Overview
To launch your Hyperlane deployment into a production environment, follow these steps to set up your chain’s core deployment and configure warp route deployments.
1. Core Deployment
To begin you’ll need to set up and productionize the core components of your Hyperlane deployment.
Update Mailbox Default ISM
Update the Interchain Security Module (ISM) associated with the Mailbox contract. The ISM acts as a critical security layer, verifying messages between chains. Ensure that the default ISM settings align with your security requirements.
Transfer Mailbox Ownership
Transfer ownership of the Mailbox contract to a production-ready owner account. This step secures the Mailbox by ensuring only trusted parties have control over its configuration.
2. Warp Route Deployment
Remove Trusted Relayer
Remove any test or development relayers that may have been configured initially. In production, ensure that only trusted, secure relayers are used to prevent unauthorized message relaying.
Transfer Warp Route Ownership
Transfer ownership of the Warp Route to the designated production owner. This step ensures that only trusted parties have control over critical Warp Route settings, such as ISM configurations, Validator options, and relayer settings.
