 36  ## 1. Overview
 37  
 38  __snarkOS__ is a decentralized operating system for zero-knowledge applications.
 39  This code forms the backbone of [Aleo](https://aleo.org/) network,
 40  which verifies transactions and stores the encrypted state applications in a publicly-verifiable manner.
 41  
 42  ## 2. Build Guide
 43  
 44  ### 2.1 Definitions
 45  
 46  The following snarkOS node types exist in the Aleo network:
 47   - **Validator**: Validator nodes participate in consensus and must be started with an account that is bonded into the committee.
 48   - **Client**: Clients do not participate in consensus but maintain a ledger. They are capable of providing information about the network as well as accepting solutions and transactions and communicating them to their peers. All clients run the same software, however, for the purposes of configuration management, this document defines two types of clients:
 49      - Core Client: Client node connected directly to a validator node.
 50      - Outer Client: Client node connected only to other clients or prover nodes.
 51   - **Prover**: Prover nodes are dedicated to solving the Aleo puzzle. They do not participate in consensus or maintain a copy of the ledger.
 52  
 53  ### 2.2 Requirements
 54  
 55  The following are the requirements to run an Aleo node:
 56   - **OS**: 64-bit architectures only, latest up-to-date for security
 57      - Clients: Ubuntu 22.04 (LTS), macOS Ventura or later, Windows 11 or later
 58      - Validators: Ubuntu 22.04 (LTS)
 59   - **CPU**: 64-bit architectures only, Latest Intel Xeon or Better
 60      - Clients: 24-cores (32-cores or larger preferred)
 61      - Validators: 64-cores (128-cores or larger preferred)
 62   - **RAM**: DDR4 or better
 63      - Clients: 128GiB of memory (192GiB or larger preferred)
 64      - Validators: 256GiB of memory (384GiB or larger preferred)
 65   - **Storage**: PCIe Gen 3 x4, PCIe Gen 4 x2 NVME SSD, or better
 66      - Clients: 2TB of disk space (4TB or larger preferred)
 67      - Validators: 4TB of disk space (6TB or larger preferred)
 68   - **Network**: Symmetric, commercial, always-on
 69      - Clients: 250Mbps of upload **and** download bandwidth
 70      - Validators: 500Mbps of upload **and** download bandwidth
 71  
 72  No explicit recommendations are made for proving nodes as proving hardware may be highly variable. If interested in running Aleo Provers nodes, please refer to resources published by the Aleo community.
 73  
 74  ### 2.3 Installation
 75  
 76  Before beginning, please ensure your machine has Rust installed, with at least [this version](rust-toolchain). Instructions to [install Rust can be found here.](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
 77  
 78  Start by cloning this GitHub repository:
 79  ```
 80  git clone --branch mainnet --single-branch https://github.com/ProvableHQ/snarkOS.git
 81  ```
 82  
 83  Next, move into the `snarkOS` directory:
 84  ```
 85  cd snarkOS
 86  ```
 87  
 88  **[For Ubuntu users]** A helper script to install dependencies is available. From the `snarkOS` directory, run:
 89  ```
 90  ./build_ubuntu.sh
 91  ```
 92  
 93  Lastly, install `snarkOS`:
 94  ```
 95  cargo install --locked --path .
 96  ```
 97  
 98  #### Optional: CUDA Acceleration for Provers
 99  
100  > This CUDA build is optional. The current snarkOS puzzle does not leverage CUDA accelerationβ€”it is a leftover from a previous event, although CUDA may become relevant again with ARC-43.
101  >
102  > The CUDA feature is considered unstable and experimental; expect breaking changes.
103  
104  For prover operators who want to experiment with GPU support:
105  ```
106  cargo install --locked --path . --features cuda
107  ```
108  
109  Please ensure ports `4130/tcp` and `3030/tcp` are open on your router and OS firewall.

134  | 9090/tcp | TCP      | Allow      | Internal VPC or VPN          | Prometheus metrics, should only be open within an internal VPC or VPN |
135  
136  **Note:** Ensure that your open file limit is set to 16,384 or above.
