The deployment process is the same as a typical OP stack chain. The testnet code snapshot this document is based on is the sepolia-testnet branch of the blast-io/blast repo: https://github.com/blast-io/blast/commits/sepolia-testnet/

This document is targeted at advanced users that want to build Blast from source. If you’d prefer to run prebuilt docker images, check out this repo here: https://github.com/blast-io/deployment

Building the Docker Images

blast-geth

cd blast-geth/
docker build -t blast-geth .

op-node

cd blast-optimism/
# TODO: you can use whatever registry and repository makes sense for your own build process
REGISTRY=blast.io REPOSITORY=blast-optimism docker buildx bake --load -f docker-bake.hcl op-node

Setup (run once)

Generate the jwt secret

openssl rand -hex 32 | tr -d "\n" > /jwt.txt

Initialize the blast-geth data directory

geth init \
  --datadir=$GETH_DATA_DIR \
  config/genesis.json

Running
