An Introduction to Subjective Billing and Lost Transactions The EOS network is losing transactions. Specifically, nodes on the EOS network occasionally fail to pass a transaction across the network to the currently active block producer. Subjective billing is often the cause of this issue. This article explores the subjective billing feature, why it exists, and the issues with subjective billing that ENF-sponsored working groups identified. We also include a quick reference for preventing these issues. In the future, we will explore existing fixes in more detail, and look at additional features in the Mandel 3.1 release. API+ Working Group Education Series This series of articles will outline the lifecycle of an EOSIO transaction, highlighting the subjective billing feature and the lost transactions it can cause. First, we learned all about subjective billing. Second, we will outline best practices for current smart contract developers and node operators to avoid problems. Last, we will take a look at a few new features in Mandel that will help further mitigate these issues. ➡️ Read on ENF Blog ⬅️ https://eosn.foundation/blog/api-plus-an-introduction-to-subjective-billing-and-lost-transactions/ Share on Social Discuss in the EOS Community Discord Follow ENF Updates on Telegram
