Deploy an OP Stack devnet

This guide will show you how to run your own OP Stack devnet.

Dependency setup

Environment setup and Golang installation

Install dependencies here.

Clone repository

Next, clone the repo:

cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/celestiaorg/optimism
cd optimism
git checkout v0.1.0-OP_v1.0.6-CN_v0.10.0

If you are using Arabica and deploying using the testnet deployment guide use the following version:

cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/celestiaorg/optimism
cd optimism
git checkout v0.1.1-OP_v1.0.6-CN_v0.11.0-rc1

asdf

Install asdf to allow us to intall a specific version of node easily:

cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf.git ~/.asdf --branch v0.11.2
echo '. "$HOME/.asdf/asdf.sh"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo '. "$HOME/.asdf/completions/asdf.bash"' >> ~/.bashrc

Set the path:

export PATH=$PATH:~/.asdf/bin/

Check that it was installed:

asdf

Node.js

Install nodejs 16.16.0:

asdf plugin add nodejs
asdf install nodejs 16.16.0
asdf local nodejs 16.16.0
source ~/.bashrc

Install NPM:

apt install npm

Update NPM to v9.6.5:

npm install -g [email protected]

Foundry

Download the Foundry script execute it to set up environment:

curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz/ | bash

Set path:

source /root/.bashrc

Run foundryup to install Foundry (forge, cast, anvil, chisel):

foundryup

Yarn

Install yarn:

npm install -g yarn

Depending on the version installed, you may need to update your version of NPM.

Docker compose

Install docker-compose:

apt install docker-compose

gcc & libusb

apt install gcc libusb-1.0-0-dev 

Build devnet

Build TypeScript definitions for TS dependencies:

cd $HOME
cd optimism
make build-ts

Set environment variables to start network:

export SEQUENCER_BATCH_INBOX_ADDRESS=0xff00000000000000000000000000000000000000
export L2OO_ADDRESS=0x70997970C51812dc3A010C7d01b50e0d17dc79C8

Start devnet

Start the network by running:

make devnet-up 

This starts up the layer 1 (ETH), layer 2 (op-geth), data availability layer (Celestia), the sequencer (op-node), batch submitter (op-batcher), state commitment service (op-proposer).

View the logs of the devnet

If you'd like to view the logs of the devnet, run the following command from the root of the Optimism directory:

make devnet-logs
optional

lazydocker

You can install lazydocker to view all of the components of your stack in one GUI by running:

asdf plugin add lazydocker https://github.com/comdotlinux/asdf-lazydocker.git
asdf list all lazydocker
asdf install lazydocker 0.12
asdf global lazydocker 0.12

And run the command:

lazydocker

If you do this, you can skip the viewing containers section and find a transaction.

Stop devnet

If you'd like to start the network over, use the following command to safely shut down all of the containers:

make devnet-down

Then clean out the old config:

make devnet-clean

Viewing containers

To view the containers running, send:

docker ps

Find the container ID of the ops-bedrock_op-batcher_1 and run the following to follow the logs:

docker logs -f <container-id>

In a new terminal, find the container ID of the ghcr.io/celestiaorg/local-celestia-devnet:main and run the following to follow the logs:

docker logs -f <container-id>

You can do the same for other containers as you explore the stack.

Find a transaction

Now, we'll check for a recent transaction with:

cast block latest --rpc-url localhost:8545

Output of a block that contains a transaction will look like this:

]

And copy the transaction hash from transactions: [<transaction-hash] and set it as a variable:

export TX_HASH=0xb8869dfecf9a5a0e26df6b13e64071b859f2cc0587b97cb4387abf9ddb2ff9a0

Read the transaction call data

Now read the transaction call data:

cast tx $TX_HASH --rpc-url localhost:8545

The output will look similar to below:

blockHash            0xce5691878b61e3b5bbae66317512365ef6bb1f597b4dfc11e585abf470cdf4dd

Now set the input as the INPUT variable, removing the 0x from the beginning:

export INPUT=0000000000000c2a00000000
tip

Remember to remove the 0x!

Find the data on Celestia

Now navigate to optimism/op-celestia and run:

go run main.go $INPUT

Your result will look similar to the below!

celestia block height: 3114; tx index: 0
