Execute Ethereum Blocks Without Proving from Local Directory

Overview

The z6m_prover command with --test-service option executes the specified range of blocks from a local directory.

Command Syntax

prover/target/release/z6m_prover --test-service --data-dir temp/mainnet --start-block <START> --end-block <END> --execution-log-file=temp/mainnet/logs/<feature>_<commit>.log

Required Flags

• --start-block: The first block to execute (required)
• --end-block: The last block to execute (required)

Important Considerations

Before Running

1. Ensure z6m_prover binary is built: run make z6m_prover to build it

Workflow

When the user wants to execute Ethereum Blocks from local directory:

1. Confirm parameters

   • Ask for the block range to execute if not already known from context

2. Run command

Examples

Example 1: Execute Blocks Without Proving in the Specified Block Range

prover/target/release/z6m_prover --test-service --data-dir temp/mainnet --start-block 24620000 --end-block 24620199 --execution-log-file=temp/mainnet/logs/<feature>_<commit>.log

Tips

• If building from source, use make z6m_prover within the project home folder to build the binary at prover/target/release/z6m_prover
