The Apply Command

Once you have initialized your intent and state files, you can use the apply command to perform the deployment.

You can call the apply command like this:

op-deployer apply \
  --workdir <directory containing the intent and state files> \
  <... additional arguments ...>

You will need to specify additional arguments depending on what you're trying to do. See below for a reference of each supported CLI arg.

--deployment-target

Default: live

--deployment-target specifies where each chain should be deployed to. It can be one of the following values:

• live: Deploys to a live L1. Concretely, this means that OP Deployer will send transactions identified by vm.broadcast calls to L1. --l1-rpc-url and --private-key must be specified when using this target.
• genesis: Deploys to an L1 genesis file. This is useful for testing or local development purposes. You do not need to specify any additional arguments when using this target.
• calldata: Deploys to a calldata file. This is useful for generating inputs to multisig wallets for future execution.
• noop: Doesn't deploy anything. This is useful for performing a dry-run of the deployment process prior to another deployment target.

--l1-rpc-url

Defines the RPC URL of the L1 chain to deploy to.

--private-key

Defines the private key to use for signing transactions. This is only required for deployment targets that involve sending live transactions. Note that ownership over each L2 is transferred to the proxy admin owner specified in the intent after the deployment completes, so it's OK to use a hot key for this purpose.
