CDK OP Geth

These configurations are based on the OP stack and more specifically on op-geth.

Sovereign​

This is the default configuration for Polygon CDK. It deploys a minimal but fully functional rollup environment based on the Optimism stack, ideal for getting started quickly and testing basic functionality.

What gets deployed?​

  • L1 Ethereum blockchain (lighthouse/geth).
  • Agglayer stack (contracts, agglayer service and mock prover).
  • L2 Optimism blockchain (op-geth/op-node) enhanced with AggKit for seamless Agglayer connectivity.
  • zkEVM bridge to facilitate asset bridging between L1 and L2 chains.

Best For​

  • Developers getting started with Polygon CDK.
  • Testing basic rollup functionality.
  • Lightweight environments with minimal resource requirements.

Deployment​

To deploy this environment:

kurtosis run --enclave cdk .

ZK Rollup​

These configurations enhance the standard CDK OP Geth Sovereign environment with zero-knowledge proofs for block execution verification, powered by OP Succinct.

info

The key difference is that the mock prover simulates proof generation, while the real prover uses the Succinct Prover Network for actual zero-knowledge proofs.

Mock Prover​

This setup is perfect for testing as it simulates the OP Succinct proving system without the computational overhead of generating real zero-knowledge proofs.

What gets deployed?​

Best For​

  • Testing environments where computational efficiency is a priority.
  • Scenarios that do not require real zero-knowledge proofs.

Deployment​

To deploy this environment:

kurtosis run --enclave cdk --args-file .github/tests/chains/op-succinct.yml .

Real Prover​

This configuration deploys a production-like environment with actual zero-knowledge proof generation..

What gets deployed?​

  • L1 Ethereum blockchain (lighthouse/geth).
  • Agglayer stack (contracts, agglayer service and SP1 prover - the prover is not deployed locally, instead we leverage the Succinct Prover Network).
  • Succinct's SP1 contracts for onchain verification of SP1 EVM proofs.
  • L2 Optimism blockchain (op-geth/op-node) enhanced with AggKit and its prover for seamless Agglayer connectivity as well as OP Succinct's proposer, instead of the regular OP proposer.
  • zkEVM bridge to facilitate asset bridging between L1 and L2 chains.
  • Additional services: bridge spammer to generate load on the network.

Best For​

  • Production-like environments requiring real zero-knowledge proofs.
  • Scenarios where cryptographic security guarantees are essential.

Deployment​

To deploy this environment:

kurtosis run --enclave cdk --args-file .github/tests/chains/op-succinct-real-prover.yml .
