TLDR: Create a deployment pattern for developers to get "free" deployments through SuperCLI
There are probably two tracks to this work worth pursuing:
- Pattern which enables devs to deploy for free on testnet and devnets
- Patter for long term support of mainnet deployments
For path 1. we could consider centralizing deployment through a centralized deployer wallet operated by OP Labs to testnet and devnets
- Doing so would allow us to remove the need for developers to prefund a wallet with gas on relevant testnets and devnets
- In this model we would package the deploy init code in the CLI and hand it off to a centralized service which would deploy to the relevant chains
- In this model we would not need programatic faucet access or need to provide a bridging expeirence in the CLI for devnets
For path 2. we probably want to pursue this as the long term strategy for testnet and mainnet deployments to decentralize the deployments
- Users in the CLI would store private key as is, during deployment flow, deployment would be packaged as a userOp and appended to a smart wallet init userop
- Deployment would be submitted from the smart wallet
- Paymasters would be set up on relevant chains and prefunded
- Devs deploying through CLI would be sponsored up to some limit per week, etc.
Why?
- Deployments don't cost much but removing friction and encouraging free use is a great way to add value without changing the workflow
- Removing the need to bridge or fund on various networks simplifies the process of deploying and encouraging multichain behavior
My recco:
- Get a version of path 1 working for ETH Denver - support the hackathon and devs building on devnets to start through CLI
- Later in Q1 ship path 2 as a more durable long term solution
