PDPAuthHelper

Defined in: packages/synapse-sdk/src/pdp/auth.ts:73

Helper class for creating EIP-712 typed signatures for PDP operations

This class provides methods to create cryptographic signatures required for authenticating PDP (Proof of Data Possession) operations with service providers. All signatures are EIP-712 compatible for improved security and UX.

Can be used standalone or through the Synapse SDK.

Example

// Direct instantiation with ethers signer
import { PDPAuthHelper } from '@filoz/synapse-sdk'
import { ethers } from 'ethers'

const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(privateKey, provider)
const auth = new PDPAuthHelper(contractAddress, wallet, BigInt(chainId))

// Or get from Synapse instance (convenience method)
const synapse = await Synapse.create({ privateKey, rpcURL })
const auth = synapse.getPDPAuthHelper()

// Sign operations for PDP service authentication
const createSig = await auth.signCreateDataSet(0, providerAddress, false)
const addPiecesSig = await auth.signAddPieces(0, 1, pieceDataArray)

serviceContractAddress	string
signer	Signer
chainId	bigint

Returns

signAddPieces()

signAddPieces(
   clientDataSetId,
   firstPieceId,
   pieceDataArray,
metadata): Promise<AuthSignature>;

Defined in: packages/synapse-sdk/src/pdp/auth.ts:317

Create signature for adding pieces to a data set

This signature authorizes a service provider to add new data pieces to an existing data set. Each piece represents aggregated data that will be proven using PDP challenges.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default value	Description
clientDataSetId	number | bigint	undefined	Client’s dataset ID (same as used in createDataSet)
firstPieceId	number | bigint	undefined	ID of the first piece being added (sequential numbering)
pieceDataArray	| string[] | PieceLink[]	undefined	Array of piece data containing PieceCID CIDs and raw sizes
metadata	MetadataEntry[][]	[]	-

Returns

Promise<AuthSignature>

Promise resolving to authentication signature for adding pieces

Example

const auth = new PDPAuthHelper(contractAddress, signer, chainId)
const pieceData = [{
  cid: 'bafkzcibc...', // PieceCID of aggregated data
  rawSize: Number(SIZE_CONSTANTS.MiB)     // Raw size in bytes before padding
}]
const signature = await auth.signAddPieces(
  0,           // Same dataset ID as data set creation
  1,           // First piece has ID 1 (0 reserved)
  pieceData    // Array of pieces to add
)

signCreateDataSet()

signCreateDataSet(
   clientDataSetId,
   payee,
metadata): Promise<AuthSignature>;

Defined in: packages/synapse-sdk/src/pdp/auth.ts:239

Create signature for data set creation

This signature authorizes a service provider to create a new data set on behalf of the client. The signature includes the client’s dataset ID, the service provider’s payment address, and CDN preference.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default value	Description
clientDataSetId	number | bigint	undefined	Unique dataset ID for the client (typically starts at 0 and increments)
payee	string	undefined	Service provider’s address that will receive payments
metadata	MetadataEntry[]	[]	-

Returns

Promise<AuthSignature>

Promise resolving to authentication signature for data set creation

Example

const auth = new PDPAuthHelper(contractAddress, signer, chainId)
const signature = await auth.signCreateDataSet(
  0,                              // First dataset for this client
  '0x1234...abcd',               // Service provider address
  true                           // Enable CDN service
)

---

signDeleteDataSet()

signDeleteDataSet(clientDataSetId): Promise<AuthSignature>;

Defined in: packages/synapse-sdk/src/pdp/auth.ts:503

Create signature for data set deletion

This signature authorizes complete deletion of a data set and all its associated data. This action is irreversible and will terminate the storage service for this dataset.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
clientDataSetId	number | bigint	Client’s dataset ID to delete

Returns

Promise<AuthSignature>

Promise resolving to authentication signature for data set deletion

Example

const auth = new PDPAuthHelper(contractAddress, signer, chainId)
const signature = await auth.signDeleteDataSet(
  0  // Dataset ID to delete
)

---

signSchedulePieceRemovals()

signSchedulePieceRemovals(clientDataSetId, pieceIds): Promise<AuthSignature>;

Defined in: packages/synapse-sdk/src/pdp/auth.ts:428

Create signature for scheduling piece removals

This signature authorizes a service provider to schedule specific pieces for removal from the data set. Pieces are typically removed after the next successful proof submission.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
clientDataSetId	number | bigint	Client’s dataset ID
pieceIds	(number | bigint)[]	Array of piece IDs to schedule for removal

Returns

Promise<AuthSignature>

Promise resolving to authentication signature for scheduling removals

Example

const auth = new PDPAuthHelper(contractAddress, signer, chainId)
const signature = await auth.signSchedulePieceRemovals(
  0,           // Dataset ID
  [1, 2, 3]    // Piece IDs to remove
)
