Key Details

• WeaveVM provides a gateway for Arweave's permanent with its own (WeaveVM) high data throughput of the permanently stored data into .

• Current maximum encoded blob size is 8 MB (8_388_608 bytes).

• WeaveVM currently operating in public testnet (Alphanet) - not recommended to use it in production environment.

Prerequisites and Resources

1. Understand how to boot basic Dymension RollApp and how to configure it.

2. Obtain test tWVM tokens through our faucet for testing purposes.
3. Monitor your transactions using the WeaveVM explorer.

How it works

You may choose to use WeaveVM as a DataAvailability layer of your RollApp. We assume that you know how to boot and configure basics of your dymint RollApp. As an example you may use https://github.com/dymensionxyz/rollapp-evm repository. Example uses "mock" DA client. To use WeaveVM you should simply set next environment variable before config generation step using init.sh export DA_CLIENT="weavevm" # This is the key change export WVM_PRIV_KEY="your_hex_string_wvm_priv_key_without_0x_at_the_beginning" init.sh will generate basic configuration for da_config in dymint.toml which should look like. da_config = '{"endpoint":"https://testnet-rpc.wvm.dev","chain_id":9496,"timeout":60000000000,"private_key_hex":"your_hex_string_wvm_priv_key_without_0x_at_the_beginning"}' In this example we use PRIVATE_KEY of your WeaveVM address. It's not the most secure way to handle transaction signing and that's why we also provide an ability to use web3signer as a signing method. To enable web3signer you will need to change init.sh script and add correspondent fields or change da_config json in dymint toml directly. e.g da_config = '{"endpoint":"https://testnet-rpc.wvm.dev","chain_id":9496,"timeout":"60000000000","web3_signer_endpoint":"http://localhost:9000"}'

and to enable tls next fields should be add to the json:

web3_signer_tls_cert_file web3_signer_tls_key_file web3_signer_tls_ca_cert_file Web3 signer

Web3Signer is a tool by Consensys which allows remote signing.

Warnings

Using a remote signer comes with risks, please read the web3signer docs. However this is a recommended way to sign transactions for enterprise users and production environments. Web3Signer is not maintained by WeaveVM team. Example of the most simple local web3signer deployment (for testing purposes): https://github.com/allnil/web3signer_test_deploy Example of used configuration:

# Set environment variables
export DA_CLIENT="weavevm"  # This is the key change
export WVM_PRIV_KEY="your_hex_string_wvm_priv_key_without_0x_at_the_beginning"

export ROLLAPP_CHAIN_ID="rollappevm_1234-1"
export KEY_NAME_ROLLAPP="rol-user"
export BASE_DENOM="arax"
export MONIKER="$ROLLAPP_CHAIN_ID-sequencer"
export ROLLAPP_HOME_DIR="$HOME/.rollapp_evm"
export SETTLEMENT_LAYER="mock"

# Initialize and start
make install BECH32_PREFIX=$BECH32_PREFIX
export EXECUTABLE="rollapp-evm"
$EXECUTABLE config keyring-backend test

sh scripts/init.sh

# Verify dymint.toml configuration
cat $ROLLAPP_HOME_DIR/config/dymint.toml | grep -A 5 "da_config"

dasel put -f "${ROLLAPP_HOME_DIR}"/config/dymint.toml "max_idle_time" -v "2s"

# Start the rollapp

$EXECUTABLE start --log_level=debug \
  --rpc.laddr="tcp://127.0.0.1:36657" \
  --p2p.laddr="tcp://0.0.0.0:36656" \
  --proxy_app="tcp://127.0.0.1:36658"

in rollap-evm log you will eventually see something like this:
