CONTRIBUTING.md
contains guidelines for modifying or working with the code in the Superchain Registry, including the validation checks and exported modules.
For guidelines on how to add a chain to the Registry, see the documentation for adding a new chain.
The Superchain Registry repository contains:
- raw "per-chain" config data in
toml
andjson/json.gz
files arranged in a semantically meaningful directory structure - superchain-wide config data
- a Go workspace with
- a
superchain
module - a
validation
module - an
add-chain
module - The modules are tracked by a top level
go.work
file. The associatedgo.work.sum
file is gitignored and not important to typical workflows, which should mirror those of the CI configuration.
- a
- Automatically generated summary
chainList.json
andchainList.toml
files.
A superchain target defines a set of layer 2 chains which share a SuperchainConfig
and ProtocolVersions
contract deployment on layer 1. It is usually named after the layer 1 chain, possibly with an extra identifier to distinguish devnets.
Note Example:
sepolia
andsepolia-dev-0
are distinct superchain targets, although they are on the same layer 1 chain.
A new Superchain Target can be added by creating a new superchain config directory,
with a superchain.yaml
config file.
Note This is an infrequent operation and unnecessary if you are just looking to add a chain to an existing superchain.
Here's an example:
cd superchain-registry
export SUPERCHAIN_TARGET=goerli-dev-0
mkdir superchain/configs/$SUPERCHAIN_TARGET
cat > superchain/configs/$SUPERCHAIN_TARGET/superchain.yaml << EOF
name: Goerli Dev 0
l1:
chain_id: 5
public_rpc: https://ethereum-goerli-rpc.allthatnode.com
explorer: https://goerli.etherscan.io
protocol_versions_addr: null # todo
superchain_config_addr: null # todo
EOF
Superchain-wide configuration, like the ProtocolVersions
contract address, should be configured here when available.
Per chain and supechain-wide configs and extra data are embedded into the superchain
go module, which can be imported like so:
go get github.com/ethereum-optimism/superchain-registry/superchain@latest
The configs are consumed by downstream OP Stack software, i.e. op-geth
and op-node
.
A second module exists in this repo whose purpose is to validate the config exported by the superchain
module. It is a separate module to avoid import cycles and polluting downstream dependencies with things like go-ethereum
(which is used in the validation tests).
This module contains the CLI tool for generating superchain
compliant configs and extra data to the registry.
The security-configs_test.go
test is used in CI to perform
security checks of OP Chains registered in the superchain
directory. At high level, it performs checks to ensure privileges are
properly granted to the right addresses. More specifically, it checks
the following privilege grants and role designations:
- Generic privileges:
- Proxy admins. For example,
L1ERC721BridgeProxy
andOptimismMintableERC20FactoryProxy
specify the proxy admin addresses who can change their implementations. - Address managers. For example,
ProxyAdmin
specifies the address manager it trusts to look up certain addresses by name. - Contract owners. For example, many
Ownable
contracts use this role to specify the message senders allowed to make privileged calls.
- Proxy admins. For example,
- Optimism privileged cross-contract calls:
- Trusted messengers. For example,
L1ERC721BridgeProxy
andL1StandardBridgeProxy
specify the cross domain messenger address they trust with cross domain message sender information. - Trusted bridges. For example,
OptimismMintableERC20FactoryProxy
specifies the L1 standard bridge it trusts to mint and burn tokens. - Trusted portal. For example,
L1CrossDomainMessengerProxy
specifies the portal it trusts to deposit transactions and get L2 senders. - Trusted oracles. For example,
OptimismPortalProxy
specifies the L2 oracle they trust with the L2 state root information.- After the Fault Proofs upgrade, the
OptimismPortalProxy
specifies theDisputeGameFactory
they trust rather than the legacyL2OutputOracle
contract.
- After the Fault Proofs upgrade, the
- Trusted system config. For example,
OptimismPortalProxy
specifies the system config they trust to get resource config from. TODO(issues/37): add checks for theResourceMetering
contract.
- Trusted messengers. For example,
- Optimism privileged operational roles:
- Guardians. This is the role that can pause withdrawals in the
Optimism protocol.
- After the Fault Proofs upgrade, the
Guardian
can also blacklist dispute games and change the respected game type in theOptimismPortal
.
- After the Fault Proofs upgrade, the
- Challengers. This is the role that can delete
L2OutputOracleProxy
's output roots in the Optimism protocol- After the Fault Proofs upgrade, the
CHALLENGER
is a permissionless role in theFaultDisputeGame
. However, in thePermissionedDisputeGame
, theCHALLENGER
role is the only party allowed to dispute output proposals created by thePROPOSER
role.
- After the Fault Proofs upgrade, the
- Guardians. This is the role that can pause withdrawals in the
Optimism protocol.
