For now, we have our own mechanism to balance transactions that operate on our TxSkel. This does multiple things, depending on our skeleton parameters:
ensure each output is given a minimal amount of ada depending on the output size
compute fees and add them to the transaction
add collaterals to the transaction
balance the transaction
It is well known that this process is complicated and involves a fixpoint because adding fees will increase the size of the transaction, thus possibly requiring more fees and so on. How we currently handle all of this could be improved in many ways:
investigate the use of an external balancing function
add proper collateral amount with return collaterals instead of a single big Utxo
for now, we can only add governance features after balancing on the actual Cardano transaction. This might be an issue if the fees (which we compute before) depend on the presence of Governance elements.
