ASI 2.0

[thewhaleking]

Major release that breaks from old API compatibility.

Will include:

• proper SS58 decoding
• one single encoder/decoder (currently use py-scale-codec and bt-decode)
• Abandon ScaleObj in favour of the cyscale.ScaleType, but improved with the typing of ScaleObj
  • this should apply to everything besides query_map, which should use cyscale batch decode
• ExtrinsicReceipt's events should be the same type as get_events
  • get_events currently uses legacy scaletypes, because making it work with batching from bt-decode was a mess, but this may no longer be the case in cyscale. Will need to investigate.
• ????

Tracking branch: https://github.com/opentensor/async-substrate-interface/tree/release/2.0.0

Bittensor/btcli tests will be skipped until their equivalents have been created/updated

Hey @thewhaleking, I'm really interested in your project and want to contribute. I'd like to take on the ScaleObj → cyscale.ScaleType migration from the ASI 2.0 checklist.

I've gone through the codebase and PR #284, so I understand how ScaleObj is wired in today.

Before I start, a couple of quick questions:

1. Should I branch off release/2.0.0 after use cyscale #284 merges, or can I start in parallel?
2. For adding the Generic[T] typing onto cyscale.ScaleType - subclass, wrapper, or something else?

Happy to open a draft PR once I know the direction. Let me know!

Appreciate the enthusiasm, but I'm cyscale is still developing. So just hold off for now.

Got it, thanks. I'll hold off. Would you mind giving me a heads up when cyscale is stable enough to start on the ScaleObj migration? Happy to pick it up then. 😉
