Sending Queries with the Axiom CLI

To quickly test your Axiom integration against your deployed smart contract, you can use the Axiom CLI to construct and send an Axiom query on-chain. First, make sure you have the Axiom Typescript SDK installed.

npm install @axiom-crypto/client

Compile and Prove with Axiom CLI​

Once you have written your Axiom client circuit, follow the instructions for circuit compilation and proving.

npx axiom circuit compile app/axiom/example.circuit.ts --provider $PROVIDER_URI_SEPOLIA
npx axiom circuit prove app/axiom/data/compiled.json app/axiom/data/inputs.json --provider $PROVIDER_URI_SEPOLIA

This will write JSON outputs to the file app/axiom/data/proven.json which can be used to generate an Axiom query. Additional CLI options can be found in the Axiom CLI reference.

info

Axiom CLI will look for inputs.json, compiled.json, and proven.json in a default location of app/axiom/data. If those files are located elsewhere, you will need to supply --inputs, --compiled, and --proven flags, respectively.

Generate a Query with Axiom CLI​

Now that you've generated a proof for your client circuit, you can send a query to Axiom on-chain to authenticate the on-chain data inputs. The first step is to generate the query inputs using the Axiom CLI.

npx axiom circuit query-params <callback addr> --sourceChainId 11155111 --refundAddress <your wallet addr> --provider $PROVIDER_URI_SEPOLIA

This will write JSON outputs to the file query.json which contains input parameters formatted to generate an Axiom query ready to be sent on-chain as well as a suggested payment value auto-calculated based on the estimated fulfillment gas cost.

Send the Axiom Query On-chain​

You can now send a transaction to AxiomV2Query using your favorite method. Here we'll use cast send. We will send to the AxiomV2QueryMock address 0x83c8c0B395850bA55c830451Cfaca4F2A667a983 from Contract Addresses.

cast send --rpc-url $PROVIDER_URI_SEPOLIA --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY_SEPOLIA --value <payment value> 0x83c8c0B395850bA55c830451Cfaca4F2A667a983 <sendQueryCalldata>

The sendQueryCalldata is the value of the calldata field from the json output file sendQuery.json that is generated from the npx axiom circuit query-params command.

Using Different Chains​

We currently support Ethereum Mainnet, Sepolia, and Base Sepolia. You can simply modify the sourceChainId and provider CLI arguments to the appropriate values for the chain you want to use. Ensure that the private-key that you pass in is also funded on the chain that you are using and that the <callback addr> is a valid contract that will accept an Axiom callback.
