Golos dApp v2.0.1 Release Notes
Golos dApp v2.0.1 Release Notes
Version v2.0.1 contains changes to eliminate the problem appearing after changing a rewards curve when paying funds to authors and curators for posts.
Problem description
There is a special pool in the golos.publication smart contract for payment of rewards to authors and curators. Rewards for posts are paid in accordance with the specified function — the rewards curve. After a recent change of this curve, golos.publication contract began to use all the funds that were on its balance sheet for the new rewards pool.
As a result, there was a discrepancy between amount of funds on the contract balance and amount of funds that were distributed between the old and new pools of rewards with the specified function.
Solution to the problem
The reason for such behavior of the contract was incorrectly specified accuracy of rewards calculation in formed transactions. The @golosio team fixed transaction formation to change the curve for calculating rewards. In addition, this team added a check for accuracy to the setrules action. However, these fixes did not resolve the problem completely. It was also required to balance the pools within the contract.
To finally fix the problem the new action syncpool was added to the golos.publication contract. This action redistributes the funds available on the golos.publication balance sheet between existing reward pools. Redistribution is performed taking into account the total rshares of all posts located in these pools.
Note: the syncpool action can be performed only by application leaders.
