WORM MINER Tutorial @EIP7503
Confirm the environment: Make sure you are rooted, on an Ubuntu system, and have 16GB of RAM.
Sepolia ETH: Make sure you have at least 1.0 Sepolia ETH in your account (via Obtain).
1. Install dependencies
Run the following command to install all necessary system dependencies:
bash
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install -y build-essential cmake libgmp-dev libsodium-dev nasm curl m4 git wget unzip nlohmann-json3-dev pkg-config libssl-dev
Note: pkg-config and libssl-dev have been included to avoid previous OpenSSL errors.
2. Install Rust
Install the Rust toolchain and activate the environment:
bash
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf | sh -s -- -y
source $HOME/.cargo/env
Verify:
bash
rustc --version
cargo --version
3. Clone the warehouse
Empty the old directory and re-clone worm-privacy/miner:
bash
cd ~
rm -rf proof-of-burn # delete the old directory to avoid confusion
git clone
cd miner
Verify:
bash
git remote -v # should show origin
4. Download the data file
Download the required parameter files for ZK-SNARK proofs:
bash
make download_params
Examine:
bash
ls -R | grep zkey # to confirm that the .zkey file was downloaded
5. Install the worm-miner
Compile and install worm-miner:
bash
cargo install --path .
Verify:
bash
worm-miner --version # should show worm-miner 0.1.2
6. Set up a private key
Store the private key with the environment variable (replace with yours):
bash
export PRIVATE_KEY="your private key"
Safe Cleanup:
bash
history -c
echo "" > ~/.bash_history
7. Verify the Sepolia ETH balance
Make sure you have at least 1.0 Sepolia ETH in your account:
bash
worm-miner info --network sepolia --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY
If the balance is insufficient, visit Get More ETH.
Record your Ethereum address (if needed): bashpip install web3python3 -c "from web3 import Web3; w3 = Web3(); print(w3.eth.account.from_key('$PRIVATE_KEY').address)"
8. Burn ETH and mint BETH
Burn 1 ETH, mint 0.999 BETH (0.001 ETH as a fee):
bash
worm-miner burn --network sepolia --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY --amount 1 --spend 0.999 --fee 0.001
Check the output:
The transaction hash (Tx-hash) and the generated file (input.json, witness.wtns) should be displayed.
Verify the file: bashls input.json witness.wtns
Verify BETH Balance:
bash
worm-miner info --network sepolia --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY
Expected BETH balance: 0.99900000000000000000.
9. Participate in mining
Stake 0.002 BETH each for the next 3 epochs:
bash
worm-miner participate --amount-per-epoch 0.002 --num-epochs 3 --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY --network sepolia
10. Claim WORM rewards
After the end of the epoch (30 minutes per epoch), claim your rewards:
bash
worm-miner claim --from-epoch 7 --network sepolia --num-epochs 1 --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY
Adjust --from-epoch to the current epoch of worm-miner info (e.g. try --from-epoch 8 if it's currently epoch 8).
BETH balance remains 0:
Check transaction status (replace with your transaction hash): bashcurl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getTransactionReceipt","params":["0xYOUR_TX_HASH"],"id":1}'
Make sure the Sepolia network connection is working: bashcurl ETH balance and rerun burn.
Parameter file download failed:
Check the make download_params log: bashmake download_params
Confirm the network: bashping
Command failed: Provides a full error log (e.g. output from worm-miner burn).
Check the worm-miner version: bashworm-miner --version
Safety tips
Private Key Protection: Continue to use $PRIVATE_KEY to avoid plaintext input.
Backup: Record the burn_key and transaction hash of worm-miner burn, and the output (id and burnKey) of worm-miner ls.
Testnet risks: Although it is a testnet, the private keys are still protected.
