EIP-1186: add `eth_getProof` RPC-Method #9001

simon-jentzsch · 2018-06-28T11:30:00Z

Implementation for the EIP-1186

Ethereum uses MerkleTrees to store the state of accounts and their storage. This allows verification of each value by simply creating a MerkleProof. But currently the eth-Module does not give you access to these proofs. This EIP suggests a additional RPC-Method, which creates MerkleProofs for Accounts and Storage-Values.

Combined with a stateRoot (from the blockheader) it enables offline verification of any account or storage-value. This allows especially IOT-Devices or even mobile apps which are not able to run a light client to verify responses from a untrusted source.

Hey, please sign our CLA.

This EIP suggests an additional RPC-Method, which creates MerkleProofs for Accounts and Storage-Values.

Which EIP are you referring to? Is this officially part of the eth namespace?

simon-jentzsch · 2018-06-28T14:59:10Z

Thanks for the responses.
This referrs to the ethereum/EIPs#1186 we just started.
I'll check the CLA und of course I'll also fix the changes we made for our docker-script.

5chdn · 2018-06-28T15:20:04Z

Ah, gotcha. I'll mark this WIP.

5chdn · 2018-07-02T12:27:06Z

Putting this on ice since you have chosen the eth_ namespace. This does not allow us to adapt this until the EIP is either accepted or a majority of clients implement it. 🐧

simon-jentzsch · 2018-07-08T11:10:44Z

Thanks, Yes, I also considered using a different namespace. In the end I believe that offering the proof as a rpc-function should be part of the standard-module. That's why I choose the eth_ namespace, on the other hand it would be easier to have this function in one of the next releases, if this is a part of the parity -module. But in the long run I want all clients to support this. But I'm open for discussion. And until we get this feature in, we are using the forked-version.

5chdn · 2018-07-09T06:59:28Z

Ok, let me know how you want to proceed.

sorpaas · 2018-07-19T05:09:25Z

@simon-jentzsch We can use the parity_ namespace first and then move it to eth_ namespace once it's standardized. This is how eth_chainId/parity_chainId was dealt with (ethereum/EIPs#695).

simon-jentzsch · 2018-09-21T07:58:57Z

@sorpaas Yes, this would be an option to use the parity-namespace, but since it is also important that geth will implement it as well, I rather have it as a real standard. For now we can live with using our fork of parity. I am also maintaining Docker-Images https://hub.docker.com/r/slockit/parity-in3/tags/ which we are using. But I just hope the EIP will go through soon. ;-)

simon-jentzsch · 2018-09-21T12:20:34Z

@5chdn I created the PR for the EIP and hope that it will go through. I also merged the changes for parity 2.x and created a Docker-Container on dockerhub. So I think it would be good,if we can repopen this PR.

simon-jentzsch · 2018-10-17T22:15:50Z

@5chdn Would be good to reopen this pull request, since the EIP is now merged and a offical Draft: https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1186

niklasad1

Looks good now, however still some formatting issues on some struct fields, should be have the format field: val

Also, would be good to have tests for this too!

Tbaut · 2018-11-08T14:49:14Z

Could you please update the doc in src/interfaces/eth.js interfaces https://github.com/parity-js/jsonrpc

simon-jentzsch · 2018-11-08T15:59:20Z

@niklasad1 I fixed the formatting of the structs and also added tests.
@Tbaut Added eth_getProof at the doc. ( See PR parity-js/jsonrpc#14 )

ordian

Looks good, thank you. I guess merging this with eth_ namespace is fine, since EIP-1186 was accepted and implemented in geth as well (cc @tomusdrw).

simon-jentzsch · 2018-11-10T08:53:49Z

Thanks, I'm looking forward to see this merged!

tomusdrw · 2018-11-17T23:50:13Z

IMHO this should be enabled only with --jsonrpc-experimental, see #9928

simon-jentzsch · 2018-11-19T14:35:35Z

tests are running again
implemented the check for the experimental RPCs flag

tomusdrw

Looks good. Left couple of minor comments that would be nice to address (but not super required).

This RPC seems a bit heavy though, I'm a bit concerned with performance here (imagine fetching a proof of the entire cryptokitties storage).

could be a .map instead of match

ok, changed it.

Would be good to have a test already when experimental_rpcs are disabled.

simon-jentzsch · 2018-11-19T16:45:10Z

Yes, getting a lot of proof could be heavy, but since you can't get the entire storage without specifying all available storage keys, it is only heavy, if you pass a long list of keys.
So it may make sense for infura to limit the number of storage values, but if you are running your own node and want to get all cryptokitties, then you should know what you are doing. ( and how to calculate all storage keys )

Or to put it with gavin's words:

https://youtu.be/26ucTSSaqog?t=7448

simon-jentzsch · 2018-11-19T17:50:18Z

But concerning the performance, I think there is room for optimization here (which can be done later ).

after getting the account-proof we already have the BasicAccount-Object and so the storage_root.

But when calling the prove_storage (just like the lightclient), this function always fetches the Account-Object again before finding the storage key. And this happens for each storage key.
So it would be more efficient to get Account only once.
