Feat: multiframe altda channel

Open samlaf opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Description

Currently altda forces using "calldata" channels, which restrict their txData output to a single frame at a time. EigenDA (and probably other altdas) support larger blobs than the default 128KB frame size. This PR allows channels to have the altDA da type, which allows them to output a much larger number of frames when queried for txData. These frames are then concatenated and sent as a large blob to the altda source.

Tests

No new tests because there isn't really any change in behaviour here since this is a small repurpose of frame concatenation logic that was already there (curious to see if the ci here will pass). The derivation pipeline also doesn't need any changes because it already can read multiple concatenated frames. Perhaps an e2e test to show that an op-node is able to derive the concatenated frames would be useful though?

Additional context

An alternative here would have been to still read single frame at a time, but increase the MaxL1FrameSize variable. This approach requires more changes, and the derivation pipeline also has hardcoded limits which would have needed to change. Also keeping small frames allows fallbacking to ethDA automatically if ever needed, potentially even inside a single channel.
