Midnight.js API Reference v3.1.0


Midnight.js API Reference / @midnight-ntwrk/midnight-js-contracts / submitRemoveVerifierKeyTx

Function: submitRemoveVerifierKeyTx()

submitRemoveVerifierKeyTx<C>(providers, compiledContract, contractAddress, circuitId): Promise<FinalizedTxData>

Constructs and submits a transaction that removes the current verifier key stored on the blockchain for the given circuit ID at the given contract address.

Transaction Execution Phases

Midnight transactions execute in two phases:

  1. Guaranteed phase: If failure occurs, the transaction is NOT included in the blockchain
  2. Fallible phase: If failure occurs, the transaction IS recorded on-chain as a partial success

Failure Behavior

Guaranteed Phase Failure:

  • Transaction is rejected and not included in the blockchain
  • RemoveVerifierKeyTxFailedError is thrown with transaction data
  • Verifier key remains on the contract (unchanged)
  • No on-chain record of the failed transaction

Fallible Phase Failure:

  • Transaction is recorded on-chain with non-SucceedEntirely status
  • RemoveVerifierKeyTxFailedError is thrown with transaction data
  • Verifier key may be partially removed but contract state is inconsistent
  • Transaction appears in blockchain history as partial success

Type Parameters

C

C extends Any

Parameters

providers

ContractProviders

The providers to use to manage the transaction lifecycle.

compiledContract

CompiledContract<C, any>

The compiled contract for which the maintenance authority should be updated.

contractAddress

string

The address of the contract containing the circuit for which the verifier key should be removed.

circuitId

ImpureCircuitId<C>

The circuit for which the verifier key should be removed.

Returns

Promise<FinalizedTxData>

A promise that resolves with the finalized transaction data, or rejects if an error occurs along the way.

Throws

When transaction fails in either guaranteed or fallible phase. The error contains the finalized transaction data for debugging.

TODO: We'll likely want to modify ZKConfigProvider provider so that the verifier keys are automatically rotated in this function. This likely involves storing key versions along with keys in ZKConfigProvider. By default, artifacts for the latest version would be fetched to build transactions.
