node

Example: use RLNjs in NodeJS

The example go through the following steps:

1. Deploy the necessary contracts: verifier (the mock proof verifier since it's not yet generated), ERC20 token, and the RLN contract
2. Create a RLN instance rln, and demonstrate how to register, createProof, verifyProof, withdraw, and releaseWithdrawal.
3. Create a RLN instance rlnAnother and demonstrate how to slash a spammer. rlnAnother simply register and send more proofs than they should. rln can detect the spam by examine the output from saveProof. If the status of the output is BREACH, the secret is leaked. rln can use the recovered secret to slash the spammer by calling slash.

To install and run the example, follow the steps below.

1. Install the project

$ npm install

2. Run a local testing RPC Here we use a hardhat node. If the RPC is not listening http://localhost:8545, you need to change the url in config.ts.

In a new terminal, run:

$ npx hardhat node

3. Run the example

$ npm run test
