Having IS/CL data in the Core RPC would likely improve certain use cases, but being able to work around this with separate services is a reasonable trade off until addressed more thoroughly.
I expect this to be implemented in the next week or two. It'll then be included in latest nightlies, and released in v22.1; thanks for the good request, and clear issue!
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
To register an identity in the DashPlatform network, there is a required field of InstantLock or ChainLock buffer in IdentityCreateTransition. You first create and broadcast Core transaction, then wait for InstantLock or ChainLock, and then create and broadcast transaction in the Platform chain with that data.
The problem is in obtaining these lock signatures, because it is only available in the ZMQ, but its not so easy to use on the client, as it is requires a TCP connection and adds a lot of complexity in the client code, making it almost impossible in the web without self-written WebSocket gateways.
Core RPC also misses such information right now, however query methods like
verifychainlock
andverifyislock
are presented (that accepts the same buffer). GetTransaction and GetBlock Core RPC queries already has a boolean field, it would be nice to see an actual buffer there too.Describe the solution you'd like
It would be really great to see instantlock and chainlock buffers in the
gettransaction
andgetblock
RPC responses, but separate query would work as wellAdditional context
