Scroll Testnet launched!🚀🚀

We are on the zkRollup era, where multiple evm compatible zkRollups are about to launch. In this video we are going to explore Scroll, a very easy to use zkRollup. It give us a very similar experience to using Layer 1, which is good because we don't need to learn or install new tools.

In this moment Scroll is in an closed Alpha, so if you want to get whitelisted you would have to fill this form and wait for confirmation.

Dependencies

For this tutorial you will need NodeJs, I recommend downloading it from Linux via NVM, and Metamask.

1. Add Scroll L1 and L2 to metamask

Layer 1 testnet

Network name: Scroll L1 Testnet
New RPC URL: https://prealpha.scroll.io/l1
Chain ID: 534351
Currency symbol: TSETH
Block explorer URL: https://l1scan.scroll.io/

Layer 2 testnet

Network name: Scroll L2 Testnet
New RPC URL: https://prealpha.scroll.io/l2
Chain ID: 534354
Currency symbol: TSETH
Block explorer URL: https://l2scan.scroll.io/

2. Get Test Ether

Get TSETH through the faucet and send it from L1 to L2 via the bridge.

3. Launch a DApp

a. The Smart Contract

You can launch this smart contract via Remix, make sure you're on L2 on Metamask before launching.

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity 0.8.17;

contract HelloWorld {
    string public hello = "Hola mundo!";

    function setHello(string memory hello_) public
    {
        hello = hello_;
    }
}

b. The HTML

Create an HTML file on a new directory.

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
  <input id="connect_button" type="button" value="Connect" onclick="connectWallet()" style="display: none"></input>
  <p id="web3_message"></p>
  <p id="contract_state"></p>
  <h1>Hola Mundo! DApp</h1>
  <p id="hello"></p>
  <input type="input"  value="" id="hello_"></input>
  <input type="button" value="Set Hello" onclick="_setHello()"></input>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/web3/1.3.5/web3.min.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="blockchain_stuff.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

<script>
  function _setHello()
  {
    hello_ = document.getElementById("hello_").value
    setHello(hello_)
  }
</script>

c. The Javascript

In that same directory add a Javascript file. Notice we are using the Network ID 534354. Also remember to set the HELLO_WORLD_CONTRACT_ADDRESS variable with the contract we just launched.

blockchain_stuff.js

const NETWORK_ID = 534354
const HELLO_WORLD_CONTRACT_ADDRESS = "ADDRESS DE TU CONTRATO AQUI"
const HELLO_WORLD_ABI_PATH = "./HelloWorld.json"

var helloWorldContract
var accounts
var web3

function metamaskReloadCallback() {
  window.ethereum.on('accountsChanged', (accounts) => {
    document.getElementById("web3_message").textContent="Account changed, refreshing...";
    window.location.reload()
  })
  window.ethereum.on('networkChanged', (accounts) => {
    document.getElementById("web3_message").textContent="Network changed, refreshing...";
    window.location.reload()
  })
}

const getWeb3 = async () => {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    if(document.readyState=="complete")
    {
      if (window.ethereum) {
        const web3 = new Web3(window.ethereum)
        window.location.reload()
        resolve(web3)
      } else {
        reject("must install MetaMask")
        document.getElementById("web3_message").textContent="Error: Please connect to metamask";
      }
    }else
    {
      window.addEventListener("load", async () => {
        if (window.ethereum) {
          const web3 = new Web3(window.ethereum)
          resolve(web3)
        } else {
          reject("must install MetaMask")
          document.getElementById("web3_message").textContent="Error: Please install Metamask";
        }
      });
    }
  });
};

const getContract = async (web3, address, abi_path) => {
  const response = await fetch(abi_path);
  const data = await response.json();

  const netId = await web3.eth.net.getId();
  contract = new web3.eth.Contract(
    data,
    address
    );
  return contract
}

async function loadDapp() {
  metamaskReloadCallback()
  document.getElementById("web3_message").textContent="Please connect to Metamask"
  var awaitWeb3 = async function () {
    web3 = await getWeb3()
    web3.eth.net.getId((err, netId) => {
      if (netId == NETWORK_ID) {
        var awaitContract = async function () {
          helloWorldContract = await getContract(web3, HELLO_WORLD_CONTRACT_ADDRESS, HELLO_WORLD_ABI_PATH)
          document.getElementById("web3_message").textContent="You are connected to Metamask"
          onContractInitCallback()
          web3.eth.getAccounts(function(err, _accounts){
            accounts = _accounts
            if (err != null)
            {
              console.error("An error occurred: "+err)
            } else if (accounts.length > 0)
            {
              onWalletConnectedCallback()
            } else
            {
              document.getElementById("connect_button").style.display = "block"
            }
          });
        };
        awaitContract();
      } else {
        document.getElementById("web3_message").textContent="Please connect to Arbitrum Testnet";
      }
    });
  };
  awaitWeb3();
}

async function connectWallet() {
  await window.ethereum.request({ method: "eth_requestAccounts" })
  accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts()
  onWalletConnectedCallback()
}

loadDapp()

const onContractInitCallback = async () => {
  var hello = await helloWorldContract.methods.hello().call()
  document.getElementById("hello").textContent = hello;
}

const onWalletConnectedCallback = async () => {
}

//// Functions ////

const setHello = async (hello_) => {
  const result = await helloWorldContract.methods.setHello(hello_)
  .send({ from: accounts[0], gas: 0, value: 0 })
  .on('transactionHash', function(hash){
    document.getElementById("web3_message").textContent="Executing...";
  })
  .on('receipt', function(receipt){
    document.getElementById("web3_message").textContent="Success.";    })
  .catch((revertReason) => {
    console.log("ERROR! Transaction reverted: " + revertReason.receipt.transactionHash)
  });
}

d. The JSON ABI

Finally, add the JSON ABI.

HelloWorld.json

[
  {
    "inputs": [
      {
        "internalType": "string",
        "name": "hello_",
        "type": "string"
      }
    ],
    "name": "setHello",
    "outputs": [],
    "stateMutability": "nonpayable",
    "type": "function"
  },
  {
    "inputs": [],
    "name": "hello",
    "outputs": [
      {
        "internalType": "string",
        "name": "",
        "type": "string"
      }
    ],
    "stateMutability": "view",
    "type": "function"
  }
]
