Known Limitations and Notes

Limitations

  1. Archive Capacity: Maximum 1,000 concurrent archived markets (prevents unbounded growth)
  2. No Auto-Expiry: Archived entries must be manually pruned (intentional design)
  3. Restore is Optional: Restore functionality available but not required
  4. Version 1: Restore entries support version 1 (future versions supported via validation)

Design Notes

  1. Idempotency: Duplicate archive/restore rejected (not silently ignored)
  2. Atomic Storage: All state updates are atomic (Soroban guarantee)
  3. Deterministic Pruning: Oldest-first based on timestamp (no randomness)
  4. Event Topics: Separate topics (arch_trn, rest_trn) for filtering

Future Enhancements (Out of Scope)

  1. Auto-expiry of archived entries based on age
  2. Batch archive/restore operations
  3. Restore to custom state (not just Restored)
  4. Archive analytics and statistics
  5. Archive compression or tiering

Deployment Checklist

Before deploying to production:

  • Run full test suite: cargo test
  • Build release artifact: cargo build --release --target wasm32v1-none
  • Verify WASM hash: sha256sum target/wasm32v1-none/release/*.wasm
  • Review all error codes (442, 444, 445, 446)
  • Verify admin address initialization
  • Test archive capacity limits (1,000 max)
  • Verify event emission in testnet
  • Document in release notes
  • Plan rollback strategy if issues arise
