mavryk-smart-rollup-installer

When originating a Smart Rollup, there is a maximum size of kernel supported. If your kernel is too large, you must instead use an installer.

To generate the installer kernel, you can use the smart-rollup-installer tool.

Prerequisites

You will need:

• at least rust-1.71.1 installed (you can check with cargo --version), with the wasm32-unknown-unknown toolchain.
• the WebAssemblyBinaryToolkit (wabt) installed. In particular, the wasm-strip executable.
• $HOME/.cargo/bin should be available on your $PATH.
• clang>=11 installed, and set as CC environment variable.

Installing smart-rollup-installer

Run the following to install:

cargo install mavryk-smart-rollup-installer

to get the latest development version, you can instead run cargo install mavryk-smart-rollup-installer --git https://gitlab.com/mavryk-network/mavryk-protocol.git

This will place the smart-rollup-installer executable at $HOME/.cargo/bin by default.

Creating the installer kernel

Assuming the kernel you'd like to run is called kernel.wasm, you can create an installer kernel for it:

smart-rollup-installer get-reveal-installer \
    --upgrade-to kernel.wasm \
    --output installer.hex \
    --preimages-dir <preimages-dir>

where <preimages-dir> is the directory to save the preimages of the kernel. The installer will request these through the reveal data channel.

And you can now originate the rollup by supplying installer.hex to the mavkit-client originate smart rollup command, setting KERNEL=$(cat installer.hex).

Running a rollup node

To be able to run a rollup node for the rollup, you will need to copy the contents of the <preimages-dir> to ${ROLLUP_NODE_DIR}/wasm_2_0_0 - where ${ROLLUP_NODE_DIR} is the data directory of your rollup node.

Once you've copied these across, you should then be able to run your rollup node, and the installer kernel will automatically upgrade.

For more information on originating the rollup & running a rollup node, see the rollup docs.

Using the mavkit-smart-rollup-wasm-debugger

You can also try this out by using the debugger, which may be easier than running a rollup node. To do so you need to use the .wasm extension on the --output argument:

smart-rollup-installer get-reveal-installer \
    --upgrade-to kernel.wasm \
    --output installer.wasm \
    --preimages-dir <preimages-dir>

You can then run the installer in the debugger, using the --preimage-dir argument to point to the preimages generated previously:

mavkit-smart-rollup-wasm-debugger --kernel installer.wasm --inputs inputs.json --preimage-dir <preimages-dir>
