## What's Included in Fjord

The [Fjord network upgrade](https://specs.optimism.io/fjord/overview.html) includes the following:

* [RIP-7212](https://specs.optimism.io/protocol/precompiles.html#P256VERIFY): Precompile for secp256r1 Curve Support, to reduce gas costs of many smart wallet applications.
* [Brotli](https://specs.optimism.io/fjord/derivation.html#brotli-channel-compression) as a channel compression option, for \~5-15% lower data availability costs.
* [FastLZ](https://specs.optimism.io/fjord/exec-engine.html#fees) based L1 fee [cost calculation](https://specs.optimism.io/fjord/exec-engine.html#fees), including an upgraded [`GasPriceOracle` L2 predeploy](https://specs.optimism.io/fjord/derivation.html#gaspriceoracle-deployment) to compute it.
* Parameter changes:
* [Max sequencer drift](https://specs.optimism.io/fjord/derivation.html#constant-maximum-sequencer-drift) becomes a constant with value increased to 1800 seconds
* 10x increased values for `MAX_RLP_BYTES_PER_CHANNEL` and `MAX_CHANNEL_BANK_SIZE` ([spec](https://specs.optimism.io/fjord/derivation.html#increasing-max_rlp_bytes_per_channel-and-max_channel_bank_size))
* The [Fjord hardfork activation block](https://specs.optimism.io/fjord/derivation.html#network-upgrade-automation-transactions) includes several transactions to perform all L2 contract deployments, upgrades, enablements, and proxy updates.
* L1 Gas Cost changes:
* `getL1GasUsed` method of the `GasPriceOracle` contract ([spec](https://specs.optimism.io/fjord/predeploys.html#l1-gas-usage-estimation)) is being deprecated
* the GPO gets a new function `getL1FeeUpperBound` as a cheap new way to calculate an upper bound for the max fee of a new transaction
* `L1GasUsed` field of the transaction receipt ([spec](https://specs.optimism.io/fjord/exec-engine.html)) is being deprecated

## For Wallets and Front-End Developers

The proposed Fjord upgrade to the OP Stack and OP Mainnet changes the formula for estimating the [L1 Data Fee](/stack/transactions/fees#l1-data-fee) component of the [OP Stack Transaction Fee](/stack/transactions/fees).

* `getL1Fee` on the [GasPriceOracle contract](https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/optimism/blob/0dcb1b2c7dadec98a24f47e2e2d781a25800d9e1/packages/contracts-bedrock/src/L2/GasPriceOracle.sol#L54) has been updated. It now performs FastLZ compression on-chain, which is a better approximation of the compressibility of a transaction. Combined with a linear regression model, this gives a more accurate prediction of L1 data fees.
* `getL1GasUsed` and the corresponding `L1GasUsed` field of transaction receipts are being deprecated as they no longer accurately reflect gas usage as of Ecotone. The function and field will remain, however, their usefulness is limited as they still assume calldata batching. `getL1Fee` should be used when trying to predict L1 Data fees.

Outdated
* `getL1FeeUpperBound` is a new method to estimate fee upper bounds when sending transactions. It is much cheaper, in gas costs, than previous methods. This is what wallets and front-ends should probably use in practice.

Your application may need to be updated to account for this change. Read below to learn how you can prepare for Fjord.

### Preparing Your Wallet or Front-End

Changes to the L1 Data Fee formula may affect your application if you are computing this fee component on your own. It's strongly recommended that you use [existing tooling](/builders/app-developers/transactions/estimates#tooling) to estimate transaction fees instead of computing them yourself.

* If you cannot use existing tooling, use the `getL1Fee` function on the `GasPriceOracle` smart contract to compute the L1 Data Fee component of the transaction fee. Avoid implementing the formula yourself, as it may change in the future.
* Alternatively, you might consider using `getL1FeeUpperBound` if you need to estimate the transaction fee and also need to compute the correct value to set when sending transactions.

## For Chain Operators

The proposed Fjord upgrade impacts OP chains and requires chain operators to upgrade their chain and configure the sequencer for Fjord.

* [Max sequencer drift](https://specs.optimism.io/fjord/derivation.html#constant-maximum-sequencer-drift) becomes a constant with value increased to 1800 seconds. This gives chain operators more time to respond to L1 node issues without facing a potential L2 chain halt.
* [Brotli](https://specs.optimism.io/fjord/derivation.html#brotli-channel-compression) is now supported as a channel compression option, for \~5-15% lower data availability costs.
* An update of the fee scalars on the `SystemConfig` is necessary, similar to Ecotone.

<Steps>
### Prepare `SystemConfig` Transaction

An onchain transaction will be required to update the scalar for Fjord. This needs to be prepared days in advance before the activation to ensure chain operators don't operate at a loss when Fjord activates.

