prove-solana-wallet

This library proveTransactions ownership of a Solana wallet to off-chain verifiers.

It is compatible with standard browser wallet adapters, such as
sol-wallet-adapter,
and can be extended to others.

Install

``sh
npm install @identity.com/prove-solana-wallet
`

or

`sh
yarn add @identity.com/prove-solana-wallet
`

Usage

$3

prover side:
`js
const {create} = require('@identity.com/prove-solana-wallet');
const nonce = ${new Date().getTime()};
const proof = await create(myKeypair, nonce);
`

Verifier side:
`js
const {verify} = require('@identity.com/prove-solana-wallet');
const message = timestamp;
verify(expectedPublicKey, proof, message);
`

$3

prover side:
`js
const {proveTransaction} = require('@identity.com/prove-solana-wallet');
const proof = await proveTransaction(myKeypair);
`

Verifier side:
`js
const {verifyTransaction} = require('@identity.com/prove-solana-wallet');
await verifyTransaction(proof, expectedPublicKey);
`

prove ownership of an external wallet (e.g. sol-wallet-adapter).
See here for more details.

prover side:
`js
const {proveTransaction} = require('@identity.com/prove-solana-wallet');
import Wallet from "@project-serum/sol-wallet-adapter";

const providerUrl = 'https://www.sollet.io';
const wallet = new Wallet(providerUrl);
wallet.on('connect', async (publicKey) => {
// once the wallet is connected, we can prove ownership
const signer = (transaction:Transaction) => wallet.signTransaction(transaction);

const proof = await proveTransaction(myKeypair);
});
`

Verifier side:
`js
const {verifyTransaction} = require('@identity.com/prove-solana-wallet');
await verifyTransaction(proof, expectedPublicKey);
`

Details

The create(signMessageFn, message) function signs a message with the provided signing function, then concatenates the message with the string, both in base64 encoded form, i.e. ${messageB64}.${signatureB64}.

The verify(publicKey, proof) function decodes the message and signature from the proof, and uses nacl to verify that the given public key signed the proof.

$3

The proveTransaction() function generates a zero-value transaction, and
signs it with the wallet private key. For the transaction to be verified
by the verifyTransaction() function, it must:

- have ony one instruction: SystemProgram.transfer
- be zero-value
- be self-to-self (i.e the sender and recipient are the same)
- have a recent blockhash on mainnet
- but not be broadcast to mainnet

These measures increase the security by reducing the likelihood
that an attacker can either coerce the wallet owner to sign
a transaction or intercept a broadcast one.

Configuration

The proveTransaction and verifyTransaction functions can be configured as follows:

$3

Default: mainnet-beta

The cluster that should be used when generating and verifyTransactioning proofs

$3

Default: confirmed`

When checking that a proof transaction has not been transmitted, the commitment to be used, i.e. the degree to which the transaction is finalised by the network

$3

Optional
Default: empty

If the cluster is not a standard solana public cluster, this map provides
the cluster URL to connect to. Use this when the proof may contain a cluster that is
not recognised by solana's clusterApiUrl function.
