    FVM issues brought by Medusa

    Context

    In the course of trying to deploy Medusa to FVM, we have encountered several issues that are actually blockers for us to deploy Medusa. We have documented each issues in depth and worked with the FVM team as far as possible to solve them when possible.

    The issues concern mostly the usage of logs, enabling smart contract to issue “external events” that are picked up by applications. It is an essential part of the EVM stack that many dapps are using.

    List of Errors

    These errors have been observed, but require more information in order to create an issue

    RPC incompatibility with “message” field + RPC infrastructure (failure to get peer)

    This one has two errors, one is that message should not be used in an RPC response because it breaks ethers-rs. “message” is used to signify that there was an error in the RPC, in this case the error message is failure to get a peer from the ring-balancer

    • RPC incompatibility: Should not use field messagein RPC response
      • Caused by failure to get a peer from the ring-balancer
    RPC method: eth_blockNumber
