# Proofing

Some of the Flex Liquidity Pool [takers](/flex-liquidity-pools/takers.md) rely on Flex Proof protocol. The proof protocol provides a way to verify an event occurrence on other chain.

The fastest way to prove an event for the pool protocol is using *signature* proof variant. This proof can be issued by Flex Node, which is hosted at [`https://node.swaps.io`](https://node.swaps.io/) . It supports the following HTTP API:

* #### Get Chain Proof Info
  * `GET /api/v0/proof/chain/<chain>` , where:
  * `<chain>` *(path param)* - chain ID to get proof info of
* #### Get Event Proof
  * `GET /api/v0/proof?chain=<chain>&hash=<hash>&log=<log>` , where:
  * `<chain>` *(query param)* - chain ID of the event
  * `<hash>` *(query param)* - hash of the event transaction
  * `<log>` *(query param)* - log index in the transaction

The result `proof` value can then be passed as `bytes` to a taker that requires it - for example, `giveProof` param of [`TransferTaker`](https://github.com/swaps-io/flex-pool-contracts/blob/f01e565a2f2e6f107c20d76cd2644a055ea7acb1/contracts/taker/transfer/TransferTaker.sol#L53).
