Deployment Status and Next Steps

Last Reviewed: 2026-04-13
Status: Historical deployment snapshot
Network: ChainID 138 - DeFi Oracle Meta Mainnet
Use for current operations: docs/deployment/MASTER_INDEX.md, docs/PROJECT_OPTIMIZATION_STATUS.md, and docs/operations/tasks/NEXT_STEPS_LIST.md

This document preserves an earlier deployment checkpoint with environment-specific details. Keep it for context, but prefer the current deployment indexes and runbooks above for live operations.

✅ Completed Tasks

Phase 1: Infrastructure Setup

• ✅ Genesis.json updated with WETH9/WETH10 bytecode (31,213 bytes)
• ✅ QBFT extraData generated and deployed (RLP-encoded, 300 chars)
• ✅ Data directories emptied on all 5 nodes
• ✅ Besu containers restarted with new genesis
• ✅ All 5 nodes verified running (ChainID 138)

Phase 2: Core Contracts

• ✅ WETH9 deployed at genesis: 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2 (3,125 bytes)
• ✅ WETH10 deployed at genesis: 0xf4BB2e28688e89fCcE3c0580D37d36A7672E8A9F (9,976 bytes)
• ✅ WETH10 functions verified: name='Wrapped Ether v10', symbol='WETH10', decimals=18

Phase 3: Deployment Scripts

• ✅ CCIP Router deployment script created
• ✅ CCIP Sender deployment script created
• ✅ CCIP Receiver deployment script created
• ✅ CCIP WETH9 Bridge deployment script created
• ✅ CCIP WETH10 Bridge deployment script created
• ✅ Deployment orchestrator script created

Phase 4: Monitoring & Explorer

• ✅ Blockscout deployed (startup command fixed)
• ✅ Blockscout database running and healthy

⏳ Current Status

Block Production

• Status: Nodes at block 0 (QBFT validators initializing)
• Chain ID: 138 ✅
• extraData: Valid RLP-encoded (300 chars) ✅
• Next: Wait for validators to initialize and start producing blocks

RPC Connectivity

• Status: SSH tunnel needed for local contract deployment
• Endpoint: http://localhost:8545 (tunnel to 10.3.1.4:8545)
• Next: Establish tunnel once blocks are producing

Contract Deployment

• Status: Scripts ready, awaiting block production
• Deployment: Will proceed once network is producing blocks
• Next: Deploy CCIP infrastructure and core contracts

📋 Next Steps (Prioritized)

Immediate (Once Blocks are Producing)

1. Verify Block Production

   cast block-number --rpc-url http://localhost:8545
   # Should return > 0 once QBFT is producing blocks
   

2. Establish RPC Tunnel

   ssh -f -N -L 8545:10.3.1.4:8545 besuadmin@20.160.58.99
   

3. Deploy CCIP Infrastructure (in parallel where possible)

   • CCIP Router
   • CCIP Sender
   • CCIP Receiver
   • CCIP WETH9 Bridge
   • CCIP WETH10 Bridge

4. Deploy Core Contracts

   • Multicall
   • Oracle Aggregator/Proxy
   • MultiSig
   • Mirror Manager
   • Two-Way Bridges

Short Term (This Week)

5. Configure FireFly Infrastructure

   • Configure FireFly Core for Chain 138
   • Configure FireFly DataExchange
   • Connect FireFly to Ethereum mainnet
   • Test cross-chain messaging

6. Configure Cacti Infrastructure

   • Deploy Cacti Core
   • Configure EVM connectors for Chain 138
   • Configure connectors for Ethereum/Fabric
   • Test multi-ledger workflows

7. Verify Blockscout

   • Ensure Blockscout is accessible
   • Verify contract verification works
   • Test explorer functionality

Medium Term (This Month)

8. Deploy Enterprise Interop Contracts

   • Chain138Anchor
   • AnchorCoordinator
   • EthereumEventOracle
   • Chain138AnchorReceiver

9. E2E Testing

   • Test CCIP message flows
   • Test cross-chain oracle updates
   • Test enterprise interop workflows

10. Production Hardening

    • Security audits
    • Performance optimization
    • Documentation updates
    • Monitoring alerts

🔧 Troubleshooting

Block Production Not Starting

• Verify extraData in genesis.json is valid (300+ chars)
• Check Besu logs for validator errors
• Ensure validator keys are configured on nodes
• Verify QBFT validators match extraData addresses

RPC Connection Issues

• Check SSH tunnel is active: ps aux | grep ssh.*8545
• Verify RPC is enabled on node: curl http://10.3.1.4:8545
• Check firewall rules allow localhost forwarding

Contract Deployment Fails

• Verify network is producing blocks
• Check RPC connectivity
• Verify PRIVATE_KEY in .env has 0x prefix
• Check gas price/gas limit settings

📊 Network Configuration

• Chain ID: 138
• Consensus: QBFT
• Block Period: 2 seconds
• Epoch Length: 30,000 blocks
• Gas Limit: 30,000,000 (0x1c9c380)
