| 1 | +# STF Runner Demo |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +An interactive CLI demonstration of the State Transition Function (STF) for the Orchestration Layer (OL) blockchain. This demo showcases block processing, account management, L1->L2 deposits, withdrawals, and state transitions in real-time. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Overview |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +The STF Runner Demo provides a hands-on way to understand how the Orchestration Layer processes blocks and manages account states. It demonstrates: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +- Block Processing: Genesis, valid blocks, and invalid block rejection |
| 10 | +- L1->L2 Bridge: Deposit functionality via ASM logs |
| 11 | +- Account Management: Balance tracking and state updates |
| 12 | +- Withdrawals: Balance deduction through SNARK account updates |
| 13 | +- State Inspection: Real-time STF state and account balance viewing |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## Features |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +- Automatic Genesis: Genesis block processed on startup |
| 18 | +- Deposit System: L1 deposits increase account balances |
| 19 | +- Withdrawal System: Deducts balances via output transfers |
| 20 | +- State Tracking: View slots, epochs, accounts root, and state root |
| 21 | +- Block Inspector: Debug view of any processed block |
| 22 | +- Validation: Demonstrates invalid block rejection |
| 23 | +- Block Listing: Compact view of all processed blocks |
| 24 | + |

| 161 | +``` |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +### 7. Debug a Specific Block |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +``` |
| 166 | +stf> debug 1 |
| 167 | +Debug Info for Block at Slot 1: |
| 168 | +OLBlock { |
| 169 | + signed_header: SignedOLBlockHeader { |
| 170 | + header: OLBlockHeader { |
| 171 | + timestamp: 1000005000, |
| 172 | + slot: 1, |
| 173 | + epoch: 0, |
| 174 | + parent_blockid: 853c66fe..9273f72a, |
| 175 | + body_root: 0101010101..01010101, |

| 177 | + }, |
| 178 | + signature: 0303030303..03030303, |
| 179 | + }, |
| 180 | + body: OLBlockBody { |
| 181 | + logs: [], |
| 182 | + txs: None, |
| 183 | + l1update: Some( |
| 184 | + L1Update { |
| 185 | + inner_state_root: 0000000000..00000000, |
| 186 | + new_l1_height: 1000, |
| 187 | + manifests: [ |
| 188 | + AsmManifest { |
| 189 | + l1_block_id: aaaaaaaaaa..aaaaaaaa, |
| 190 | + logs: [ |
| 191 | + AsmLogEntry { ... } |
| 192 | + ], |
| 193 | + }, |
| 194 | + ], |
| 195 | + }, |
| 196 | + ), |
| 197 | + }, |
| 198 | +} |
| 199 | +``` |
| 200 | + |
| 201 | +### 8. Test Invalid Block |
| 202 | + |
| 203 | +``` |
| 204 | +stf> invalid |
| 205 | +Processing invalid block (should fail)... |
| 206 | +EXPECTED: Invalid block rejected: invalid block header: Invalid slot sequence |
| 207 | +``` |
| 208 | + |
| 209 | +## Architecture |
| 210 | + |
| 211 | +### Account System |
| 212 | + |
| 213 | +- Account 0: 0000000000...000 - Primary demo account |
| 214 | +- Account 1: 0101010101...101 - Secondary demo account |
| 215 | +- Bridge Account: ffffffff...fff - Withdrawal destination |
| 216 | + |
| 217 | +### Block Types |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +1. Genesis Block (Slot 0): Establishes initial state |
| 220 | +2. Deposit Blocks: Contain L1Update with ASM logs for deposits |
| 221 | +3. Withdrawal Blocks: Contain transactions with OutputTransfer |
| 222 | +4. Test Blocks: Empty blocks for slot progression |
| 223 | +5. Invalid Blocks: Demonstrate validation (slot regression) |
| 224 | + |
| 225 | +### State Tracking |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | +- Slot: Increments with each processed block |
| 228 | +- Epoch: Increments when L1Update is processed |
| 229 | +- Accounts Root: Hash of all account states |
| 230 | +- State Root: Computed root of current STF state |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | +## Implementation Details |
| 233 | + |
| 234 | +### Deposit Flow |
| 235 | + |
| 236 | +1. DepositLog created with amount and target account |
| 237 | +2. Converted to AsmLogEntry |
| 238 | +3. Packaged in AsmManifest and L1Update |
| 239 | +4. Processed by STF, crediting account balance |
| 240 | +5. Epoch incremented |
| 241 | + |
| 242 | +### Withdrawal Flow |
| 243 | + |
| 244 | +1. OutputTransfer created with destination and amount |
| 245 | +2. Packaged in SnarkAccountUpdate transaction |
| 246 | +3. STF processes transaction, debiting source account |
| 247 | +4. Balance saved back to ledger |
| 248 | + |
| 249 | +### State Root Computation |
| 250 | + |
| 251 | +- Block headers contain dummy state roots during creation |
| 252 | +- STF computes actual state root during processing |
| 253 | +- Demo tracks computed roots for accurate display |
| 254 | + |
| 255 | +## Code Structure |
| 256 | + |
| 257 | +``` |
| 258 | +bin/stf-runner-demo/ |
| 259 | +├── main.rs # Main CLI application |
| 260 | +├── Cargo.toml # Dependencies and binary config |
| 261 | +└── README.md # This file |
| 262 | +``` |
| 263 | + |
| 264 | +### Key Functions |
| 265 | + |
| 266 | +- main(): CLI loop and initialization |
| 267 | +- create_*_block(): Block generation functions |
| 268 | +- show_*(): Display functions for state/accounts/blocks |
| 269 | +- SimpleStateAccessor: StateAccessor trait implementation |
| 270 | + |
| 271 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 272 | + |
| 273 | +### Common Issues |
| 274 | + |
| 275 | +**Q: Why does my withdrawal not reduce the balance?** |
| 276 | +A: Ensure you have sufficient balance. Check with 'accounts' command first. |
| 277 | + |
| 278 | +**Q: Why do some blocks get rejected?** |
| 279 | +A: The 'invalid' command intentionally creates blocks with slot regression to demonstrate validation. |
| 280 | + |
| 281 | +**Q: What's the difference between state root in blocks vs STF state?** |
| 282 | +A: Block headers contain dummy state roots. The STF computes real state roots during processing. |
| 283 | + |
| 284 | +## Development |
| 285 | + |
| 286 | +### Adding New Commands |
| 287 | + |
| 288 | +1. Add command parsing in main() match statement |
| 289 | +2. Create corresponding block generation function |
| 290 | +3. Update show_help() with new command |
| 291 | + |
| 292 | +### Modifying Account Behavior |
| 293 | + |
| 294 | +- Edit account initialization in main() |
| 295 | +- Modify transaction generation in create_*_block() |
| 296 | +- Update display logic in show_accounts() |
| 297 | + |
| 298 | +## Dependencies |
| 299 | + |
| 300 | +- stf-runner: Core STF implementation |
| 301 | +- strata-primitives: Basic types and utilities |
| 302 | +- strata-asm-logs: ASM log structures |
| 303 | +- hex: Hexadecimal encoding for display |
| 304 | +- anyhow: Error handling |
