Types

Blake2b_224

A blake2b-224 hash algorithm.

Typically used for:

Blake2b_256

A blake2b-256 hash algorithm.

Typically used for:

DataHash

Alias

DataHash = Hash<Blake2b_256, Data>

Hash<alg, a>

A Hash is nothing more than a ByteArray, but it carries extra information for readability.

On-chain, any hash digest value is represented as a plain ‘ByteArray’. Though in practice, hashes come from different sources and have different semantics.

Hence, while this type-alias doesn’t provide any strong type-guarantees, it helps writing functions signatures with more meaningful types than mere ‘ByteArray’.

Compare for example:

pub type Credential {
  VerificationKey(ByteArray)
  Script(ByteArray)
}

with

pub type Credential {
  VerificationKey(Hash<Blake2b_224, VerificationKey>)
  Script(Hash<Blake2b_224, Script>)
}

Both are strictly equivalent, but the second reads much better.

Alias

Hash<alg, a> = ByteArray

Keccak_256

A Keccak-256 hash algorithm.

Script

Alias

Script = ByteArray

ScriptHash

Alias

ScriptHash = Hash<Blake2b_224, Script>

Sha2_256

A SHA2-256 hash algorithm.

Sha3_256

A SHA3-256 hash algorithm.

Signature

Alias

Signature = ByteArray

VerificationKey

Alias

VerificationKey = ByteArray

VerificationKeyHash

Alias

VerificationKeyHash = Hash<Blake2b_224, VerificationKey>

Verifying signatures

verify_ecdsa_signature(
  key: VerificationKey,
  msg: ByteArray,
  sig: Signature,
) -> Bool

Verify an ECDCA signature (over secp256k1) using the given verification key. Returns True when the signature is valid.

  key: VerificationKey,
  msg: ByteArray,
  sig: Signature,
) -> Bool

Verify an Ed25519 signature using the given verification key. Returns True when the signature is valid.

verify_schnorr_signature(
  key: VerificationKey,
  msg: ByteArray,
  sig: Signature,
) -> Bool

Verify a Schnorr signature (over secp256k1) using the given verification key. Returns True when the signature is valid.
