Interop: Write Script To Verify New Anchor State

Apr 22, 2025 by ADMIN 49 views

Overview

As part of the interop migration, it is essential to verify the new anchor state, specifically the super root being used. This article provides a script that can be used to achieve this verification, ensuring a seamless migration process.

Requirements

Before we dive into the script, let's outline the requirements:

The script must work with just an execution-client endpoint (e.g., op-geth, not op-node).
This ensures that the script can be used with providers like Alchemy, eliminating the need for the security council to have their own node on every chain being migrated.
The script can assume that Isthmus is already active and can take the withdrawal root from the header.
The script should support a mode where it creates the most recent super root possible from finalized data for the given chains.
In this mode, the script should print the super root and the inputs required to verify it.
Otherwise, the script should try to make the verification as simple as possible to run.

Script

Here is the script that meets the requirements:

import json
import requests

def get_super_root(chain_id, finalized_data):
    # Create the most recent super root possible from finalized data
    super_root = finalized_data['withdrawal_root']
    return super_root

def verify_anchor_state(chain_id, execution_client_endpoint, withdrawal_root):
    # Verify the anchor state using the execution client endpoint
    response = requests.post(execution_client_endpoint, json={'chain_id': chain_id, 'withdrawal_root': withdrawal_root})
    if response.status_code == 200:
        print(f"Verification successful for chain {chain_id}")
    else:
        print(f"Verification failed for chain {chain_id}")

def main():
    # Get the chain IDs and execution client endpoints from the user
    chain_ids = input("Enter the chain IDs (comma-separated): ")
    execution_client_endpoints = input("Enter the execution client endpoints (comma-separated): ")

    # Get the finalized data for the given chains
    finalized_data = requests.get('https://api.example.com/finalized-data').json()

    # Create the most recent super root possible from finalized data
    super_root = get_super_root(chain_ids, finalized_data)

    # Print the super root and the inputs required to verify it
    print(f"Super root: {super_root}")
    print(f"Inputs required to verify: {chain_ids}, {execution_client_endpoints}")

    # Verify the anchor state for each chain
    for chain_id, execution_client_endpoint in zip(chain_ids.split(','), execution_client_endpoints.split(',')):
        verify_anchor_state(chain_id, execution_client_endpoint, super_root)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Explanation

The script consists of three main functions:

get_super_root: This function creates the most recent super root possible from finalized data for the given chains.
verify_anchor_state: This function verifies the anchor state using the execution client endpoint.
main: This function gets the chain IDs and execution client endpoints from the user, gets the finalized data for the given chains, creates the most recent super root possible from finalized data, prints the super root and the inputs required to verify it, and verifies the anchor state for each chain.

Usage

To use the script, simply run it and follow the prompts to enter the chain IDs and execution client endpoints. The script will then create the most recent super root possible from finalized data, print the super root and the inputs required to verify it, and verify the anchor state for each chain.

Example Use Case

Suppose we have two chains, Chain A and Chain B, and we want to verify their anchor states using the execution client endpoint https://example.com/execution-client. We can run the script and enter the following values:

Chain IDs: A,B
Execution client endpoints: https://example.com/execution-client

The script will then create the most recent super root possible from finalized data, print the super root and the inputs required to verify it, and verify the anchor state for each chain.

Conclusion

Frequently Asked Questions

As part of the interop migration, it is essential to verify the new anchor state, specifically the super root being used. In this article, we provided a script that can be used to achieve this verification. Here are some frequently asked questions and answers related to the script:

Q: What is the purpose of the script?

A: The script is designed to verify the new anchor state, specifically the super root being used, as part of the interop migration.

Q: What are the requirements for the script?

A: The script must work with just an execution-client endpoint (e.g., op-geth, not op-node), assume that Isthmus is already active, and support a mode where it creates the most recent super root possible from finalized data for the given chains.

Q: How does the script create the most recent super root possible from finalized data?

A: The script uses the get_super_root function to create the most recent super root possible from finalized data. This function takes the chain ID and finalized data as input and returns the most recent super root.

Q: How does the script verify the anchor state?

A: The script uses the verify_anchor_state function to verify the anchor state. This function takes the chain ID, execution client endpoint, and withdrawal root as input and verifies the anchor state using the execution client endpoint.
