Deployments

Deploying decentralized identity (dID) on a new rollup blockchain requires several steps to ensure seamless integration and compatibility with the DiD Layer. Below is a structured guide on how to deploy dID on a new rollup blockchain.

Step 1: Integrate DiD Layer Contracts

The first step is to integrate the DiD Protocol contracts into the rollup blockchain. These contracts handle identity management, mapping user-friendly names to wallet addresses, and facilitating decentralized application (dApp) interactions.


Step 2: Understand Smart Contracts

Familiarize yourself with the DiD Layer Smart Contracts, including:

Understanding these contracts ensures proper implementation within the rollup blockchain.


Step 3: Prepare the Development Environment

Set up a development environment with the necessary tools:

  • EVM-Compatible Rollups: Install Truffle or Hardhat.

  • Other Environments: Await future updates for compatibility.

  • Version Control: Use Git for managing changes.


Step 4: Review the Contract Code

Examine the smart contract source code for:

  • Structure and function logic.

  • Configurable parameters.

  • Alignment with project requirements.


Step 5: Customize Configuration

Modify the smart contracts as needed:

  • Adjust contract parameters.

  • Configure network settings.

  • Integrate with existing systems.


Step 6: Compile Contracts

Compile the smart contracts into bytecode and ABI artifacts using Truffle or Hardhat. This ensures readiness for blockchain deployment.


Step 7: Configure Deployment Settings

Define deployment parameters:

  • Gas limits and transaction fees.

  • Network endpoints.

  • Initial contract values.


Step 8: Implement Rollup Messaging Protocol

  • Default Protocol: DiD Layer supports LayerZero out of the box.

  • Additional Protocols: Can be requested based on rollup requirements.

  • Synchronization: Integrate DiD Layer with the rollup’s messaging protocol to ensure smooth data exchange.


Step 9: Ensure Security and Auditing

Conduct security audits and testing:

  • Code Reviews: Ensure best practices are followed.

  • Penetration Testing: Identify vulnerabilities.

  • Deployment Simulation: Use testnets for validation.


Step 10: Develop User Interface

Build a UI for managing dID on the rollup blockchain:

  • User-friendly design.

  • Features for creating, updating, and interacting with identities.

  • Integration with real-time data from DiD Layer.


Step 11: Deploy on Testnet

Before mainnet deployment:

  • Deploy dID on a testnet.

  • Conduct thorough validation.

  • Address any issues found.


Step 12: Deploy on Mainnet

After successful testnet validation:

  • Deploy the solution on the mainnet.

  • Provide documentation.

  • Inform users and developers about the new dID integration.


Step 13: Monitor and Maintain

  • Continuously track performance and user adoption.

  • Address emerging issues.

  • Update the dID solution as rollup technologies evolve.
