`StandardFeeRule` is an enumeration of the standard fees that have
existed in the history of Zcash zips. It is provided to simplify
transition to new fee strategies; legacy elements of this enumeration
are introduced already-deprecated.
The existing API limited change outputs to having only a single memo
repeated across each change output. This change makes it so that each
proposed change output can have its own associated memo, and leaves it
up to the input selector to determine how requested change memos are
associated with change outputs.
In order to use `uint64` for amounts that must be nonnegative in the
`proposal.proto` file, it is useful to update fee and change computation
to use `NonNegativeAmount` where possible.
When scanning, a wallet only needs to update balance and transaction
information shown to users when the scan has resulted in a change to
wallet state. This modifies `scan_cached_blocks` to return the range of
block heights actually scanned, along with the counts of notes spent and
received by the wallet in that range.
Fixes#918
The intent of this API is to provide a single API which returns in a
single call:
* per-account balances, including pending values
* wallet sync progress
Fixes#865Fixes#900
This also removes the zcash_client_sqlite-specific database
initialization procedures in favor of a standardized approach using the
methods available via the data access API.
The `zcash_client_backend::proto::service::compact_tx_streamer_client`
is now the only module controlled by that feature flag, exposing the
service types for use by parsers.
Prior to the scan-before-sync changes, the wallet was able to assume
that the maximum scanned block height at the time of the spend was
within a few blocks of the chain tip. However, under linear scanning
after the spend-before-sync changes this invariant no longer holds,
resulting in a situation where in linear sync conditions the wallet
could attempt to create transactions with already-past expiry heights.
This change separates the notion of "chain tip" from "max scanned
height", relying upon the `scan_queue` table to maintain the wallet's
view of the consensus chain height and using information from the
`blocks` table only in situations where the latest and/or earliest
scanned height is required.
As part of this change, the `WalletRead` interface is also modified to
disambiguate these concepts.
Previously this was not clearly specified, and the implementations in
`zcash_client_sqlite` behaved similarly to when `from_height = None`.
Closeszcash/librustzcash#892.
In general, it is preferable to use globally relevant identifiers where
possible. This PR removes the `WalletRead::TxRef` associated type in
favor of using `TxId` directly for the transaction identifier, and
restricts the use of the `NoteRef` type to those scenarios where the
result of one query is intended to be used directly as the input to
another query.
Closes#834
This implements a priority queue backed by the wallet database for scan
range ordering. The scan queue is updated on each call to `put_blocks`
or to `update_chain_tip`.
Instead of calling `put_block` for each block scanned,
`scan_cached_blocks` will now defer the block writes until the scan of a
batch is complete and will perform the block writes and note commitment
tree updates all within a single transaction.
This should ordinarily be fine in terms of memory consumption, because
the block data being saved is pruned to only that spend an output
information that is related to transactions in the wallet, which will
normally be sparse enough that the block range size that is appropriate
for a given platform to run within a batch scanner adequately bounds the
memory consumption of this pruned representation.
There are cases where we wish to return informaiton that is relevant to
a specific shielded protocol and `Transparent` is an invalid case. This
is a minor preparatory refactoring that makes this distinction
expressible.
In preparation for out-of-order range-based scanning, it is necessary
to ensure that the size of the Sapling note commitment tree is carried
along through the scan process and that stored blocks are always
persisted with the updated note commitment tree size.
Local chain validation will be performed internal to
`scan_cached_blocks`, and as handling of chain reorgs will need to
change to support out-of-order scanning, the `validate_chain` method
will be superfluous. It is removed in advance of other changes in order
to avoid updating it to reflect the forthcoming changes.
This better reflects the semantics of wallet behavior. Also, this
adds a `zcash_client_backend::WalletRead::get_min_unspent_height`
method that replaces the deprecated & removed (and misleadingly
named) `get_rewind_height` method.
This change makes it possible for wallets using the
`zcash_client_backend::data_api::wallet` module to perform transaction
preparation, including input selection and fee calculation, as an
independent step prior to creating proofs and signatures. This can be
used to improve user experience by making it possible to report the
proposed effects of the transaction to the wallet user (including
privacy implications) prior to authorizing the transaction.
This allows callers to validate smaller intervals of the given
`BlockSourceT` shortening processing times of the function call at the
expense of obtaining a partial result on a given section of interest of
the block source.
`params: &ParamsT` has been removed from the arguments since they were
only needed to fall back to `sapling_activation_height` when `None` as
passed as the `validate_from` argument. Passing `None` as validation
start point on a pre-populated `block_source` would result in an error
`ChainError::block_height_discontinuity(sapling_activation_height - 1, current_height)`
With this new API callers must specify a concrete `validate_from`
argument and assume that `validate_chain` will not take any default
fallbacks to chain `ParamsT`.
The addition of a `limit` to the chain validation function changes the
meaning of its successful output, being now a `BlockHeight, BlockHash)`
tuple indicating the block height and block hash up to which the chain
as been validated on its continuity of heights and hashes. Callers
providing a `limit` aregument are responsible of subsequent calls to
`validate_chain()` to complete validating the remaining blocks stored on
the `block_source`.

The MSRVs of the component crates are left as-is, partly because our
dependencies don't require us to bump them, and partly because those
crates have no pending changes and are relatively stable. We also plan
to split the component crates out into a separate repository, where it
will be easier to have a separate MSRV.
Closeszcash/librustzcash#759.
The change selection algorithm has the most useful information for
determining whether or not a note is dust, so this adds a new error case
to `ChangeError` that allows the change selection to report the presence
of input notes without economic value back to its caller.
This adds a set of abstractions that allow wallets to provide
independent strategies for fee estimation and note selection, and
implementations of these strategies that perform these operations in the
same fashion as the existing `spend` and `shield_transparent_funds`
functions.
This required a somewhat hefty rework of the error handling in
zcash_client_backend. It fixes an issue with the error types whereby
callees needed to have a bit too much information about the error
types produced by their callers.
Reflect the updated note selection and error handling in zcash_client_sqlite.
This adds a fee calculation strategy abstraction that can be used to
dynamically compute fees so that the total fees required may be taken
taken into account during note selection, and also removes automatic
change creation from the transaction builder.
Change outputs must now be directly created by the caller by the caller.
This is a necessary prerequisite for permitting fees to adjust based
upon the contents of the transaction being constructed.
The initial implementation of the fee strategy simply uses the current
default fee.
