@anupsdf FYI
the exact structure of the generalized transaction set that the winning validator introduced
Also, how about adding some metrics around the total transactions, min fee, max fee among each lane (tx set) from that winning validators's mempool? This will help analyze the separate lanes better and have insight into any biases or bugs when different tx sets are proposed.
@anupsdf the mempool structure is out of scope of this. I'd like to keep this to what can be verified based on what goes through consensus.
That being said, we should be able to have reports per tier 1 organization of the how fees are distributed and if lanes are being used.
the mapping at the time concensus took place between a validator key and the entity it represents (stellar.toml)
@MonsieurNicolas or @anupsdf is this information written to the ledger close meta during time of consensus? Or would this require us to pull the stellar.toml at runtime to pull the information?
(cc @chowbao)
the mapping at the time concensus took place between a validator key and the entity it represents (stellar.toml) There doesn't seem to be any straightforward and efficient way today to construct this mapping.
It seems to me that a pre-requisite for this work would be hardening SEP 1. If standard on-chain data entries published the hash of a toml and also the toml location off-chain, and if the toml published the validator information and the account, then
The data set relevant to this issue is:
- the exact structure of the generalized transaction set that the winning validator introduced
@MonsieurNicolas when you say exact structure of the generalized transaction set, do you want an aggregated view of the transaction set at the ledger level? For example: classic phase: 2 component(s): [{discounted txs:24, ops:152, base_fee:100}, {discounted txs:429, ops:500, base_fee:51234}], soroban phase: 1 component(s): [{discounted txs:1, ops:1, base_fee:100}]
We save the fee data at the transactional level, so we have the ability to derive the base fee + count of transactions for each base fee. But for ease of use, we can aggregate that data at the ledger level and append to the table, as well.
What problem does your feature solve?
One of the foundations of SCP is that entities can adjust who they trust as validators on the network.
In a system build on trust, there needs to be mechanisms to verify/audit that entities are behaving the way they claim to be.
What would you like to see?
The data set relevant to this issue is:
Some of the reports that become possible:
What alternatives are there?
None, other than implement some other data lake that would contain this data.
