To get a deeper understanding of PBH, lets walk through the life cycle of a transaction. + + +## Creating a PBH transaction + +The contents of the PBH tx envelope simply consists of an [Ethereum typed transaction ](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2718) and optional semaphore proof ensuring that the sender is verified World ID user. In order to create a PBH transaction envelope, first generate an [Ethereum transaction](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/transactions/). + +Next, [create a World ID proof](), **setting the `signal` to the transaction hash of the tx you are verifying**, and set the `externalNullifier` to the following schema `vv-mmyyyy-nn` where: + +- **Version Prefix (vv)**: Indicates the version of the external nullifier schema This should be set to `0`. +- **Date (mmyyyy)**: Indicates the current month and year. +- **PBH Nonce (nn)**: A `u16` value used to rate-limit PBH transactions. + +Upon receiving the PBH transaction envelope, the World Chain Builder first validates the inner Ethereum transaction and then verifies the PBH payload. The builder enforces a transaction limit for each verified user that resets every month (eg. 50 txs per month), tracked by the PBH nonce specified in the `externalNullifier`. The user creating the PBH envelope must track which nonces they have used, however nonces can be specified in any order. For example, a user could send a PBH tx envelope with a PBH nonce of `16`, followed by a PBH nonce of `10` and so on. Additional transaction validation will be covered further in a later section. + +Below is a quick look at the `PbhTxEnvelope` in its entirety. + +``` +PbhTxEnvelope = { Tx, PbhPayload } +PbhPayload = { externalNullifier, nullifierHash, root, proof } +``` +- `Tx`: Any valid Ethereum typed transaction. +- `externalNullifier`: String identifier used to ensure the uniqueness and proper sequencing of PBH transactions formatted as: `vv-mmyyyy-nn`. + +- `nullifierHash`: Hash of the identity nullifier and the external nullifier; used to prevent double-signaling.
