• Add assertion to the foreign EC addition gadget that prevents degenerate cases #1545
  • Fixes soundness of ECDSA; slightly increases its constraints from ~28k to 29k
  • Breaks circuits that used EC addition, like ECDSA
• Mina.LocalBlockchain() and Proof.fromJSON() are made async #1583
  • These were the last remaining sync APIs that depended on an async setup task; making them async enables removing top-level await

• Remove Account() constructor which was no different from AccountUpdate.create().account, and export Account type instead. #1598

Added

• Export Events under AccountUpdate.Events. #1563
• Mina.transaction has been reworked such that one can call methods directly on the returned promise (now a TransactionPromise). This enables a fluent / method-chaining API. #1567
• TransactionPendingPromise enables calling wait directly on the promise returned by calling send on a Transaction. #1567
• initializeBindings() to explicitly trigger setup work that is needed when running provable code #1583
  • calling this function is optional

Changed

0.18.0 - 2024-04-09

Breaking changes

• Async circuits. Require all smart contract and zkprogram methods to be async #1477
  • This change allows you to use await inside your methods. Change the method signature by adding the async keyword.

• Remove privateKey from the accepted arguments of SmartContract.deploy() #1515
• Efficient comparisons. Support arbitrary bit lengths for Field comparisons and massively reduce their constraints #1523
  • Field.assertLessThan() goes from 510 to 24 constraints, Field.lessThan() from 509 to 38
  • Moderately improve other comparisons: UInt64.assertLessThan() from 27 to 14, UInt64.lessThan() from 27 to 15, UInt32 similar.
  • Massively improve Field.isEven(), add Field.isOdd()
  • PrivateKey.toPublicKey() from 358 to 119 constraints thanks to isOdd()
  • Add Gadgets.ForeignField.assertLessThanOrEqual() and support two variables as input to ForeignField.assertLessThan()
• Remove this.sender which unintuitively did not prove that its value was the actual sender of the transaction #1464 @julio4 Replaced by more explicit APIs:
  • this.sender.getUnconstrained() which has the old behavior of this.sender, and returns an unconstrained value (which means that the prover can set it to any value they want)
  • this.sender.getAndRequireSignature() which requires a signature from the sender's public key and therefore proves that whoever created the transaction really owns the sender account
• Reducer.reduce() requires the maximum number of actions per method as an explicit (optional) argument #1450
  • The default value is 1 and should work for most existing contracts
• new UInt64() and UInt64.from() no longer unsafely accept a field element as input. #1438 @julio4
  As a replacement, UInt64.Unsafe.fromField() was introduced
  • This prevents you from accidentally creating a UInt64 without proving that it fits in 64 bits
  • Equivalent changes were made to UInt32
• Fixed vulnerability in Field.to/fromBits() outlined in #1023 by imposing a limit of 254 bits #1461
• Remove Field.rangeCheckHelper() which was too low-level and easy to misuse #1485
  • Also, rename the misleadingly named Gadgets.isInRangeN() to Gadgets.isDefinitelyInRangeN()
• Rename Bool.Unsafe.ofField() to Bool.Unsafe.fromField() #1485
• Replace the namespaced type exports Gadgets.Field3 and Gadgets.ForeignField.Sum with Field3 and ForeignFieldSum
  • Unfortunately, the namespace didn't play well with auto-imports in TypeScript
• Add Gadgets.rangeCheck3x12() and fix proof system bug that prevented it from working #1534

  • Changed the TransactionId type to Transaction. Additionally added PendingTransaction and RejectedTransaction types to better represent the state of a transaction.
  • Transaction.safeSend() and PendingTransaction.safeWait() are introduced to return a IncludedTransaction or RejectedTransaction object without throwing errors.
  • transaction.send() throws an error if the transaction was not successful for both Mina.LocalBlockchain and Mina.Network and returns a PendingTransaction object if it was successful. Use transaction.safeSend to send a transaction that will not throw an error and either return a PendingTransaction or RejectedTransaction.
  • transaction.wait() throws an error if the transaction was not successful for both Mina.LocalBlockchain and Mina.Network and returns a IncludedTransaction object if it was successful. Use transaction.safeWait to send a transaction that will not throw an error and either return a IncludedTransaction or RejectedTransaction.
  • transaction.hash() is no longer a function, it is now a property that returns the hash of the transaction.
  • Changed Transaction.isSuccess to Transaction.status to better represent the state of a transaction.
• Improved efficiency of computing AccountUpdate.callData by packing field elements into as few field elements as possible #1458
  • This leads to a large reduction in the number of constraints used when inputs to a zkApp method are many field elements (e.g. a long list of Bools)
• Return events in the LocalBlockchain in reverse chronological order (latest events at the beginning) to match the behavior of the Network #1460

