Signer usually doesn't have enough balance, and sometimes doesn't have it at all.
How do we hold nonce of accounts without Existential Deposit (ED)?

And because of ED, account info can be cleaned up, which means account nonce can be reset to 0, so I think it cannot ensure replay attack when that account is recreated later.

Being discussed here https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/issues/11988

Agree with Shunsuke, meta_call should be left for some other PR in the future, potentially.

+    Native,
+    H160,
+}


Perhaps adding impl Into for enum NativeAndEVM that converts into NativeAndEVMKind is a good idea - you can test the conversion & ensure it's exhaustive.

Probably yes, but may be we can generate *Kind structure from custom origin somehow. I'll investigate later.

This should be removed and pallet should correctly be bounded in relations to PoV size.

Rewritten to make it bounded.

Vec<_> should not be used in storage. Instead, you should use BoundedVec. That way you can also get rid of the without_storage_info macro you used above. This item cannot be unlimited.

Used double-map instead of vector.

Just wondering - why do we even need to store the derived address?

If user would specify Origin kind & index, we could always derive the same address. Is there some security risk that comes with such approach?

Not sure whether it's more computationally expensive to derive the address or read the DB entry.

In case of store derived address we can charge origin creation fee, it looks more secure because it prevents address derivation manipulation using GPU, etc.

As the origin derivation algorithm is deterministic, could we skip the origin registering? The derived origin could be derived just in time in a proxy_call, like:

Account::proxy_call(alice, derive_kind, index, call);

If we do need to cache the derived origin to reduce gas costs, the cache should be cleaned on kill account.

I believe derivation algorithm is just a sample, it not restricted to be deterministic. Account registration helps to prevent spamming and account address manipulation.

@akru what is the usecase behind allowing single account to have multiple derived address of the same type?

The way I see it, it just adds unnecessary complexity.
If we only allow one account type to be derived from the origin, then it's much simpler.
If an account wants to control multiple different derived accounts, it can use proxy to achieve that.

Shaun also commented above(here) about what happens when account is killed. Without any locked or reserved funds, these storage items will remain in the DB even without an owner.

+        }
+    }


Dumb question: is our custom origin deriving meant to derive between H160 and Native? The impl here seems only to derive sub-accounts from their own type.

Yes, to create new origin the call origin must be substrate-compatible.

+        let salted_source = [source.as_ref(), &index.encode()[..]].concat();


I think we can add module id as entropy, probably same to module id in pallet-utilities, to be compatible. https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/blob/f4a2e84ee5974b219f2a03cd195105060c41e3cd/frame/utility/src/lib.rs#LL506C28-L506C28

EDIT: probably not a good idea to be compatible with pallet-utilities. Compatibility with main stream derivation standard is more important

Honestly, at first stage I prefer to give some sample of usage and no more. What’s about derivation standard, it could be easily implemented outside of the pallet.

This is still free - so my comment from 2 months ago is still valid.
You should charge rent fee for these two items since you're inflating the database.

Check how pallet-assets is doing it, or any other pallet in substrate that creates some storage items (e.g. pallet-identity, pallet-multisig, etc.).

Technically, you pay transaction fee to cover it (prevent spam), it’s not required at all, just one of ways to do it. I’m not sure it’s required for the prototype.

My personal opinion - better charge fee than just lock token forever. Charged fee much more controllable, it could be burn, redistributed or whatever you want. But locked deposit is just locked.

The way it's implemented now - sure, that's viable option. It still needs to be added though since it's missing now.

Not sure something is missing now, what precisely you are talking about?

I'm talking about payment for the created storage.

Technically, you pay transaction fee to cover it (prevent spam), it’s not required at all, just one of ways to do it. I’m not sure it’s required for the prototype.

Given that our handling of fees is copy/paste of Polkadot, it is how we do things, isn't it?
Don't understand why this pallet should be any different.
Are you proposing we mix it up, some pallets charging for rent fee, while some don't? 🤷‍♂️

It's been on review for months, and better to do it right immediately then have someone else fix it later, add storage migration logic, etc. Doesn't matter if it's prototype or not, IMO.