* Encode the scalar value using the [ecotone scalar encoding tool](https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/optimism/tree/develop/op-chain-ops/cmd/ecotone-scalar)
* Send a `setGasConfig` transaction to the `SystemConfig`
Comment thread

* Set `BaseFeeScalar` and `BlobBaseFeeScalar` values based on the [Fjord calculator](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1V3CWpeUzXv5Iopw8lBSS8tWoSzyR4PDDwV9cu2kKOrs/edit#gid=186414307)

### Prepare Sequencer Node

<Callout type="warning">
If you are operating an OP Chain that has an entry in the [`superchain-registry`](https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/superchain-registry/blob/main/superchain/configs/chainids.json), the Fjord activation date is part of the `op-node` and `op-geth` nodes. So, no action is needed for the sequencer after preparing the `SystemConfig` **t**ransaction. Please skip to [Step 3: Prepare Batcher](#prepare-batcher).
</Callout>

For custom chains not included in the [`superchain-registry`](https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/superchain-registry/blob/main/superchain/configs/chainids.json), you will need to manually configure the [activation timestamp](https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/superchain-registry/blob/main/superchain/configs/mainnet/superchain.yaml). You have two configuration options for your sequencer node:

* **Option 1:** In your `rollup.json` config file, set `L2GenesisFjordTimeOffset` to the UNIX timestamp of the block you want to activate the Fjord hardfork. You will still need to set the `override.fjord` flag in `op-geth` with the UNIX timestamp.
Comment thread
cpengilly marked this conversation as resolved.
Outdated
* O**ption 2:** Alternatively, chain operators can use the override flags to configure your sequencer node by specifying a time in the future when Fjord will activate.
* Set `override.fjord` in both `op-node` and `op-geth` to the UNIX timestamp of the block you want to activate the Fjord hardfork or corresponding env vars for this.
* In general, run `op-node --help` or `op-geth --help` to see flags, their descriptions and env vars

Comment thread
cpengilly marked this conversation as resolved.
### Prepare Batcher

Prepare your batcher to be restarted with the updated configuration in advance of the Fjord activation. You will also need to activate Brotli compression for the batcher.
Comment thread
cpengilly marked this conversation as resolved.
Outdated

* Run the batcher help to see available options: `go run ./op-batcher/cmd --help |less`

```jsx
--compression-algo value (default: zlib) ($OP_BATCHER_COMPRESSION_ALGO)
The compression algorithm to use. Valid options: zlib, brotli, brotli-9,
brotli-10, brotli-11
```
Comment thread
cpengilly marked this conversation as resolved.
Outdated

* Activate Brotli compression for your batcher. `brotli-10` is the default and works fine for most chain configurations, but chain operators can experiment with `brotli-11` if it gives them better compression and their batcher can still keep up with the increased compression computation needs.

</Steps>

## For Node Operators

Node operators will need to upgrade to Fjord prior to the activation date. For Sepolia, the op-node release [v1.7.7-rc.1](https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/optimism/releases/tag/op-node%2Fv1.7.7-rc.1) and op-geth release v1.101315.1 contain these changes.

These following steps are necessary for EVERY node operator:

<Steps>
### Update to the Latest Release

* [`op-geth`](https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/op-geth/releases/tag/v1.101315.1)
* [`op-node`](https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/optimism/releases/tag/op-node%2Fv1.7.7-rc.1)

### Configure the Fjord Activation Date

<Callout type="warning">
If you are operating a node for an OP Chain that has an entry in the [`superchain-registry`](https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/superchain-registry/blob/main/superchain/configs/chainids.json), the Fjord activation date is part of the `op-node` and `op-geth` nodes. So, no action is needed for the sequencer after upgrading to the latest release. Please skip to [Step 3: Verify Your Configuration](#verify-your-configuration).
</Callout>

For node operators of custom chains not included in the [`superchain-registry`](https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/superchain-registry/blob/main/superchain/configs/chainids.json), you will need to manually configure the [activation timestamp](https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/superchain-registry/blob/main/superchain/configs/mainnet/superchain.yaml). This can be done one of two ways:

* **Option 1:** Set the time in the `rollup.json` (set `fjord_time`) for `op-node`. You will still need to set the `override.fjord` flag in `op-geth` if you use this option.
Comment thread
cpengilly marked this conversation as resolved.
Outdated
* **Option 2:** Set the activation time via overrides (CLI) in both `op-node` and `op-geth`. These will need to be set on `op-node` and `op-geth` for the sequencer and all other nodes.

### Verify Your Configuration

Make the following checks to verify that your node is properly configured.

* `op-node` and `op-geth` will log their configurations at startup
* Check that the Fjord time is set to `activation-timestamp` in the op-node startup logs
* Check that the Fjord time is set to `activation-timestamp` in the op-geth startup logs