Added

• Support for custom network identifiers other than mainnet or testnet #1444
• PrivateKey.randomKeypair() to generate private and public key in one command #1446

• Removed array reversal of fetched actions, since they are returned in the correct order. #1258

0.14.0

Breaking changes

• Constraint optimizations in Field methods and core crypto changes break all verification keys #1171 #1178

Changed

• ZkProgram has moved out of the Experimental namespace and is now available as a top-level import directly. Experimental.ZkProgram has been deprecated.
• ZkProgram gets a new input argument name: string which is required in the non-experimental API. The name is used to identify a ZkProgram when caching prover keys. #1200

Added

• Lightnet namespace to interact with the account manager provided by the lightnet Mina network #1167
• Internal support for several custom gates (range check, bitwise operations, foreign field operations) and lookup tables #1176
• Gadgets.rangeCheck64(), new provable method to do efficient 64-bit range checks using lookup tables #1181
• Gadgets.rotate(), new provable method to support bitwise rotation for native field elements. #1182
• Gadgets.xor(), new provable method to support bitwise xor for native field elements. #1177
• Proof.dummy() to create dummy proofs #1188
  • You can use this to write ZkPrograms that handle the base case and the inductive case in the same method.

Changed

• Use cached prover keys in compile() when running in Node.js #1187
  • Caching is configurable by passing a custom Cache (new export) to compile()
  • By default, prover keys are stored in an OS-dependent cache directory; ~/.cache/pickles on Mac and Linux
• Use cached setup points (SRS and Lagrange bases) when running in Node.js #1197
  • Also, speed up SRS generation by using multiple threads
  • Together with caching of prover keys, this speeds up compilation time by roughly
    • 86% when everything is cached
    • 34% when nothing is cached

• Improve error when forgetting transaction.prove() #1095

0.12.1

Added

• Added a method createTestNullifier to the Nullifier class for testing purposes. It is recommended to use mina-signer to create Nullifiers in production, since it does not leak the private key of the user. The Nullifier.createTestNullifier method requires the private key as an input outside of the users wallet. #1026
• Added field.isEven to check if a Field element is odd or even. #1026

Fixed

• Revert verification key hash change from previous release to stay compatible with the current testnet #1032

0.12.0

Breaking Changes

0.10.1

Changed

• Allow ZkPrograms to return their public output #874 #876
  • new option ZkProgram({ publicOutput?: Provable<any>, ... }); publicOutput has to match the return type of all ZkProgram methods.

  • full usage example: https://github.com/o1-labs/o1js/blob/f95cf2903e97292df9e703b74ee1fc3825df826d/src/examples/program.ts

0.10.0

Breaking Changes

• All references to actionsHash are renamed to actionState to better mirror what is used in Mina protocol APIs #833
  • This change affects function parameters and returned object keys throughout the API
• No longer make MayUseToken.InheritFromParent the default mayUseToken value on the caller if one zkApp method calls another one; this removes the need to manually override mayUseToken in several known cases #863
  • Causes a breaking change to the verification key of deployed contracts that use zkApp composability

Added

• this.state.getAndAssertEquals() as a shortcut for let x = this.state.get(); this.state.assertEquals(x); #863
  • also added .getAndAssertEquals() on this.account and this.network fields
• Support for fallback endpoints when making network requests, allowing users to provide an array of endpoints for GraphQL network requests. #871
  • Endpoints are fetched two at a time, and the result returned from the faster response
• reducer.forEach(actions, ...) as a shortcut for reducer.reduce() when you don't need a state #863
• New export TokenId which supersedes Token.Id; TokenId.deriveId() replaces Token.Id.getId() #863
• Add Permissions.allImpossible() for the set of permissions where nothing is allowed (more convenient than Permissions.default() when you want to make most actions impossible) #863

Changed

• Massive improvement of memory consumption, thanks to a refactor of o1js' worker usage #872
  • Memory reduced by up to 10x; see the PR for details
  • Side effect: Circuit API becomes async, for example MyCircuit.prove(...) becomes await MyCircuit.prove(...)

