The op-validator is a tool for validating Optimism chain configurations and deployments. It works by calling into the
StandardValidator smart contracts (StandardValidatorV180 and StandardValidatorV200). These then perform a set of checks,
and return error codes for any issues found. These checks include:
Contract implementations and versions
Proxy configurations
System parameters
Cross-component relationships
Security settings
Usage
The validator supports different protocol versions through subcommands:
op-validator validate [version] [flags]
Where version is one of:
v1.8.0 - For validating protocol version 1.8.0
v2.0.0 - For validating protocol version 2.0.0
Required Flags
--l1-rpc-url: L1 RPC URL (can also be set via L1_RPC_URL environment variable)
--absolute-prestate: Absolute prestate as hex string
--proxy-admin: Proxy admin address as hex string. This should be a specific chain's proxy admin contract on L1.
It is not the proxy admin owner or the superchain proxy admin.
--system-config: System config proxy address as hex string
--l2-chain-id: L2 chain ID
Optional Flags
--fail: Exit with non-zero code if validation errors are found (defaults to true)
