[CHECKLIST] Gadget SDK and Shell Manager

[shekohex]

Gadget SDK

This SDK is primarily to help to have standard modules (a la std) for Gadgets, it will live here in this repo under the sdk directory. We will keep each module behind a feature flag, and a full feature that would enable all of them by default.

• Gadget SDK - libp2p Networking Module #153
• Gadget SDK - Keystore Module #155
• Gadget SDK - Node RPC Client Module #161
• Gadget SDK - Logging Module #156
• [TASK] Gadget SDK - Metrics Module #163
• [CHECKLIST] Gadget SDK - Testing And Benchmarking Modules #162
• [TASK] Job / Task context #200
• Gadget SDK - proc-macro for generating blueprint.json #160

Shell Manager

• [TASK] Shell Manager - Listen for blueprints #157
• [TASK] Shell Manager - Download blueprints #158
• [TASK] Shell Manager - Execute and run gadgets #159

Repo

• [TASK] Improve directory structure and clean repo #164

Get to a point where it's easy to build and integrate for public examples & distribution.

• Relayers for different protocols w/ Tangle (and Eigenlayer) contract templates (for job verification/slashing verification)
• Nodes / infra for different protocols like Chainlink, Hyperlane, etc.
• MPC integrations w/ basic API and onchain job verification/slashing verification

Developer experience should become an easy step-by-step process similar to EL’s that Donovan is running through for example

1. Clone repo or (gadget create)
2. Build your verifiers/slashers
3. Deploy to local w/ tests
4. Deploy to testnet
5. Deploy to mainnet

Then big next milestone is figuring out:

• Service level agreement verification/slashing primitives
• zkVM verification/slashing primitives (macros to automate this)

Recall, we need to prioritize this checklist @tbraun96 @shekohex. If things need to be updated, please jumpstart these conversations.