• Improve Transaction.toPretty() output by adding account update labels in most methods that create account updates #863
• Raises the limit of actions/events per transaction from 16 to 100, providing users with the ability to submit a larger number of events/actions in a single transaction. #883.

Deprecated

• Deprecate both shutdown() and await isReady, which are no longer needed #872

Fixed

• SmartContract.deploy() now throws an error when no verification key is found #885

0.9.8

Fixed

• Fix fetching the access permission on accounts #851
• Fix fetchActions #844 #854 @Comdex
• Updated Mina.TransactionId.isSuccess to accurately verify zkApp transaction status after using Mina.TransactionId.wait(). #826

Added

• smartContract.fetchActions() and Mina.fetchActions(), asynchronous methods to fetch actions directly from an archive node #843 @Comdex

Changed

• Circuit.runAndCheck() now uses snarky to create a constraint system and witnesses, and check constraints. It closely matches behavior during proving and can be used to test provable code without having to create an expensive proof #840

Fixed

• Fixes two issues that were temporarily reintroduced in the 0.9.6 release #799 #530

0.9.6

Breaking changes

• Circuits changed due to an internal rename of "sequence events" to "actions" which included a change to some hash prefixes; this breaks all deployed contracts.
• Temporarily reintroduces 2 known issues as a result of reverting a fix necessary for network redeployment:
  • #799
  • #530
  • Please note that we plan to address these issues in a future release. In the meantime, to work around this breaking change, you can try calling fetchAccount for each account involved in a transaction before executing the Mina.transaction block.
• Improve number of constraints needed for Merkle tree hashing #820
  • This breaks deployed zkApps which use MerkleWitness.calculateRoot(), because the circuit is changed
  • You can make your existing contracts compatible again by switching to MerkleWitness.calculateRootSlow(), which has the old circuit
• Renamed function parameters: The getAction function now accepts a new object structure for its parameters. #828
  • The previous object keys, fromActionHash and endActionHash, have been replaced by fromActionState and endActionState.

Added

• zkProgram.analyzeMethods() to obtain metadata about a ZkProgram's methods #829 @maht0rz

Fixed

• Improved Event Handling in o1js #825
  • Updated the internal event type to better handle events emitted in different zkApp transactions and when multiple zkApp transactions are present within a block.
  • The internal event type now includes event data and transaction information as separate objects, allowing for more accurate information about each event and its associated transaction.
• Removed multiple best tip blocks when fetching action data #817
  • Implemented a temporary fix that filters out multiple best tip blocks, if they exist, while fetching actions. This fix will be removed once the related issue in the Archive-Node-API repository (o1-labs/Archive-Node-API#7) is resolved.
• New fromActionState and endActionState parameters for fetchActions function in o1js #828
  • Allows fetching only necessary actions to compute the latest actions state
  • Eliminates the need to retrieve the entire actions history of a zkApp
  • Utilizes actionStateTwo field returned by Archive Node API as a safe starting point for deriving the most recent action hash

0.9.5

• Update the zkApp verification key from within one of its own methods, via proof #812

Breaking changes

• Change type of verification key returned by SmartContract.compile() to match VerificationKey #812

Fixed

• Failing Mina.transaction on Berkeley because of unsatisfied constraints caused by dummy data before we fetched account state #807
  • Previously, you could work around this by calling fetchAccount() for every account invovled in a transaction. This is not necessary anymore.

0.9.4

Fixed

• getActions to handle multiple actions with multiple Account Updates #801

0.9.3

• Added an option to specify tokenId as Field in fetchAccount() #787 @rpanic

0.9.2

Added

• this.network.timestamp is added back and is implemented on top of this.network.globalSlotSinceGenesis #755

Changed

• On-chain value globalSlot is replaced by the clearer currentSlot #755
  • currentSlot refers to the slot at which the transaction will be included in a block.
  • the only supported method is currentSlot.assertBetween() because currentSlot.get() is impossible to implement since the value is determined in the future and currentSlot.assertEquals() is error-prone

Fixed

• Incorrect counting of limit on events and actions #758
• Type error when using Circuit.array in on-chain state or events #758
• Bug when using Circuit.witness outside the prover #774

