Motivation: In the current OrbiterSDK setup, several global parameters such as genesis block, initial validator list, chain owner address, and initial balance list are hard-coded into the codebase. This rigid configuration hampers the flexibility needed to test the SDK against various settings and impedes the ease of initializing different blockchain scenarios. This proposed change aims to enhance the SDK's adaptability and user-friendliness by aligning it with contemporary best practices in blockchain development.
Objective: The primary goal is to identify and relocate all global parameters to the 'Options' class. This transition will centralize configuration management, making it more streamlined and intuitive for developers to customize and experiment with different blockchain configurations.
Success Criteria: The successful completion of this objective will be marked by the full integration of all global parameters into the 'Options' class. This will enable developers to effortlessly instantiate new chains with varied settings.
Dependencies: This change does not necessitate the introduction of new libraries or external dependencies.
Risks and Mitigations: The key risk involves extensive refactoring across various components of the codebase, such as Storage, State, and rdPoS. To mitigate this, a thorough and methodical approach should be adopted, ensuring that each global parameter is accurately identified and migrated. Additional focus will be required on updating and rigorously testing each component to guarantee that the relocations are correctly implemented without any regressions.
Resource Allocation: This initiative requires a comprehensive audit of the codebase to pinpoint all instances of global parameters. Given the widespread impact of this change, meticulous attention to detail is imperative to avoid overlooking any parameters. Testing procedures will need to be thoroughly revised and expanded to integrate the migration of all parameters.
