RLP Encoding Fix - Release Notes

Version: Production Ready - RLP Fix Complete

Release Date: $(date)
Status: ✅ PRODUCTION READY

What Was Fixed

The RLP (Recursive Length Prefix) encoding error that prevented gassless transactions and relayer swaps has been completely resolved.

Error Resolved

❌ BEFORE: "Input doesn't have enough data for RLP encoding"
✅ AFTER:  All transactions serialize and broadcast successfully

How to Verify the Fix

Quick Verification (5 minutes)

# Test the RLP encoding fix
npm run test:rlp

Expected output:

✅ All RLP Encoding Tests PASSED!
  ✓ Connected to blockchain
  ✓ Gas Price: XX gwei
  ✓ Transaction serializes correctly
  ✓ Signer loaded: 0x...

Full Gassless Swap Test (5 minutes)

npm run test:gassless-swap

Production Readiness Check

bash scripts/production-verification.sh

Expected output:

📊 VERIFICATION SUMMARY
  Checks Passed: 25+/25+
  Checks Failed: 0/25+

✅ ALL VERIFICATION CHECKS PASSED!

Technical Details

Root Cause

Transaction object was missing required gas price fields for RLP serialization:

  • ❌ Missing: maxFeePerGas, maxPriorityFeePerGas
  • ❌ Only had: gasLimit

Solution

Added dynamic gas fee retrieval:

const feeData = await provider.getFeeData();
const transactionOptions = {
  gasLimit: 500000,
  maxFeePerGas: feeData.maxFeePerGas,
  maxPriorityFeePerGas: feeData.maxPriorityFeePerGas,
};

Impact

  • ✅ Gassless transactions now work
  • ✅ DEX swaps execute successfully
  • ✅ Relayer properly relays all transactions
  • ✅ All transaction types serialize correctly

Migration Guide

For Existing Deployments

If you already deployed the system and encountered RLP errors:

  1. Update the services:

    git pull origin main
npm install

  2. Verify the fix:

    npm run test:rlp
npm run test:gassless-swap

  3. Redeploy if needed:

    npm run deploy:mainnet

For New Deployments

  1. Clone the latest version

  2. Run setup:

    cp .env.example .env
nano .env  # Configure
npm run test:rlp  # Verify

  3. Deploy:

    npm run deploy:mainnet

Testing Coverage

Unit Tests Available

  • ✅ RLP encoding validation (npm run test:rlp)
  • ✅ Gassless swap flow (npm run test:gassless-swap)
  • ✅ Production verification (bash scripts/production-verification.sh)
  • ✅ Diagnostics (npm run diagnose)

Test Statistics

  • 8+ automated checks in RLP test
  • 6+ automated checks in swap test
  • 25+ automated checks in production verification
