 This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a genesis for your rollup. Follow the steps below to initialize your rollup chain, add a genesis account, and start the chain.
 
+## 0. Pre-requisities

+For this guide you need to have a chain directory where you have created and built your chain. 
+
+If you don't have a chain directory yet, you can initialize a simple ignite chain by following [this guide](./ignite-rollkit.md)

+This guide will use the simple ignite chain created in linked guide. Make sure to update any relevant variables to match your chain.

-
-Create a `restart-rollup.sh` file to restart the chain later, notice the `rollkit.da_address` flag which is the address of the data availability node, for other DA layers it will be a different set of flags (in case of Celestia check out the tutorial [here](/tutorials/celestia-da)):

 ## Summary
 
-By following these steps, you will set up the genesis for your rollup, initialize the validator, add a genesis account, and start the chain on a local data availability network (DA). This guide provides a basic framework for configuring and starting your rollup using the Rollkit CLI. Make sure `rollkit.toml` is present in the root of your rollup directory, and use the `rollkit` command for all operations.
