# OP Devnet Review
Devnet based on [OP-Kurtosis](https://github.com/ethpandaops/optimism-package)

- They have a [costs calculator](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1V3CWpeUzXv5Iopw8lBSS8tWoSzyR4PDDwV9cu2kKOrs/edit?gid=186414307#gid=186414307)

## Ease of Setup + Docs/Tools
- Client diversity with 5 execution clients:
    - [OP-geth](https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/op-geth)
    - [OP-reth](https://reth.rs/run/optimism.html)
    - [OP-erigon](https://github.com/testinprod-io/op-erigon)
    - [OP-nethermind](https://hub.docker.com/layers/nethermindeth/nethermind/op-c482d56/images/sha256-2d643aba64e8501961a850d3b8226b64715aa8894c9ebd5cb564869099086630?context=explore)
    - [OP-besu](https://github.com/optimism-java/op-besu)
- 2 consensus clients:
    - [op-node](https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/optimism/tree/develop/op-node)
    - [hildr](https://github.com/optimism-java/hildr)
- Kurtosis setup comes built-in with all of the above + Blockscout. Everything can be spun up with a single command.

## Performance (TPS) + Reliability Under Load
#### EOA Transfers:
- 50,000 Transactions
- 665.6 TPS

#### 50,000 NFT Mints
- 50,000 Mint transactions
- Blocks start behaving weirdly, and waiting for all the transcations to be included in the blocks takes a long time
- 144.6 TPS -> Probably due to some blocks not involving any of these transactions

#### 25,000 NFT Mints
- 25,000 Mint transactions
- Blocks are behaving normally
- 241.0 TPS

#### Uniswapv3
- 10,000 Token swap transactions
- 141.5 TPS

## Ethereum Standards Conformance

From the [OP Docs](https://docs.optimism.io/chain/differences), and conducting loadtests, it seems like OP follows the Ethereum Standards very closely.

## Cost
Similar to Ethereum, OP stack's system requirements are not demanding:
- The deployment of OP Stack can be divided into 3 major components:
    - Deployment and funding of [L1 contracts](https://docs.optimism.io/builders/chain-operators/tutorials/create-l2-rollup#deploy-the-l1-contracts)
      ![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HJh_wXW6A.png)
    - Infrastructure deployment of [OP-geth](https://docs.optimism.io/builders/chain-operators/tutorials/create-l2-rollup#start-op-geth) (EL) and [OP-node](https://docs.optimism.io/builders/chain-operators/tutorials/create-l2-rollup#start-op-node) (CL)
        - Considering OP-geth is similar to Geth, the [system requirements](https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/getting-started/hardware-requirements) for Geth was referenced. A Quad-Core CPU with 32GB Memory seems to be sufficient.
        ![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/S1YoyS-TR.png)

        - Similarly, OP-node is analogous to one of Ethereum's CL clients - [Lighthouse](https://lighthouse-book.sigmaprime.io/installation.html) system requirements were referenced. Although OP-node [mentions](https://docs.optimism.io/builders/node-operators/tutorials/mainnet#hardware-requirements) 16GB RAM, Lighthouse mentions that 16GB is becoming limiting, and recommends 32GB RAM. Similarly, a Quad-Core CPU with 32GB Memory seems to be sufficient.

    - Other infrastructure deployments like [OP-batcher](https://docs.optimism.io/builders/chain-operators/tutorials/create-l2-rollup#start-op-batcher) and [OP-proposer](https://docs.optimism.io/builders/chain-operators/tutorials/create-l2-rollup#start-op-proposer) and [RPC nodes](https://docs.optimism.io/builders/node-operators/tutorials/mainnet)
        - The OP-batcher and OP-proposer services seem to require minimal hardware to run. These already come in docker images and could be included in the above VMs if one were to try saving costs.
