Building and running from source

Silius is built in Rust. First install Rust, then clone the repository and enter the directory.

git clone [e-mail]:Vid201/silius.git
cd silius

At the moment, the recommended version of Rust is 1.71.1.

Build from source

Before you can build the project, you need some prerequisites installed:

1. libclang-dev, pkg-config and libssl-dev on Debian/Ubuntu.

2. Ethereum execution client JSON-RPC API with enabled debug_traceCall. For production, you can use Geth or Erigon. For testing, we are using Geth dev mode (tested with v1.12.0); so you need to install Geth for running tests.

3. solc >=0.8.12.

4. cargo-sort and cargo-udeps.

There are also some other third-party dependencies you need to setup (mainly ERC-4337 related smart contracts). These commands will clone the account abstraction repos and compile the smart contracts.

make fetch-thirdparty
make setup-thirdparty

After everything is setup, you can start the build:

make build // cargo build --release

Running

You can now run the Silius with the following command:

make run-silius // cargo run --release -- bundler --eth-client-address http://127.0.0.1:8545 --mnemonic-file ${HOME}/.silius/0xf39Fd6e51aad88F6F4ce6aB8827279cffFb92266 --beneficiary 0xf39Fd6e51aad88F6F4ce6aB8827279cffFb92266 --entry-points 0x5FF137D4b0FDCD49DcA30c7CF57E578a026d2789 --http --ws

Some of the most commonly used CLI params are:

• eth-client-address: HTTP or WS address to the Ethereum execution client (client should have debug RPC interface enabled, if not you need to run the bundler in unsafe mode with --uopool-mode unsafe)

• mnemonic-file: path to the seed phrase of the bundler's account

• datadir: path to the folder where db file will be saved (in case the storage is database)

• beneficiary: address to where the gas left is sent

• entry-points: address of the ERC-4337 singleton entry point smart contract

• http: enable HTTP JSON-RPC endpoints

• ws: enablr WS JSON-RPC endpoints

• eth-client-proxy-address: HTTP address to the Ethereum execution client, where to forward the standard calls to the execution client
