# Reputation Proof
* There are two types of reputation proof in Unirep:
1. ***Reputation proof***: how much reputation that a user has, which includes reputation from all attesters and airdropped karma.
2. ***Reputation from attester proof:*** how much reputation from a specified attester, which is indicated by attester id
* Both of the reputation proofs are generated by user with a semaphore identity and the proof can be verified by everyone at the Unirep smart contract.
### 1. Reputation proof
* This proof will be generated with a post, a comment, an upvote and a downvote action. The proof is used to ensure that a user has enough reputation to make the action.
* There is another option that a user can choose to prove how much reputation he has and it exceeds the required reputation for the action.
* See [User Interaction Functions](/unirep-social/cli/user-interaction-functions.md)
* After user made an action, it will create a proof with `Unirep.reputationProof`prefix. Other users can verify this proof at the Unirep smart contract.
### `verifyReputationProof`
```
npx ts-node cli/index.ts verifyReputationProof
[-h]
[-e ETH_PROVIDER]
[-ep EPOCH]
-epk EPOCH_KEY
-pf PROOF
-th TRANSACTION_HASH
[-mr MIN_REP]
[-b START_BLOCK]
-x CONTRACT
```
* This command will help other users with a proof with `Unirep.reputationProof`prefix to call the Unirep smart contract to verify the proof.
* The input should match the claim that the prover provides.
* Actions includes: `publishPost`, `leaveComment`, and `vote`
### Options
```
-e ETH_PROVIDER, --eth-provider ETH_PROVIDER
A connection string to an Ethereum provider. Default: http://localhost:8545
-ep EPOCH, --epoch EPOCH
The latest epoch user transitioned to. Default: current epoch
-epk EPOCH_KEY, --epoch-key EPOCH_KEY
The user's epoch key (in hex representation)
-pf PROOF, --proof PROOF
The snark proof of the user's epoch key and reputation
-th TRANSACTION_HASH, --transaction-hash TRANSACTION_HASH
The transaction hash of where user submit the reputation nullifiers
-mr MIN_REP, --min-rep MIN_REP
The minimum reputation score the user has
-b START_BLOCK, --start-block START_BLOCK
The block the Unirep contract is deployed. Default: 0
-x CONTRACT, --contract CONTRACT
The Unirep Social contract address
```

### 2. Reputation proof from attester
### `genReputationProofFromAttester`
```
npx ts-node cli/index.ts genReputationProofFromAttester
[-h]
[-e ETH_PROVIDER]
-id IDENTITY
-a ATTESTER_ID
[-mp MIN_POS_REP]
[-mn MAX_NEG_REP]
[-md MIN_REP_DIFF]
[-gp GRAFFITI_PREIMAGE]
[-b START_BLOCK]
-x CONTRACT
[-db]
```
* The prover (the user with a semaphore identity) can choose to prove how much reputation he receives from a certain attester id, including:
* *minimum positive reputation* received from the attester since the first epoch
* *maximum* *negative reputation* received from the attester since the first epoch
* *minimum* *difference between positive and negative reputation* from the attester since the first epoch
* what is the graffiti pre-image of the reputation, where the graffiti is optional to be attached from the attester
* If the reputation matches the user's claim, the Circom circuit will generate a valid proof.
* A string with `Unirep.reputationProofFromAttester` prefix is the proof of the reputation claim.
