## 1. Overview

__snarkOS__ is a decentralized operating system for zero-knowledge applications.
This code forms the backbone of [Aleo](https://aleo.org/) network,
which verifies transactions and stores the encrypted state applications in a publicly-verifiable manner.

## 2. Build Guide

### 2.1 Definitions

The following snarkOS node types exist in the Aleo network:
 - **Validator**: Validator nodes participate in consensus and must be started with an account that is bonded into the committee.
 - **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:
    - Core Client: Client node connected directly to a validator node.
    - Outer Client: Client node connected only to other clients or prover nodes.
 - **Prover**: Prover nodes are dedicated to solving the Aleo puzzle. They do not participate in consensus or maintain a copy of the ledger.

### 2.2 Requirements

The following are the requirements to run an Aleo node:
 - **OS**: 64-bit architectures only, latest up-to-date for security
    - Clients: Ubuntu 22.04 (LTS), macOS Ventura or later, Windows 11 or later
    - Validators: Ubuntu 22.04 (LTS)
 - **CPU**: 64-bit architectures only, Latest Intel Xeon or Better
    - Clients: 24-cores (32-cores or larger preferred)
    - Validators: 64-cores (128-cores or larger preferred)
 - **RAM**: DDR4 or better
    - Clients: 128GiB of memory (192GiB or larger preferred)
    - Validators: 256GiB of memory (384GiB or larger preferred)
 - **Storage**: PCIe Gen 3 x4, PCIe Gen 4 x2 NVME SSD, or better
    - Clients: 2TB of disk space (4TB or larger preferred)
    - Validators: 4TB of disk space (6TB or larger preferred)
 - **Network**: Symmetric, commercial, always-on
    - Clients: 250Mbps of upload **and** download bandwidth
    - Validators: 500Mbps of upload **and** download bandwidth

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.

### 2.3 Installation

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)

Start by cloning this GitHub repository:
```
git clone --branch mainnet --single-branch https://github.com/ProvableHQ/snarkOS.git
```

Next, move into the `snarkOS` directory:
```
cd snarkOS
git checkout tags/testnet-beta
```

**[For Ubuntu users]** A helper script to install dependencies is available. From the `snarkOS` directory, run:
```
./build_ubuntu.sh
```

Lastly, install `snarkOS`:
```
cargo install --locked --path .
```

Please ensure ports `4130/tcp` and `3030/tcp` are open on your router and OS firewall.

| 9090/tcp | TCP      | Allow      | Internal VPC or VPN          | Prometheus metrics, should only be open within an internal VPC or VPN |

**Note:** Ensure that your open file limit is set to 16,384 or above.
For the recommended setting run:
```
# Increase the open file limit for the current user (replace <username> with your username)
echo "<username> - nofile 65536" | sudo tee -a /etc/security/limits.conf
# Increase the default system open file limit
sudo bash -c 'echo "DefaultLimitNOFILE=65536" >> /etc/systemd/system.conf'
```

## 3. Run an Aleo Node

## 3.1 Run an Aleo Client

Start by following the instructions in the [Build Guide](#2-build-guide).
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.

Any client **not** connected directly to a validator can be considered an `outer` client.

### 3.1.1 Run an Aleo Core Client

The following command is recommended when starting a client node that is connected to a validator:
`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`

To start a core client node, you can also run the following command from the `snarkOS` directory:
```
./run-core-client.sh
```

### 3.1.2 Run an Aleo Outer Client

The following command is recommended when starting a client node that is NOT connected to a validator:
`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`

To start an outer client node, you can also run the following command from the `snarkOS` directory:
```
./run-outer-client.sh
```

Outer clients can be bootstrap clients that serve as accessible entry points for new nodes joining the network with publicly known or static IPs.
For bootstrap clients, we also recommend the use of `--rotate-external-peers` to avoid the bootstrap peerlist from filling up.

## 3.2 Run an Aleo Validator

Start by following the instructions in the [Build Guide](#2-build-guide).

The following command is recommended when starting a validator node:
`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`

Instead of specifying a private key file (`--private-key-file` flag), the private key can also be defined explicitly (`--private-key` flag).

To start a validator, you can also run the following command from the `snarkOS` directory:
```
./run-validator.sh
```

### 3.2.1 Enable Validator Telemetry Metrics (Optional)

Validator telemetry allows you to track participation in consensus. This is optional and can be enabled using the `telemetry` feature flag.

Once enabled, telemetry metrics are available through:

1. Node logs 
2. REST API endpoints
    ``` 
    // GET /{network}/validators/participation
    // GET /{network}/validators/participation?metadata={true}
    ```

You can enable telemetry in one of the following ways:

#### 1. Enable via [installation](#2.3-installation)

Add the `telemetry` feature flag to the installation command.
```
cargo install --locked --path . --features telemetry
```

#### 2. Enable via `./run-validator.sh`

Run the `./run-validator.sh` script and enable telemetry when prompted:
```
Do you want to enable validator telemetry? (y/n, default: y):
```

## 3.3 Run an Aleo Prover

Start by following the instructions in the [Build Guide](#2-build-guide).

Next, generate an Aleo account address:
```
snarkos account new
```
This will output a new Aleo account in the terminal.