137  For the recommended setting run:
138  ```
139  # Increase the open file limit for the current user (replace <username> with your username)
140  echo "<username> - nofile 65536" | sudo tee -a /etc/security/limits.conf
141  # Increase the default system open file limit
142  sudo bash -c 'echo "DefaultLimitNOFILE=65536" >> /etc/systemd/system.conf'
143  ```
144  
145  ## 3. Run an Aleo Node
146  
147  ## 3.1 Run an Aleo Client
148  
149  Start by following the instructions in the [Build Guide](#2-build-guide).
150  The guide below provides information on running `core` and `outer` clients (as defined in Section 2.2.) Aleo community members running validators are recommended to run 1-3 `core` clients as their exclusive client peers. This will ensure network traffic from the public internet is verified prior to reaching the validator.
151  
152  Any client **not** connected directly to a validator can be considered an `outer` client.
153  
154  ### 3.1.1 Run an Aleo Core Client
155  
156  The following command is recommended when starting a client node that is connected to a validator:
157  `snarkos start --client --nodisplay --node 0.0.0.0:4130 --peers "validator_ip:4130,core_client_ip_1:4130,core_client_ip_2:4130,core_client_ip3:4130,outer_client_ip_1:4130,..." --verbosity 1 --norest`
158  
159  To start a core client node, you can also run the following command from the `snarkOS` directory:
160  ```
161  ./scripts/run-core-client.sh
162  ```
163  
164  ### 3.1.2 Run an Aleo Outer Client
165  
166  The following command is recommended when starting a client node that is NOT connected to a validator:
167  `snarkos start --client --nodisplay --node 0.0.0.0:4130 --peers "core_client_ip_1:4130,core_client_ip_2:4130,core_client_ip3:4130,outer_client_ip_1:4130,..." --verbosity 1 --rest 0.0.0.0:3030`
168  
169  To start an outer client node, you can also run the following command from the `snarkOS` directory:
170  ```
171  ./scripts/run-outer-client.sh
172  ```
173  
174  Outer clients can be bootstrap clients that serve as accessible entry points for new nodes joining the network with publicly known or static IPs.
175  For bootstrap clients, we also recommend the use of `--rotate-external-peers` to avoid the bootstrap peerlist from filling up.
176  
177  ## 3.2 Run an Aleo Validator
178  
179  Start by following the instructions in the [Build Guide](#2-build-guide).
180  
181  The following command is recommended when starting a validator node:
182  `snarkos start --validator --nodisplay --bft 0.0.0.0:5000 --node 0.0.0.0:4130 --peers "validator_ip_1:4130,validator_ip_2:4130,...,core_client_ip_1:4130,core_client_ip_2:4130,..." --validators "validator_ip_1:5000,validator_ip_2:5000,..." --verbosity 1 --norest --private-key-file ~/snarkOS/privatekey`
183  
184  Instead of specifying a private key file (`--private-key-file` flag), the private key can also be defined explicitly (`--private-key` flag).
185  
186  To start a validator, you can also run the following command from the `snarkOS` directory:
187  ```
188  ./scripts/run-validator.sh
189  ```
190  
191  ### 3.2.1 Enable Validator Telemetry Metrics (Optional)
192  
193  Validator telemetry allows you to track participation in consensus. This is optional and can be enabled using the `telemetry` feature flag.
194  
195  Once enabled, telemetry metrics are available through:
196  
197  1. Node logs 
198  2. REST API endpoints
199      ``` 
200      // GET /{network}/validators/participation
201      // GET /{network}/validators/participation?metadata={true}
202      ```
203  
204  You can enable telemetry in one of the following ways:
205  
206  #### 1. Enable via [installation](#2.3-installation)
