Quick start guide

Welcome to Rollkit, a sovereign rollup framework! The easiest way to launch your sovereign rollup node is by using the Rollkit CLI.

📦 Install Rollkit (CLI)

To install Rollkit, run the following command in your terminal:

bash
curl -sSL https://rollkit.dev/install.sh | sh -s v0.13.3

Verify the installation by checking the Rollkit version:

bash
rollkit version

A successful installation will display the version number and its associated git commit hash.

🚀 Run your sovereign rollup node

To start a basic sovereign rollup node, execute:

bash
rollkit start

Upon execution, the CLI will output log entries that provide insights into the node's initialization and operation:

bash