**Please remember to save the account private key and view key.** The following is an example output:
```
 Attention - Remember to store this account private key and view key.

  Private Key  APrivateKey1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  <-- Save Me And Use In The Next Step
     View Key  AViewKey1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  <-- Save Me
      Address  aleo1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  <-- Save Me
```

Next, to start a proving node, from the `snarkOS` directory, run:
```
./run-prover.sh
```
When prompted, enter your Aleo private key:
```
Enter the Aleo Prover account private key:
APrivateKey1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
```

### 3.3.1 Enable CUDA Acceleration (Optional) <a name="cuda"></a>

If a supported Nvidia GPU is available, CUDA-based acceleration can be enabled using the following command:

```
./run-prover.sh --cuda
```

**Note:** If CUDA is not explicitly enabled or a compatible GPU is not detected, the prover will automatically run on the CPU.

#### Requirements for CUDA Acceleration
To use the `--cuda` flag, ensure your system meets the following requirements:

- SM_70 (Volta) or later
- [CUDA Toolkit (nvcc)](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/index.html#installation-guides)

You can check the respective versions with the following commands:
```
nvidia-smi       # Check GPU model and driver
nvcc --version   # Check installed CUDA version
```

## 4. FAQs

### 1. My node is unable to compile.

- 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)
- If large errors appear during compilation, try running `cargo clean`.
- Ensure `snarkOS` is started using `./run-client.sh` or `./run-prover.sh`.

### 2. My node is unable to connect to peers on the network.

- Ensure ports `4130/tcp` and `3030/tcp` are open on your router and OS firewall.
- Ensure `snarkOS` is started using `./run-client.sh` or `./run-prover.sh`.

### 3. I can't generate a new address ### 

- Before running the command above (`snarkos account new`) try `source ~/.bashrc`
- Also double-check the spelling of `snarkos`. Note the directory is `/snarkOS`, and the command is `snarkos`

### 4. How do I use the CLI to sign and verify a message?

1. Generate an account with `snarkos account new` if you haven't already
2. Sign a message with your private key using `snarkos account sign --raw -m "Message" --private-key-file=<PRIVATE_KEY_FILE>`
3. Verify your signature with `snarkos account verify --raw -m "Message" -s sign1SignatureHere -a aleo1YourAccountAddress`

Note, using the `--raw` flag with the command will sign plaintext messages as bytes rather than [Aleo](https://developer.aleo.org/aleo/language#data-types-and-values) values such as `1u8` or `100field`.


## 5. Command Line Interface

To run a node with custom settings, refer to the options and flags available in the `snarkOS` CLI.

The full list of CLI flags and options can be viewed with `snarkos --help`:

## 6. Development Guide

### 6.1 Quick Start

In the first terminal, start the first validator by running:
```
cargo run --release -- start --nodisplay --dev 0 --validator
```
In the second terminal, start the second validator by running:
```
cargo run --release -- start --nodisplay --dev 1 --validator
```
In the third terminal, start the third validator by running:
```
cargo run --release -- start --nodisplay --dev 2 --validator
```
In the fourth terminal, start the fourth validator by running:
```
cargo run --release -- start --nodisplay --dev 3 --validator
```

From here, this procedure can be used to further start-up provers and clients.

### 6.2 Operations

It is important to initialize the nodes starting from `0` and incrementing by `1` for each new node.

The following is a list of options to initialize a node (replace `<NODE_ID>` with a number starting from `0`):
```
cargo run --release -- start --nodisplay --dev <NODE_ID> --validator
cargo run --release -- start --nodisplay --dev <NODE_ID> --prover
cargo run --release -- start --nodisplay --dev <NODE_ID> --client
cargo run --release -- start --nodisplay --dev <NODE_ID>
```

When no node type is specified, the node will default to `--client`.

### 6.3 Local Devnet

#### 6.3.1 Install `tmux`

To run a local devnet with the script, start by installing `tmux`.

<details><summary>macOS</summary>

To install `tmux` on macOS, you can use the `Homebrew` package manager.
If you haven't installed `Homebrew` yet, you can find instructions at [their website](https://brew.sh/).
```bash
# Once Homebrew is installed, run:
brew install tmux
```

</details>

<details><summary>Ubuntu</summary>

On Ubuntu and other Debian-based systems, you can use the `apt` package manager:
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install tmux
```

</details>

<details><summary>Windows</summary>

There are a couple of ways to use `tmux` on Windows:

### Using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

1. First, install [Windows Subsystem for Linux](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install).
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:
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install tmux
```

</details>

#### 6.3.2 Start a Local Devnet

To start a local devnet, run:
```
./devnet.sh
```
Follow the instructions in the terminal to start the devnet.

#### 6.3.3 View a Local Devnet

#### Switch Nodes (forward)

To toggle to the next node in a local devnet, run:
```
Ctrl+b n
```

#### Switch Nodes (backwards)

To toggle to the previous node in a local devnet, run:
```
Ctrl+b p
```

#### Select a Node (choose-tree)

To select a node in a local devnet, run:
```
Ctrl+b w
```

#### Select a Node (manually)

To select a node manually in a local devnet, run:
```
Ctrl+b :select-window -t {NODE_ID}
```

#### 6.3.4 Stop a Local Devnet

To stop a local devnet, run:
```
Ctrl+b :kill-session
```
Then, press `Enter`.

### Clean Up
