Due to time constraints, front-end support (UI to deploy network on target infra) will not be available until the testnet release. Instead, a Tree Diagram (SDK commands and inputs) will be provided as a substitute for user interaction and chain visualization during the testnet phase.
Kevin will deploy a lightweight Layer 2 (L2) chain to distribute grants to Tokamak Network team members. The chain should also enable him to deploy and test Dapps such as a zk-Dex. It must be cost-efficient, simple to deploy, and operable independently, with full documentation and support through the TRH interface.
The timeline reflects Kevin’s desired schedule:
The testnet is tentatively planned to launch one month before the mainnet release, aiming for the end of February. The mainnet will follow after ensuring stable testnet operations. However, these dates are not yet finalized and may be adjusted based on progress and further discussions.
Base Stack (Architecture)
The foundation of the L2 chain must be designed with a minimal and simple architecture, ensuring flexibility and adaptability for diverse deployment environments. The architecture should natively include lightweight bridging functionality, enabling cross-chain operations seamlessly as a built-in feature. Additionally, the base stack must support deployment on both AWS and local environments, catering to diverse operational needs. (Kevin will provide further stack-related priorities as the project progresses.)
Add-ons
One essential package is mandatory for the L2 chain:
SDK & Packages
Two essential SDK packages are necessary for the L2 chain:
