JS SDK Stuck Transaction
Symbiosis JS SDK Stuck Transaction
Any cross-chain operation (a cross-chain swap, a cross-chain zap, interchain communicating, bridging) consists of two transactions:
- 1.One transaction (signed and sent by a user) is on the source blockchain, and
- 2.Another transaction (signed and sent by relayers) is on the destination blockchain.
A stuck transaction (or a stuck cross-chain operation) means that the transaction on the source blockchain has been processed, but there is no transaction on the destination blockchain, or that transaction is failed.
For the user, a stuck operation means that they give away tokens on the source blockchain and get nothing on the destination blockchain.
A cross-chain operation may get stuck due to multiple reasons. In any case, such a situation is an emergency, and users should be able to deal with it.
There is no way to accomplish a stuck cross-chain operation (somehow to push it). Instead, a stuck cross-chain operation can be reverted.
If you are looking for more details on what happens during reverting of stuck transactions, please refer to this document Symbiosis & Emergencies.
Dealing with stuck transactions consists of two steps:
- Find a stuck transaction,
- Revert the stuck transaction.
To find stuck transactions for a specified address, please use
getPendingRequest:const pendingRequests = await symbiosis.getPendingRequests(
address
)
The getPendingRequest method returns a list of objects of PendingRequest type, where revertableAddress equals the specified address.If the
symbiosis.getPendingRequests method returned a non-empty list of objects of PendingRequest type, then for every object from the list, you can revert the operation with the revert method:const revertPending = symbiosis.newRevertPending(request: PendingRequest)
const { fee, execute } = await revertPending.revert()
const { waitForMined } = await execute(signer)
const { receipt, waitForComplete } = await waitForMined()
const log = await waitForComplete()
The
revert method returns:Property | Description |
|---|---|
execute | A function to execute the reverting operation. Calling this function triggers the transaction signing and sends the signed transaction to the blockchain |
fee | An object of TokenAmount type. The amount of tokens to pay the fee for the bridging: the fee for relayers network work. Please refer to Gas Fees for Cross-chain Operations via Symbiosis for more on fee collection. |
transactionRequest | An instance of TransactionRequest type, used in the stateless mode. |
Calling the
execute function returns: - An object
responseofTransactionResponse type - A function
waitForMinedis a function of waiting for the transaction to be mined.
Calling the
waitForMined function returns: - An object
receiptofTransactionReceipt type - A function
waitForCompleteis a function of waiting for getting tokens on the destination blockchain.
The stateless mode (since JS SDK v2.3)
const revertPending = symbiosis.newRevertPending(request)
// transactionRequest contains everything you need to send a transaction by yourself
const { transactionRequest } = await revertPending.revert()
... // Send transaction
// Wait for the transaction to be completed on the destination chain
const log = await revertPending.waitForComplete()