0.9.1

  • Can be used to assert that the state wasn't tampered with by the zkApp developer using non-contract logic, for example, before deploying the zkApp
• New on-chain value globalSlot, to make assertions about the current time #649
  • example: this.globalSlot.get(), this.globalSlot.assertBetween(lower, upper)
  • Replaces network.timestamp, network.globalSlotSinceGenesis and network.globalSlotSinceHardFork. #560
• New permissions:
  • access to control whether account updates for this account can be used at all #500

  • Example: this.permissions.set({ ...Permissions.default(), access: Permissions.proofOrSignature() })
• Expose low-level view into the PLONK gates created by a smart contract method #687
  • MyContract.analyzeMethods().<method name>.gates

Changed

• BREAKING CHANGE: Modify signature algorithm used by Signature.{create,verify} to be compatible with mina-signer #710
  • Signatures created with mina-signer's client.signFields() can now be verified inside a SNARK!
  • Breaks existing deployed smart contracts which use Signature.verify()
• BREAKING CHANGE: Circuits changed due to core protocol and cryptography changes; this breaks all deployed contracts.
• BREAKING CHANGE: Change structure of Account type which is returned by Mina.getAccount() #741
  • for example, account.appState -> account.zkapp.appState
  • full new type (exported as Types.Account):

    o1js/src/provable/gen/transaction.ts

    Line 515 in 0be70cb

    type Account = {

• Test accounts hard-coded in LocalBlockchain now have default permissions, not permissions allowing everything. Fixes some unintuitive behaviour in tests, like requiring no signature when using these accounts to send MINA #638

Removed

• Preconditions timestamp and globalSlotSinceHardFork #560
  • timestamp is expected to come back as a wrapper for the new globalSlot

0.8.0

  • wait() also now takes an optional options parameter to specify the polling interval or maximum attempts. wait(options?: { maxAttempts?: number; interval?: number }): Promise<void>;
• Circuit.constraintSystemFromKeypair(keypair) to inspect the circuit at a low level #529
  • Works with a keypair (prover + verifier key) generated with the Circuit API
• Mina.faucet() can now be used to programmatically fund an address on the testnet, using the faucet provided by faucet.minaprotocol.com #693

Changed

• BREAKING CHANGE: Constraint changes in sign(), requireSignature() and createSigned() on AccountUpdate / SmartContract. This means that smart contracts using these methods in their proofs won't be able to create valid proofs against old deployed verification keys. #637
• Mina.transaction now takes a public key as the fee payer argument (passing in a private key is deprecated) #652
  • Before: Mina.transaction(privateKey, ...). Now: Mina.transaction(publicKey, ...)
  • AccountUpdate.fundNewAccount() now enables funding multiple accounts at once, and deprecates the initialBalance argument
• New option enforceTransactionLimits for LocalBlockchain (default value: true), to disable the enforcement of protocol transaction limits (maximum events, maximum sequence events and enforcing certain layout of AccountUpdates depending on their authorization) #620
• Change the default send permissions (for sending MINA or tokens) that get set when deploying a zkApp, from signature() to proof() #648
• Functions for making assertions and comparisons have been renamed to their long form, instead of the initial abbreviation. Old function names have been deprecated #681

• Circuit.log() to easily log Fields and other provable types inside a method, with the same API as console.log() #484
• SmartContract.init() is a new method on the base SmartContract that will be called only during the first deploy (not if you re-deploy later to upgrade the contract) #543
  • Overriding init() is the new recommended way to add custom state initialization logic.
• transaction.toPretty() and accountUpdate.toPretty() for debugging transactions by printing only the pieces that differ from default account updates #428
• AccountUpdate.attachToTransaction() for explicitly adding an account update to the current transaction. This replaces some previous behaviour where an account update got attached implicitly #484
• SmartContract.requireSignature() and AccountUpdate.requireSignature() as a simpler, better-named replacement for .sign() #558

Changed

• BREAKING CHANGE: tx.send() is now asynchronous: old: send(): TransactionId new: send(): Promise<TransactionId> and tx.send() now directly waits for the network response, as opposed to tx.send().wait() #423
• Sending transactions to LocalBlockchain now involves
• Circuit.witness can now be called outside circuits, where it will just directly return the callback result #484
• The FeePayerSpec, which is used to specify properties of the transaction via Mina.transaction(), now has another optional parameter to specify the nonce manually. Mina.transaction({ feePayerKey: feePayer, nonce: 1 }, () => {}) #497

