An implementation of the SSZ serialization scheme defined in the consensus-specs repo.
This repo aims to remain lightweight and relatively free-standing, rather than coupled to other ethereum consensus code/dependencies.
This implementation has not been audited for security and is primarily intended for R&D use cases.
If you need a battle-tested implementation (e.g. for consensus-critical work), refer to the Lighthouse implementation.
To conform to the SSZ spec, a given Rust type should implement the SimpleSerialize trait. Types implementing this trait then obtain:
ssz_rs aims to add as little ceremony over the built-in Rust types as possible. The ssz_rs_derive crate provides macros to derive the encoding and decoding routines for SSZ containers and unions (represented as Rust structs and enums, respectively).
See the ssz_rs/examples for example usage.
This library provides the hash tree root computation for types implementing SimpleSerialize.
- NOTE: under construction
This library provides tools for generating and verifying multiproofs of SSZ data.
This library is no-std compatible. To build without the standard library, disable the crate's default features.
For example, in Cargo.toml:
ssz-rs = { version = "...", default-features = false }This repo includes a copy of the ssz_generic consensus spec tests as integration tests for the ssz_rs crate.
The tests are generated from a local clone of the spec tests repo and the generator script under ssz_rs/scripts.
Refer to the README there if you need to update/change these tests.
This library is still very much in flux so I suggest using the git remote feature of cargo to use this as a dependency for now.
Once things settle down, a version bump will be published to crates.io.
This means the following badges refer to outdated software. This message will be removed when this is no longer the case.
