Hi,
When one uses a full-node wallet like Daedalus, the wallet owner signs their transactions with their secret keys and the signed transactions get submitted into the network.
Thanks for reading guys.
This is basically the same as other cryptos.
When a tx is submitted to a local node, the local node broadcasts it to the network. The pool node scheduled to make the next block then adds it.
Hi @erikd ,
Thanks for the reply.
According to the official networking specification, “tx-submission” mini-protocol is a pull-based protocol where a node requests other nodes if there are any new transactions around.
This seems to be contradicting to your “broadcast” statement which is a push-based protocol.
From my understanding pending transactions are pulled and pulled until it reaches to a slot leader block producer where it gets added into a block.
However, I am having a hard time understanding how a transaction signed and submitted to my local node through Daedalus is able to propagate through the network even though my local node is behind a private subnet where there are no ways for other public relay nodes to reach me.
Thanks for the response again.
Today I learned. In other cryptos, txs are indeed broadcast. Seems ADA chose a slightly different route to achieve the same effect. I do not work on the networking team, so its possibly not too surprising I did not know the exact details.
Glad you have the definative explanation now.
Hi @erikd ,
No worries!
Thanks for the kind response though!
Would you be able to guide me to any personnel who might have deeper insight into this question?
