[**Aligned**](https://x.com/alignedlayer) is a decentralized ZK proof verification layer

[**Raised**](https://cryptorank.io/ico/aligned-layer#funding-rounds): $22.6M from Hack VC, dao5, StarkWare and others

The project has recently [launched](https://mirror.xyz/0x7794D1c55568270A81D8Bf39e1bcE96BEaC10901/F99hEjkxcsWNefjnaEhoxCOPgHn0I7oJG3fflRjQUGU) testnet 3

### What to do:

• Download and install Aligned to send proofs in the testnet

    curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yetanotherco/aligned_layer/main/batcher/aligned/install_aligned.sh | bash
    

  
• Download an example SP1 proof file with it's ELF file using:

    curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yetanotherco/aligned_layer/main/batcher/aligned/get_proof_test_files.sh | bash
    

  
• Send the proof

    rm -rf ~/aligned_verification_data/ &&
    aligned submit \
    --proving_system SP1 \
    --proof ~/.aligned/test_files/sp1_fibonacci.proof \
    --vm_program ~/.aligned/test_files/sp1_fibonacci-elf \
    --aligned_verification_data_path ~/aligned_verification_data \
    --conn wss://batcher.alignedlayer.com
    

  
• You should get a response

    [2024-06-17T22:06:03Z INFO  aligned] Proof submitted to aligned. See the batch in the explorer:
        https://explorer.alignedlayer.com/batches/0x8ea98526e48f72d4b49ad39902fb320020d3cf02e6506c444300eb3619db4c13
    [2024-06-17T22:06:03Z INFO  aligned] Batch inclusion data written into /Users/maurofab/aligned_verification_data/8ea98526e48f72d4b49ad39902fb320020d3cf02e6506c444300eb3619db4c13_225.json

• You can use the link to the explorer to check the status of your transaction. Then after three blocks, you can check if it has been verified with:

    aligned verify-proof-onchain \
    --aligned-verification-data ~/aligned_verification_data/*.json \
    --rpc https://ethereum-holesky-rpc.publicnode.com \
    --chain holesky
    

  
• You should get this result:

    [2024-06-17T21:58:43Z INFO  aligned] Your proof was verified in Aligned and included in the batch!
    

  
• If the proof wasn't verified you should get this result:

    [2024-06-17T21:59:09Z INFO  aligned] Your proof was not included in the batch.
    

  
• If you want to verify your proof in your own contract, use a static call to the Aligned contract. You can use the following [Caller Contract](https://github.com/yetanotherco/aligned_layer/blob/main/contracts/src/core/VerifyBatchInclusionCaller.sol) as an example

• Tweet the link to your batch verification with #aligned and tag [@alignedlayer](https://x.com/alignedlayer)

• Go to Galxe page and complete the [tasks](https://app.galxe.com/quest/Aligned/GCZaytd3Pj)

• Answers: A, B, B, B, B, B, B
