Validator Staked Wallet Has SHM Balance Decrease In 0.01 SHM Increments Over Time

[hansfzlorenzana]

What is the issue?

I noticed that my SHM balance keeps on decreasing over time after running a validator node. I haven't rotated into 'active' status yet and is still on 'standby'. There are only two transactions on my address: Transfer method (received 15 SHM from faucet) and Staking method.

What impact does the issue have?

I am not exactly sure if it affects every user on Sphinx network. 

How to reproduce the issue?

Again, I'm not sure how but here's what I've done.
- Run a node
- Request from faucet
- Stake
- 'Standby' status, never been on 'active'

I noticed it's decreasing after staking.

Address: https://explorer-sphinx.shardeum.org/address/0x7c5fbb1af2adad3b7665f2001bd429330a5cd643	Event	Amount	Fee	Balance
Before running node			0 SHM
Faucet	+ 15 SHM		15 SHM
Staking	- 14 SHM	-0.01 SHM	0.98 SHM
,	,	,	0.86 SHM - yesterday
,	,	,	0.46 SHM - today
,	,	,	0.45 SHM - today
,	,	,	0.43 SHM - current

Current balance is 0.43 SHM. Please validate if it decreases again.

What other resources can you share regarding this issue?

[MarcusWentz]

Did you notice this issue on Betanet 1.1 as well?

[MarcusWentz]

This issue still seems present in Betanet 1.1 as reported here:

[MarcusWentz]

There is a potential bug fix coming soon for this it sounds like.

Once the potential bug fix is added, we can check if the issue still exists.

[MarcusWentz]

Please update your validator to version 1.1.1.

Here's what you need to do:

1. Stop and unstake your validator.
2. If you're within the Validator CLI:

exit

then:

cd ..

3. Enter:

curl -O https://gitlab.com/shardeum/validator/dashboard/-/raw/main/installer.sh && chmod +x installer.sh && ./installer.sh

4. Start the validator.
5. Stake 10 SHM.

@AndreiW3b3

What is your wallet address?

@AndreiW3b3

I see your wallet has sufficient funds on the Betanet 1.1 Explorer:

https://explorer-sphinx.shardeum.org/account/0x7eb1dd4ec345df607885597ec9f8aefb4eeeed4a

There are some RPC issues related to validators causing wallets to randomly detect 0 SHM. We are investigating this issue.

Can you transfer SHM between wallets as a test or does that transaction fail?

[AndreiW3b3]

@MarcusWentz first 2 attempts it did not work. did even show as a failed transactio

this is the one that it wokerd https://www.loom.com/share/508a3d25d0614bb9983811e9c3b75eab

[MarcusWentz]

The RPC issue seems to be causing transfers to fail as well.

Once transfers are stable, other transactions should be stable as well.

[MarcusWentz]

Closing this issue since it seems resolved.
