Enable a prover

Prerequisites

• You are already running a Taiko node.

Enable a prover with simple-taiko-node

Note

The SGX registration process now occurs fully onchain! By registering through on-chain RA, TTKOh will be deposited to your prover’s L1 Address.

1. A Taiko prover needs to be able to generate SGX proofs at the moment. Please follow the README guide on our raiko repository.

2. Then set the SGX_RAIKO_HOST endpoint in your .env file.

3. Set the L1_PROVER_PRIVATE_KEY to an L1 account’s private key which will send the Prove Block transactions.

4. Set the MIN_ACCEPTABLE_PROOF_FEE to the value in GWei that you deem sufficient.

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

6. You can then run your prover with docker compose --profile prover 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!

Approve TaikoL1 as TTKOh spender

You will need TTKOh deposited on the TaikoL1 contract to secure the bond for the proofs you generate.

4. Set the amount to at least the minimum bond amount of 250 TTKOh.

   You will need 250 TTKOh for each bond you sign. After entering 250, you need to set the 18 decimals that the TTKOh contract takes, you can click the plus button and then select 10^18.
