[SPIKE][Consensus] ProposalBlock Bloat Reduction #1505

Open jessicadaugherty opened 1 year ago

jessicadaugherty commented 1 year ago

Objective

Tendermint stores invalid txs which can result in block bloat. Bloat can be reduced by blocking/removing invalid txs from chain but kept in memory.

Origin Document

Overview of Replay Events

Goal

Reduce bloat block from invalid txs
Prevent rewards being produced for invalid txs
Store invalid txs in memory for identifying invalid tx behavioral patterns

Deliverable

Remove/block invalid txs by pre-processing proposals from the proposer (remove = send to memory and take fee, block = txs without balance to cover fees [i.e. no tx is produced or stored])
Store removed invalid claims in memory, not the block

Non-goals / Non-deliverables

Blocklisting/otherwise penalizing invalid txs

General issue deliverables

[ ] Update any relevant READMEs (local and/or global)
[ ] Update any relevant global documentation & references
[ ] If applicable, update the source code tree explanation

This needs to be researched to determine feasibility and outline risks before being a dev candidate