207  
208  Add the `telemetry` feature flag to the installation command.
209  ```
210  cargo install --locked --path . --features telemetry
211  ```
212  
213  #### 2. Enable via `./run-validator.sh`
214  
215  Run the `./scripts/run-validator.sh` script and enable telemetry when prompted:
216  ```
217  Do you want to enable validator telemetry? (y/n, default: y):
218  ```
219  
220  ## 3.3 Run an Aleo Prover
221  
222  Start by following the instructions in the [Build Guide](#2-build-guide).
223  
224  Next, generate an Aleo account address:
225  ```
226  snarkos account new
227  ```
228  This will output a new Aleo account in the terminal.
229  
230  **Please remember to save the account private key and view key.** The following is an example output:
231  ```
232   Attention - Remember to store this account private key and view key.
233  
234    Private Key  APrivateKey1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  <-- Save Me And Use In The Next Step
235       View Key  AViewKey1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  <-- Save Me
236        Address  ax1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  <-- Save Me
237  ```
238  
239  Next, to start a proving node, from the `snarkOS` directory, run:
240  ```
241  ./scripts/run-prover.sh
242  ```
243  When prompted, enter your Aleo private key:
244  ```
245  Enter the Aleo Prover account private key:
246  APrivateKey1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
247  ```
248  
249  ## 4. FAQs
250  
251  ### 1. My node is unable to compile.
252  
253  - Ensure your machine has Rust installed, with at least [this version](rust-toolchain). Instructions to [install Rust can be found here.](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
254  - If large errors appear during compilation, try running `cargo clean`.
255  - Ensure `snarkOS` is started using `./scripts/run-client.sh` or `./scripts/run-prover.sh`.
256  
257  ### 2. My node is unable to connect to peers on the network.
258  
259  - Ensure ports `4130/tcp` and `3030/tcp` are open on your router and OS firewall.
260  - Ensure `snarkOS` is started using `./scripts/run-client.sh` or `./scripts/run-prover.sh`.
261  
262  ### 3. I can't generate a new address ### 
263  
264  - Before running the command above (`snarkos account new`) try `source ~/.bashrc`
265  - Also double-check the spelling of `snarkos`. Note the directory is `/snarkOS`, and the command is `snarkos`
266  
267  ### 4. How do I use the CLI to sign and verify a message?
268  
269  1. Generate an account with `snarkos account new` if you haven't already
270  2. Sign a message with your private key using `snarkos account sign --raw -m "Message" --private-key-file=<PRIVATE_KEY_FILE>`
271  3. Verify your signature with `snarkos account verify --raw -m "Message" -s sign1SignatureHere -a ax1YourAccountAddress`
272  
273  Note, using the `--raw` flag with the command will sign plaintext messages as bytes rather than [Aleo values](https://developer.alpha.org/guides/aleo/language#data-types-and-values) such as `1u8` or `100field`.
274  
275  
276  ## 5. Command Line Interface
277  
278  To run a node with custom settings, refer to the options and flags available in the `snarkOS` CLI.

