PostconditionsPost-conditions
  • Amount of signatures in the signed instruction increased by 1 signature
  • Signed instruction disappears from the list of pending instructions for the current user's account
Alternative flow
  • On step 2 the user can select more than one transactions, all of them can be sent on step 4 as as a separate requests
  • The user can skip steps 1 and 2 if he/she already has information about the pending transaction, which was provided by any external integration. Hence, the user need to have possibility to start the use case directly from the step 3 by sending signed transaction without prior queries. (by by Yuriy Vinogradov)
  • On step 3 the user can sign the transaction by more than one signature, and all of them can be sent as a single request per single transaction on step 4. In bridge implementation scenario is: 1. Selected bridge get all bridge instances signatures from the block and calls an Iroha2 ISI with the transfer information, attaching all bridge nodes signatures. It can be implemented as in Iroha1 by sending multple multiple ISI calls in one transaction or batch, or it can be implemented as One ISI call with multiple signatures.   Iurii Vinogradov
Exception flow
  • On step 1, in case of the empty list of pending transactions, the Iroha peer will return corresponding status and the use case flow stops
  • On step 3, if the user uses key pair, which was already used for signing the transaction, the CLI/SDK will return corresponding error status; use case flow stops if there are no more available key pairs.

    For Sora 2 project:

    • normal load: 6 transactions per second (TPS)
    • heavy load: 50 TPS
    • peak load: 1000 TPS

    By 武宮誠

    • target throughput: 20.000 TPS (in the aim to beat competitors)

    Response

    The Iroha peer restarts and restores the WSV in the storage using one of two modes:

    • the fastInit mode, when all transactions are applied without the verification of the block storage consistency
    • the strictInit mode, when all transactions and blocks are verified to have correct signature and follow the business rules
    Response measure

    The Iroha peer successfully restarted, with following metrics:

    • for fastInit mode:
      • restart should take not more than 50 (??) ms per block
