Learning objectives

  • 01Publish a blob into a chosen namespace
  • 02Retrieve a namespace in full, with its proof
  • 03Compute the publication cost of a given volume

Guided lab

Publish a series of blobs and retrieve them in full with completeness verification.

Independent lab

Measure the publication cost of one day's activity for a realistic application rollup.

Security angle

A namespace is not private: anyone can write to it, and anyone can read it.

Assessment

Verified publication and retrieval, with a cost record.
