Enable a proposer

Prerequisites

• You are already running a Taiko node.

Using simple-taiko-node

1. First, you will need to have a prover from the marketplace or run your own SGX prover.

2. You MUST set PROVER_ENDPOINTS in simple-taiko-node .env file to the your SGX prover’s endpoint or one from the marketplace. If you do not set it and leave it default while not running a prover, your proposer will not work.

3. Next, set the L1_PROPOSER_PRIVATE_KEY to an L1 account’s private key which will send the Propose Block transactions.

4. Then, set the L2_SUGGESTED_FEE_RECIPIENT to an L2 account’s public key that will receive the fee.

5. Finally set ENABLE_PROPOSER to true in simple-taiko-node .env.

6. Now that the proposer is configured properly, you can run it with docker compose --profile proposer up -d!

   Note

   These are the bare minimum required settings along with a functional Taiko node to run a proposer, feel free to customize the rest of the variables in the .env file as you see fit!
