Mach AVS (M2)

AltLayer Mach AVS is a fast finality layer for Ethereum rollups. In Mach AVS , operators will run verifier nodes for rollups, monitor the rollup for fraudulent behavior, and submit a fraudulent alert to Mach AVS. Fraudulent alert can then be confirmed via sufficient quorum or ZK proofs.

Use cases

  1. Fast finality services for Web3 application
  2. Circuit breaker for RPC nodes

Deployments

Audits

Components

Mach AVS consists of the following component:

  • Mach AVS service manager contract
  • Mach AVS aggregator (for signature aggregation version)
  • Mach AVS operator
  • Mach verifier

Mach AVS service manager contract

Mach AVS service manager contracts can be found in contracts folder

Dependencies

Mach AVS uses EigenLayer Middleware v0.1.2

Alert submission and verification

BLS Signature Aggregation Mode

The aggregator service will collect BLS signatures from operators in Mach AVS. Upon reaching sufficient threshold, the aggregator will confirmAlert) to submit the alert. Once verified, the alert will be confirmed.

ZK Proof Mode

In this mode, it does not need an aggregator to collect signatures. ZK Proof will replace the process of collecting BLS signature.

Operator can detect block or output root mismatch and submit an alert using alertBlockMismatch() and alertBlockOutputOracleMismatch() respectively. After the alert is submitted, operator will compute the corresponding ZK proof to prove the alert and submit the proof using submitProve().

ZK Proof generation can be either done using RISC0 or GPU.

Training wheels

Mach AVS includes operator allowlist which can be managed by contract owner.

Enable/Disable operator allowlist

  • Enable operator allowlist: enableAllowlist()
  • Diosable operator allowlist: disableAllowlist()

Operator allowlist management

  • Add operator to whitelist: addToAllowlist(address operator)
  • Remove operator from whitelist: removeFromAllowlist(address operator)

Mach AVS Aggregator (for BLS Signature Mode)

Aggregator sample configuration file can be found at config-files/aggregator.yaml.

./bin/mach-aggregator --config <PATH_TO_CONFIG> \
    --ecdsa-private-key <OWNER_PRIVATE> \
    --avs-deployment ./contracts/script/output/machavs_deploy_output.json

The --avs-deployment is use the machavs_deploy_output.json output by deploy script.

Mach AVS aggregator service can be found in aggregator

Mach AVS Operator (for BLS Signature Aggregation Mode)

Operator sample configuration file can be found at config-files/operator.yaml.

Operator can be run using the following command:

./bin/mach-operator-signer --config <PATH_TO_CONFIG>

Node operator client can be found in operator. For more information on how to run operator, check out our guide at here

Mach AVS Verifier

Verifier for ZK Proof mode

The ZK Proof mode verifier codebase is found at https://github.com/alt-research/alt-mach-verifier

Verifier for BLS Signature Aggregation mode

The verifier codebase is found at https://github.com/alt-research/mach

Deployment scripts for running within local devnet

Check out scripts

Build a devnet by docker-compose

For devnet, we can use docker-compose:

docker compose build
docker compose up

it will boot anvil as layer1, a aggregator and a operator for test.

Build and Run

If want to run Mach AVS by binary, can see the documentations:
