This repo has been built with Foundry. Given the inter-connected nature of Aztec Connect Bridges with existing mainnet protocols, we decided Foundry / forge offered the best support for testing. This repo should make debugging, mainnet-forking, impersonation and gas profiling simple. It makes sense to test Solidity contracts with Solidty not with the added complication of Ethers / Typescript.
Developing a bridge is simple and permissionless. It is done entirely in Solidity and without any knowledge of the underlying cryptography Aztec uses. Users of your bridge will get the full benefits of ironclad privacy and 10-30x gas savings. Simply follow the steps below to get started.
- Fork / clone this repository.
- All bridges need to be submitted via PRs to this repo; we expect developers to include the following as part of their PR and for a grant payment.
- Write a Solidity bridge that interfaces with the protocol you are bridging (e.g AAVE).
- Write tests in Solidity that test the bridge with production values and the deployed protocol that is currently on mainnet. You should test a range of assets and edge cases and use Forge's fuzzing abilities.
- Write an explanation of the flows your bridge supports to be included as
spec.md. - Implement the Typescript
bridge-data.tsclass that tells a frontend developer how to use your bridge. - Deploy your bridge! Instructions coming soon.

This repo includes an Infura key that allows forking from mainnet. We have included some helpers to make testing easier.
In production a bridge is called by a user creating a client side proof via the Aztec SDK. These transaction proofs are sent to a rollup provider for aggregation. The rollup provider then sends the aggregate rollup proof with the sum of all users' proofs for a given bridgeId to your bridge contract.
A bridgeId consists of the below schema. The rollup contract uses this to construct the function parameters to pass into your bridge contract. It calls your bridge with a fixed amount of gas via a delegateCall via the DefiBridgeProxy.sol contract.
To test a bridge, we have added a MockRollupProcessor that simulates a rollup. You can call this in your tests by simply calling rollupContract.convert() with the deconstructed bridgeId fields.
In production, the rollup contract will supply inputValue of both input assets and use the interactionNonce as a globally unique ID. For testing you may provide this value.
The rollup contract will send inputValue of inputAssetA and inputAssetB ahead of the call to convert.
In production, the rollup contract has these tokens as they are the users' funds.
For testing use the deal method from the forge-std's Test class (see Example.t.sol for details).
This method prefunds the rollup with sufficient tokens to enable the transfer.
After extending the Test class simply call:
deal(address(dai), address(rollupProcessor), amount);This will set the balance of the rollup to the amount required.
The rollup contract expects a bridge to have approved for transfer by the rollupAddress the ERC20 tokens that are returned via outputValueA or outputValueB for a given asset. The DeFiBridgeProxy.sol will attempt to recover by calling transferFrom(bridgeAddress, rollupAddress, amount) for these values once bridge.convert() or bridge.finalise() have executed.
ETH is returned to the rollup from a bridge by calling the payable function with a msg.value rollupContract.receiveETH(uint256 interactionNonce). You must also set the outputValue of the corresponding outputAsset to be the amount of ETH sent.
This repo supports TypeChain so all Typescript bindings will be auto generated and added to the typechain-types folder. See the example tests for more info.
[^1]: Bridge ID is a 250-bit concatenation of the following data (starting at the most significant bit position):
| bit position | bit length | definition | description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 0 | 64 | `auxData` | custom auxiliary data for bridge-specific logic |
| 64 | 32 | `bitConfig` | flags that describe asset types |
| 96 | 32 | `openingNonce` | (optional) reference to a previous defi interaction nonce (used for virtual assets) |
| 128 | 30 | `outputAssetB` | asset id of 2nd output asset |
| 158 | 30 | `outputAssetA` | asset id of 1st output asset |
| 188 | 30 | `inputAsset` | asset id of 1st input asset |
| 218 | 32 | `bridgeAddressId` | id of bridge smart contract address |
Bit Config Definition
| bit | meaning |
| --- | --- |

