Versatus LASR

Language Agnostic Stateless Rollup.

Usage

There are two main binaries that result from this repository:

• lasr_cli: Command line interface for the lasr_node binary.
• lasr_node: The LASR node itself.

Further documentation including design details and instructions for deploying programs for LASR can be found on our documentation site: https://docs.versatus.io/

Getting Started

The fastest way to see a LASR node in action is by using our internal Nix tooling at the root of this project which includes a local NixOS VM that will automatically spin up a LASR node and works with Linux/Darwin systems, as well as WSL. A GitHub codespaces devcontainer is also available for those who would rather not install Nix as a dependency.

A guide for installing Nix can be found here: https://github.com/versatus/versatus.nix.

Contributing Guide

Contributors are welcome, and we encourage interacting with us on Discord where we can help guide and answer any questions.

Fork And Clone The Repository

Create your own fork of the lasr repository, and create a local copy of your fork.

git clone github:<your-username>/lasr

Build The Project

LASR is built with Rust, so a Rust toolchain is a pre-requisite. If you have rustup installed the project's rust-toolchain.toml will enable the current toolchain our core team uses.

cd lasr && cargo build

Nix users can start an interactive development shell with nix develop, which provides the Rust toolchain automatically.

cd lasr && nix develop
cargo build

Testing Your Changes

To see your changes take effect, we suggest adding an appropriate unit or integration test, however some testing cases (such as bug fixes) may require manual testing, in which case using the project's nix flake is the easiest option. See Getting Started for setup steps, then testing your changes is straight-forward:

• unit or integration tests with cargo

# The mock_storage feature enables an in-memory variant of node storage
cargo test --workspace --features mock_storage

• NixOS VM manual debugging

nix build .#lasr_vm
./result/bin/run-lasr-debug-server-vm

Note: A qemu terminal should appear which you can either login as root, or ssh into. A logs folder should appear after a minute or so, with node debug info. Further info aboute the running node service can be found with journalctl -b | grep node-start.
