Typescript wrapper for supranational/blst native bindings, a highly performant BLS12-381 signature library.

Usage

yarn add @chainsafe/blst

This library comes with pre-compiled bindings for most platforms. You can check current support in releases. If your platform is not supported, bindings will be compiled from source as a best effort with node-gyp.

import {SecretKey, verify} from "@chainsafe/blst";

const msg = Buffer.from("sample-msg");
const sk = SecretKey.fromKeygen(Buffer.alloc(32, 1));
const pk = sk.toPublicKey();
const sig = sk.sign(msg);

console.log(verify(msg, pk, sig)); // true

This library exposes two types of classes for public keys and signatures: PublicKey & AggregatePublicKey, Signature & AggregateSignature

  • PublicKey: Contains an affine point (x,y). It's the default representation of the point and what you need to serialize to and deserialize from.
  • AggregatePublicKey: Contains a jacobian point (x,y,z). It's optimal to perform aggregation operations.

Spec versioning

This library has a hardcoded configuration compatible with Eth2.0 spec:

Setting value
PK_IN G1
HASH_OR_ENCODE true
DST BLS_SIG_BLS12381G2_XMD:SHA-256_SSWU_RO_POP_
RAND_BITS 64
