Deploy L1

In this guide, we'll walk through the process of deploying the L1 network using Kurtosis. This will also deploy the Taiko protocol on L1.

Prerequisites​

  • Git installed on your system
  • Terminal access
  • Basic command line knowledge

Installation Steps​

1. Install Kurtosis​

First, you'll need to install Kurtosis on your system. Follow the installation guide at:

Kurtosis Installation Guide ↗

2. Clone the Repository​

Clone the Preconfirm devnet package repository:

git clone https://github.com/NethermindEth/preconfirm-devnet-package.git

3. Switch to the Correct Branch​

Navigate to the cloned directory and checkout the surge/devnet branch:

cd preconfirm-devnet-package
git checkout surge/devnet

4. Deploy Using Kurtosis​

Run Kurtosis with the following command to deploy the L1 network:

kurtosis run --enclave core-rollup . --args-file network_params.yaml
tip

This command will also automatically deploy the Taiko protocol on L1 for you.

Verification​

After running the deployment command, Kurtosis will start setting up your L1 environment. You should see output in your terminal indicating the progress of the deployment.

What's Next?

Once your L1 deployment is complete, you can proceed with setting up your prover or configuring additional network parameters.

Troubleshooting​

If you encounter any issues during deployment:

  1. Ensure all prerequisites are properly installed
  2. Verify you're on the correct branch (surge/devnet)
  3. Check that the network_params.yaml file exists and is properly configured
  4. Make sure Kurtosis is running correctly on your system