326  ```
327  
328  ## 6. Development Guide
329  
330  ### 6.1 Quick Start
331  
332  In the first terminal, start the first validator by running:
333  ```
334  cargo run --release -- start --nodisplay --dev 0 --validator
335  ```
336  In the second terminal, start the second validator by running:
337  ```
338  cargo run --release -- start --nodisplay --dev 1 --validator
339  ```
340  In the third terminal, start the third validator by running:
341  ```
342  cargo run --release -- start --nodisplay --dev 2 --validator
343  ```
344  In the fourth terminal, start the fourth validator by running:
345  ```
346  cargo run --release -- start --nodisplay --dev 3 --validator
347  ```
348  
349  From here, this procedure can be used to further start-up provers and clients.
350  
351  ### 6.2 Operations
352  
353  It is important to initialize the nodes starting from `0` and incrementing by `1` for each new node.
354  
355  The following is a list of options to initialize a node (replace `<NODE_ID>` with a number starting from `0`):
356  ```
357  cargo run --release -- start --nodisplay --dev <NODE_ID> --validator
358  cargo run --release -- start --nodisplay --dev <NODE_ID> --prover
359  cargo run --release -- start --nodisplay --dev <NODE_ID> --client
360  cargo run --release -- start --nodisplay --dev <NODE_ID>
361  ```
362  
363  When no node type is specified, the node will default to `--client`.
364  
365  ### 6.3 Local Devnet
366  
367  #### 6.3.1 Install `tmux`
368  
369  To run a local devnet with the script, start by installing `tmux`.
370  
371  <details><summary>macOS</summary>
372  
373  To install `tmux` on macOS, you can use the `Homebrew` package manager.
374  If you haven't installed `Homebrew` yet, you can find instructions at [their website](https://brew.sh/).
375  ```bash
376  # Once Homebrew is installed, run:
377  brew install tmux
378  ```

393  
394  There are a couple of ways to use `tmux` on Windows:
395  
396  ### Using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
397  
398  1. First, install [Windows Subsystem for Linux](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install).
399  2. Once WSL is set up and you have a Linux distribution installed (e.g., Ubuntu), open your WSL terminal and install `tmux` as you would on a native Linux system:
400  ```bash
401  sudo apt update
402  sudo apt install tmux
403  ```
404

407  #### 6.3.2 Start a Local Devnet
408  
409  To start a local devnet, run:
410  ```
411  ./scripts/devnet.sh
412  ```
413  Follow the instructions in the terminal to start the devnet.
414  
415  #### 6.3.3 View a Local Devnet
416  
417  #### Switch Nodes (forward)
418  
419  To toggle to the next node in a local devnet, run:
420  ```
421  Ctrl+b n
422  ```
423  
424  #### Switch Nodes (backwards)
425  
426  To toggle to the previous node in a local devnet, run:
427  ```
428  Ctrl+b p
429  ```
430  
431  #### Select a Node (choose-tree)
432  
433  To select a node in a local devnet, run:
434  ```
435  Ctrl+b w
436  ```
437  
438  #### Select a Node (manually)
439  
440  To select a node manually in a local devnet, run:
441  ```
442  Ctrl+b :select-window -t {NODE_ID}
443  ```
444  
445  #### 6.3.4 Stop a Local Devnet
446  
447  To stop a local devnet, run:
448  ```
449  Ctrl+b :kill-session
450  ```
451  Then, press `Enter`.
452  
453  ### Clean Up
454  
455  To clean up the node storage, run:
456  ```
457  cargo run --release -- clean --dev <NODE_ID>
458  ```
459  
460  ## 6.4 Feature Flags
461  
462  By default, the metrics feature is turned on for some internal crates.
463  
464  * **history** -
465    Enables a /history REST endpoint.
466  * **telemetry** -
467    Allows the node to upload telemetry data.
468  * **cuda** -
469    Allows some operations to run on the (NVidia) GPU, instead of on the CPU. See [CUDA acceleration for provers](#optional-cuda-acceleration-for-provers) for install tips and current puzzle status.
470  * **locktick** -
471    This feature turns on code for detecting deadlocks.
472  * **test_targets** -
473    This feature allows the lowering of coinbase and proof targets for testing.
474  
475  ## 6.5 Local backups
476  
477  The snarkOS node implementation uses rocksdb under the hood. By using its native checkpointing mechanism, you can create backups locally and efficiently. The backups leverage hard links on your filesystem, thereby incurring only a marginal amount of extra space. The aim of these local backups is for you to be able to recover quickly in case your node were to halt.
478  
479  You can find a basic sample script in `scripts/backup.sh` which you can run as a cron-job e.g. every minute. Each run of the script creates a new backup folder with a timestamp postfix. It will ensure a backup is kept which is 1 minute old, 5 minutes old, 1 hour old and 1 day old. In more detail, on each run it will:
480  - always overwrite the latest backup
481  - only overwrite the 5 minute backup if it is older than 5 minutes
482  - only overwrite the 1 hour backup if it is older than 1 hour
483  - only overwrite the 1 day backup if it is older than 1 day
484  
485  You may want to change the `NETWORK`, `BASE_DIR`, `ENDPOINT` and `JWT` variables.
