Tezlink meta milestone

This meta-milestone is about the development of Tezlink, a Tezos-compatible layer 2 blockchain hosted on the same rollup as Etherlink.

Past

Michelson-in-Rust

%(2023Q3-Q4) Michelson-in-Rust (meta-milestone for MIR in 2023)

Internship on EVM - Michelson interoperability

Prototyping of Etherlink duplication

Design experiment to compare ease of implementation for two solutions to host a chain on the same rollup than Etherlink.

Milestone: %Tezlink: prototype two Etherlink chains on the same rollup

End-to-end demo of a Tezos application, block explorer, and wallet

To help prioritizing the development of Tezlink, we will first target running an end-to-end demo (with a dapp, explorer, and wallet). This milestone was about running such a demo on L1 and using coverage reporting to list the needed features.

Milestone: %Tezlink: end-to-end demonstration of Tezos Layer 1

Empty Tezos blocks

To bootstrap the work toward Tezos-compatibility, this first version will have empty blocks only.

Milestone: %Tezlink: empty Tezos blocks

Present

Transactions between implicit account

First operations to be supported are reveal and transfers between implicit accounts. We use octez-client to test compatibility with L1.

Milestone: %Tezlink: Tezos-compatible ledger

Smart contracts

This is about plugging the Michelson-in-Rust interpreter to the kernel and using it to execute simple smart contracts.

%Tezlink: smart contracts

TzKT indexing

To index the chain, TzKT needs a few RPCs. This project is about adding them so that we can have an indexer (and its API) on Tezlink.

%Tezlink: TzKT indexing

Future

End-to-end demo on L2

The target is to redo the demo of %Tezlink: end-to-end demonstration of Tezos Layer 1 but on Tezlink.

Tezos compatibility

Cover as much as possible from Tezos (originations, all RPCs which make sense).

The multichain feature

Milestone: %Tezlink: multiple EVM chains on a single rollup
