📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Deployment configurations and verifier deployment commands use updated program verification keys. Prover compression now uses pinned Morph DA encoder and decoder helpers instead of direct Zstandard implementations.

Changes

Verifier configuration updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update verifier program keys
contracts/src/deploy-config/*.ts, prover/bin/shadow-prove/contracts/README.md, prover/contracts/README.md
Deployment configurations and EvmVerifier deployment commands now use the new programVkey value.

Morph DA compression integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Replace compression dependencies
prover/Cargo.toml, prover/crates/executor/client/Cargo.toml, prover/crates/executor/host/Cargo.toml
The prover uses pinned Morph DA encoder and decoder dependencies instead of mutable or direct Zstandard dependencies.
Delegate batch compression
prover/crates/executor/client/src/types/blob.rs, prover/crates/executor/host/src/blob.rs
Batch compression and decompression now use Morph DA helper functions. Manual Zstandard framing and encoder setup were removed. The public MAGIC_NUM constant was removed.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to e1178

GitHub morph-l2/morph-da-codec commit 681727561e38d07c3ca7ad3017bea7f165b68783 decompress_morph_da_zstd

💡 Result:

The commit hash 681727561e38d07c3ca7ad3017bea7f165b68783 is not directly associated with a public repository or public commit in the morph-l2/morph organization. Research indicates that the Morph Layer 2 project does, however, utilize a dedicated codec for its Data Availability (DA) layer, specifically through the morph-l2/morph-da-codec repository [1]. Recent updates to the Morph protocol (v0.6.1) moved batch decompression functionality to use the Morph DA codec decoder [1][2]. This integration replaced legacy CGO-linked Zstd libraries with the Morph DA codec implementation to improve node performance and reliability [1]. The specific function name decompress_morph_da_zstd is consistent with the naming conventions used in the project's codebase for handling Zstd-compressed DA payloads, which are often processed without magic bytes for compatibility [1]. The project has undergone significant refactoring recently, including moving to a high-performance sequencer model in v0.6.0 [3] and deprecating various legacy batch generation components [4]. Developers looking for the specific decompression logic should refer to the morph-l2/morph-da-codec repository and the corresponding integration pull requests in the main morph-l2/morph repository [1].

Preserve the empty-blob sentinel before calling decompress_morph_da_zstd.

encode_blob(Vec::new()) produces an all-zero blob. decode_blob_scalars converts it to 126,976 zero bytes. The decoder reads a zero content size and returns Error::InvalidFrame, so get_origin_batch rejects an empty batch. Restore the all-zero check before decompression. The decoder already ignores trailing padding after the first frame.

Guest now shares decompress_morph_da_zstd with the node, which closes the FCS / content-size gap. A few nits below.

Also please add guest tests that no-FCS and FCS-mismatch frames now error.

use morph_da_decoder_core::decompress_morph_da_zstd;

/// This magic number is included at the start of a single Zstandard frame

MAGIC_NUM is unused after this change. Drop it, or re-export ZSTD_MAGIC from the decoder crate.

let mut decoder = StreamingDecoder::new(&mut x)?;
let mut result = Vec::new();
decoder.read_to_end(&mut result).context("Failed to decompress batch")?;
let decoded = decompress_morph_da_zstd(compressed_batch)?;

Do not restore the all-zero short-circuit (as suggested above). The node already rejects an all-zero blob through this decoder (InvalidFrame). Putting the sentinel back on the guest only re-opens a prover/node differential.

If empty batches are actually used in prod, add the sentinel on both sides.

Pin rev = "681727561e38..." (same commit as the node). branch = "main" can drift on the next cargo update.

Follow-up looks good: rev is pinned, MAGIC_NUM is gone, and the all-zero short-circuit stayed removed (correct — matches the node).

Still missing guest tests that no-FCS and FCS-mismatch frames now error. Worth adding before merge.