  • This works because the address / public key is now a variable in the method circuit; it used to be a constant
• BREAKING CHANGE: Move ZkProgram to Experimental.ZkProgram

0.5.4

Fixed

• Running o1js inside a web worker #378

0.5.3

Fixed

• Infinite loop when compiling in web version #379, by @maht0rz

0.5.2

Fixed

• Crash of the web version introduced in 0.5.0
• Issue with Experimental.MerkleWitness #368

0.5.1

Fixed

• fetchAccount #350

0.5.0

Added

• Recursive proofs. RFC: #89, PRs: #245 #250 #261
  • Enable smart contract methods to take previous proofs as arguments, and verify them in the circuit
  • Add ZkProgram, a new primitive which represents a collection of circuits that produce instances of the same proof. So, it's a more general version of SmartContract, without any of the Mina-related API.
    ZkProgram is suitable for rollup-type systems and offchain usage of Pickles + Kimchi.
• zkApp composability -- calling other zkApps from inside zkApps. RFC: #303, PRs: #285, #296, #294, #297
• Events support via SmartContract.events, this.emitEvent. RFC: #248, PR: #272
  • fetchEvents partially implemented for local testing: #323
• Payments: this.send({ to, amount }) as an easier API for sending Mina from smart contracts #325
  • Party.send() to transfer Mina between any accounts, for example, from users to smart contracts
• SmartContract.digest() to quickly compute a hash of the contract's circuit. This is used by the zkApp CLI to figure out whether compile should be re-run or a cached verification key can be used. #268
• Circuit.constraintSystem() for creating a circuit from a function, counting the number of constraints and computing a digest of the circuit #279
• this.account.isNew to assert that an account did not (or did) exist before the transaction MinaProtocol/mina#11524
• LocalBlockchain.setTimestamp and other setters for network state, to test network preconditions locally #329
• Experimental APIs are now collected under the Experimental import, or on this.experimental in a smart contract.
• Custom tokens (experimental), via this.token. RFC: #233, PR: #273,
• Actions / sequence events support (experimental), via Experimental.Reducer. RFC: #265, PR: #274
• Merkle tree implementation (experimental) via Experimental.MerkleTree #343

Changed

• BREAKING CHANGE: Make on-chain state consistent with other preconditions - throw an error when state is not explicitly constrained #267
• CircuitValue improvements #269, #306, #341
  • Added a base constructor, so overriding the constructor on classes that extend CircuitValue is now optional. When overriding, the base constructor can be called without arguments, as previously: super(). When not overriding, the expected arguments are all the @props on the class, in the order they were defined in: new MyCircuitValue(prop1, prop2).
  • CircuitValue.fromObject({ prop1, prop2 }) is a new, better-typed alternative for using the base constructor.
  • Fixed: the overridden constructor is now free to have any argument structure -- previously, arguments had to be the props in their declared order. I.e., the behaviour that's now used by the base constructor used to be forced on all constructors, which is no longer the case.
• Mina.transaction improvements
  • Support zkApp proofs when there are other account updates in the same transaction block #280
  • Support multiple independent zkApp proofs in one transaction block #296
• Add previously unimplemented preconditions, like this.network.timestamp #324 MinaProtocol/mina#11577
• Improve error messages thrown from Wasm, by making Rust's panic log to the JS console MinaProtocol/mina#11644
• Not user-facing, but essential: Smart contracts fully constrain the account updates they create, inside the circuit #278

Fixed

• Fix comparisons on UInt32 and UInt64 (UInt32.lt, UInt32.gt, etc) #174, #101. PR: #307

0.4.3

Added

• Implement the precondition RFC:
  • new fields this.account and this.network on both SmartContract and Party
  • this.<account|network>.<property>.get() to use on-chain values in a circuit, e.g. account balance or block height
  • this.<account|network>.<property>.{assertEqual, assertBetween, assertNothing}() to constrain what values to allow for these
• CircuitString, a snark-compatible string type with methods like .append() #155
• bool.assertTrue(), bool.assertFalse() as convenient aliases for existing functionality
• Ledger.verifyPartyProof which can check if a proof on a transaction is valid #208
• Memo field in APIs like Mina.transaction to attach arbitrary messages #244
• This changelog

Changed
