Running the application

This document covers common scenarios for launching zkSync applications set locally.

Prerequisites

Prepare dev environment prerequisites: see

Setup local dev environment

Setup:

zk # installs and builds zk itself
zk init

If you face any other problems with the zk init command, go to the Troubleshooting section at the end of this file. There are solutions for some common error cases.

To completely reset the dev environment:

Stop services:
```
zk down
```
Repeat the setup procedure above

If zk init has already been executed, and now you only need to start docker containers (e.g. after reboot), simply launch:

zk up

Run observability stack

If you want to run Dockprom stack (Prometheus, Grafana) alongside other containers - add --run-observability parameter during initialisation.

zk init --run-observability

That will also provision Grafana with era-observability dashboards. You can then access it at http://127.0.0.1:3000/ under credentials admin/admin.

If you don't see any data displayed on the Grafana dashboards - try setting the timeframe to "Last 30 minutes". You will also have to have jq installed on your system.

(Re)deploy db and contracts

zk contract redeploy

Environment configurations

Env config files are held in etc/env/

List configurations:

zk env

Switch between configurations:

zk env <ENV_NAME>

Default configuration is dev.env, which is generated automatically from dev.env.example during zk init command execution.

Build and run server

Run server:

zk server

Server is configured using env files in ./etc/env directory. After the first initialization, file ./etc/env/dev.envwill be created. By default, this file is copied from the ./etc/env/dev.env.example template.

Make sure you have environment variables set right, you can check it by running: zk env. You should see * dev in output.

Running server using Google cloud storage object store instead of default In memory store

Get the service_account.json file containing the GCP credentials from kubernetes secret for relevant environment(stage2/ testnet2) add that file to the default location ~/gcloud/service_account.json or update object_store.toml with the file location

zk server

Running prover server

Running on machine without GPU

zk f cargo +nightly run --release --bin zksync_prover

Running on machine with GPU

zk f cargo +nightly run --features gpu --release --bin zksync_prover

Running the verification key generator

# ensure that the setup_2^26.key in the current directory, the file can be download from  https://storage.googleapis.com/matterlabs-setup-keys-us/setup-keys/setup_2\^26.key

# To generate all verification keys
cargo run --release --bin zksync_verification_key_generator

Generating binary verification keys for existing json verification keys

cargo run --release --bin zksync_json_to_binary_vk_converter -- -o /path/to/output-binary-vk

Generating commitment for existing verification keys

cargo run --release --bin zksync_commitment_generator

Running the contract verifier

# To process fixed number of jobs
cargo run --release --bin zksync_contract_verifier -- --jobs-number X

# To run until manual exit
zk contract_verifier

Troubleshooting

SSL error: certificate verify failed

Problem. zk init fails with the following error:

Initializing download: https://storage.googleapis.com/matterlabs-setup-keys-us/setup-keys/setup_2%5E20.key
SSL error: certificate verify failed

Solution. Make sure that the version of axel on your computer is 2.17.10 or higher.

rmSync is not a function

Problem. zk init fails with the following error:

fs_1.default.rmSync is not a function

Solution. Make sure that the version of node.js installed on your computer is 14.14.0 or higher.

Invalid bytecode: ()

Problem. zk init fails with an error similar to:

Error: Genesis is not needed (either Postgres DB or tree's Rocks DB is not empty)

Description. This means that your bytecode config file has an empty entry: "bytecode": "0x". This happens because your zksync-2-dev/etc/system-contracts/package.json's dependency on "@matterlabs/hardhat-zksync-solc" is outdated. We don't expect this error to happen as we've updated to latest version which fixes the problem.

Solution. Update your dependency and reinit:

yarn add -D @matterlabs/hardhat-zksync-solc # in the system-contracts folder
zk clean --all && zk init

On the run, it moved from:

    "@matterlabs/hardhat-zksync-solc": "^0.3.14-beta.3",

to:

    "@matterlabs/hardhat-zksync-solc": "^0.3.15",

Error: Bytecode length in 32-byte words must be odd

Problem. zk init fails with an error similar to:
