RE: 2nd update of 2022 on BlockTrades work on Hive software

in HiveDevs2 years ago

Cool cool. Just one more clarification. We all know the head block is by far the most unreliable block out there right? With HAF, we DApp developers don't need to wait for say 30-40 secs before deciding if a particular action is part of the block_log? Or would you still suggest that we add a delay of 5-10 blocks if it's a crucial transaction that involves a financial transfer to a DApp account?

Sort:  

You would still want to wait till a block becomes irreversible before performing an action based on it that can't easily be canceled (e.g. a blockchain transfer of funds).

So in such cases, your app might signal that it is planning to make the transfer, but wait for the block to be irreversible before making the transfer.

Thank you for clarifying all my doubts. Looking forward to the release of HAF.
