Introduction

Current Infrastructure State

By now, we have:

• Created a Subnet-EVM L1 with its genesis file
• Pre-deployed proxy infrastructure at addresses 0xfacade... (proxy) and 0xdad... (admin)
• Placeholder implementation at 0x1212... waiting to be upgraded

If we were to look at our L1, it would like something like this:

Deployment Flow

The deployment process follows a specific sequence designed for safety and clarity:

1. Deploy the Validator Manager implementation - Create the actual contract with validation logic
2. Upgrade the proxy - Point 0xfacade... to our new implementation via the admin at 0xdad...
3. Initialize the configuration - Set up the initial validator set and permissions
4. Activate validation - Enable the contract to start managing validators on the P-Chain