This is a Typescript class designed to help a developer on the frontend use your bridge. There are 4 variants of the class:
BridgeData
AsyncBridgeData
YieldBridgeData
AsyncYieldBridgeData
You should pick the class that describes the functionality of your bridge and implement the functions to fetch data from your bridge / L1.
You can also find more information on the Aztec docs site.
Aztec is a privacy focussed L2, that enables cheap private interactions with Layer 1 smart contracts and liquidity, via a process called DeFi Aggregation. We use advanced zero-knowledge technology "zk-zk rollups" to add privacy and significant gas savings any Layer 1 protocol via Aztec Connect bridges.
A bridge is a Layer 1 Solidity contract deployed on mainnet that conforms a DeFi protocol to the interface the Aztec rollup expects. This allows the Aztec rollup contract to interact with the DeFi protocol via the bridge.
A bridge contract models any Layer 1 DeFi protocol as an asynchronous asset swap. You can specify up to two input assets and two output assets per bridge.
Users who have shielded assets on Aztec can construct a zero-knowledge proof instructing the Aztec rollup contract to make an external L1 contract call.
Rollup providers batch multiple L2 transaction intents on the Aztec Network together in a rollup. The rollup contract then makes aggregate transaction against L1 DeFi contracts and returns the funds pro-rata to the users on L2.
Aztec connect transactions can be batched together into one rollup. Each user in the batch pays a base fee to cover the verification of the rollup proof and their share of the L1 DeFi transaction gas cost. A single Aztec Connect transaction requires 3 base fees or approximately ~8000 gas.
The user then pays their share of the L1 Defi transaction. The rollup will call a bridge contract with a fixed deterministic amount of gas so the total fee is simple ~8000 gas + BRIDGE_GAS / BATCH_SIZE.
The source of funds for any Aztec Connect transaction is an Aztec shielded asset. When a user interacts with an Aztec Connect Bridge contract, their identity is kept hidden, but balances sent to the bridge are public.
Rollup providers are incentivised to batch any transaction with the same bridgeId. This reduces the cost of the L1 transaction for similar trades. A bridgeId consits of:
Aztec uses the concept of Virtual Assets or Position tokens to represent a share of assets held by a Bridge contract. This is far more gas efficient than minting ERC20 tokens. These are used when the bridge holds an asset that Aztec doesn't support (e.g. Uniswap Position NFT's or other non-fungible assets).
If the output asset of any interaction is specified as "VIRTUAL", the user will receive encrypted notes on Aztec representing their share of the position, but no tokens or ETH need to be transfered. The position tokens have an assetId that is the interactionNonce of the DeFi Bridge call. This is globably unique. Virtual assets can be used to construct complex flows, such as entering or exiting LP positions (e.g. one bridge contract can have multiple flows which are triggered using different input assets).
The auxData field can be used to provide data to the bridge contract, such as slippage, tokenIds etc.

If a Defi Bridge interaction is asynchronous, it must be finalised at a later date once the DeFi interaction has completed.
This is acheived by calling RollupProcessor.processAsyncDefiInteraction(uint256 interactionNonce). This internally will call finalise and ensure the correct amount of tokens have been transferred.
This function is called from the Aztec Rollup Contract via the DeFi Bridge Proxy. Before this function on your bridge contract is called the rollup contract will have sent you ETH or tokens defined by the input params.
This function should interact with the DeFi protocol (e.g Uniswap) and transfer tokens or ETH back to the Aztec Rollup Contract. The Rollup contract will check it received the correct amount.
If the DeFi Bridge interaction is asynchronous (e.g. it does not settle in the same block), the call to convert should return (0,0 true). The contract should record the interaction nonce for any asynchronous position or if virtual assets are returned.
At a later date, this interaction can be finalised by prodding the rollup contract to call finalise on the bridge.
This function will be called from the Azte Rollup contract. The Aztec Rollup contract will check that it received the correct amount of ETH and tokens specified by the return values and trigger the settlement step on Aztec.
