This is a fork of @polytope-labs/solidity-merkle-trees which slims the Merkle Tree Solidity libraries down to Ethereum-only utilities, and converts the library methods to be internal such that they do not be independently deployed and invoked using a delegatecall. It also increases the Solidity version requirement to 0.8.18

@polytope-labs/solidity-merkle-trees

This library contains the implementations of various merkle tree verification algorithms. Currently supported algorithms:

• Merkle Trees (supports unbalanced trees).
• Merkle Mountain Ranges.
• Merkle-Patricia Trie.

Installation

npm install @polytope-labs/solidity-merkle-trees

Merkle Multi Proofs

This algorithm is based on the research done here: https://research.polytope.technology/merkle-multi-proofs

You can use it to verify proofs like so:

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

import "@polytope-labs/solidity-merkle-trees/MerkleMultiProof.sol";

contract YourContract {
    function verify(
        bytes32 root,
        Node[][] memory proof,
        Node[] leaves
    ) public {
        require(MerkleMultiProof.VerifyProof(root, proof, leaves), "Invalid proof");
    }
}

You can generate the 2D merkle multi proofs using this rust lib polytope-labs/rs-merkle

Merkle Mountain Range Multi Proofs

This algorithm is based on the research done here: https://research.polytope.technology/merkle-mountain-range-multi-proofs

You can use it to verify proofs like so:

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

import "@polytope-labs/solidity-merkle-trees/MerkleMountainRange.sol";

contract YourContract {
    function verify(
        bytes32 root,
        bytes32[] memory proof,
        MmrLeaf[] memory leaves,
        uint256 mmrSize
    ) public {
        require(MerkleMountainRange.VerifyProof(root, proof, leaves, mmrSize), "Invalid proof");
    }
}

You can derive the k-indices for the mmr leaves using this rust lib polytope-labs/merkle-mountain-range.

Merkle Patricia Trie

This library also supports the verification of the different styles of merkle patricia tries:

• Ethereum
• NEAR
  

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

import "@polytope-labs/solidity-merkle-trees/MerklePatricia.sol";

contract YourContract {
    function verifyEthereumProof(
        bytes32 root,
        bytes[] memory proof,
        bytes[] memory keys,
    ) public {
        // verifies ethereum specific merkle patricia proofs as described by EIP-1188.
        // can be used to verify the receipt trie, transaction trie and state trie
        // contributed by @ripa1995
        bytes[] values = MerklePatricia.VerifyEthereumProof(root, proof, keys);
        // do something with the verified values.
      }
}

Testing Guide

This guide assumes Rust...along with it's nightly version, Solidity, cargo-fuzz and Forge are installed, if not browse the official websites/repositories for instructions.

Change into the forge directory and build the contracts;

cd forge
forge build

To run the unit tests associated with the Merkle Multi Proof library;

cargo test --lib merkle_multi_proof

To run the unit tests associated with the Merkle Mountain Range library;

cargo test --lib merkle_mountain_range

To run the unit and fuzz tests associated with the Merkle Patricia Trie library;

cargo test --lib merkle_patricia
cargo +nightly fuzz run trie_proof_valid
cargo +nightly fuzz run trie_proof_invalid

Run Tests in Docker

Execute the following commands in the project directory:

git submodule update --init --recursive
# run tests for all merkle verifiers
docker run --memory="24g" --rm --user root -v "$PWD":/app -w /app rust:latest cargo test --release --manifest-path=./forge/Cargo.toml
# fuzz the merkle-patricia verifier
docker build -t test .
docker run --memory="24g" --rm --user root -v "$PWD":/app -w /app/forge/fuzz test cargo +nightly fuzz run trie_proof_valid
docker run --memory="24g" --rm --user root -v "$PWD":/app -w /app/forge/fuzz test cargo +nightly fuzz run trie_proof_invalid
