      Rework the event system of `sc-network` (#1370) · e71c484d
      Aaro Altonen authored 
      This commit introduces a new concept called `NotificationService` which
allows Polkadot protocols to communicate with the underlying
notification protocol implementation directly, without routing events
through `NetworkWorker`. This implies that each protocol has its own
service which it uses to communicate with remote peers and that each
`NotificationService` is unique with respect to the underlying
notification protocol, meaning `NotificationService` for the transaction
protocol can only be used to send and receive transaction-related
notifications.

The `NotificationService` concept introduces two additional benefits:
  * allow protocols to start using custom handshakes
  * allow protocols to accept/reject inbound peers

Previously the validation of inbound connections was solely the
responsibility of `ProtocolController`. This caused issues with light
peers and `SyncingEngine` as `ProtocolController` would accept more
peers than `SyncingEngine` could accept which caused peers to have
differing views of their own states. `SyncingEngine` would reject excess
peers but these rejections were not properly communicated to those peers
causing them to assume that they were accepted.

With `NotificationService`, the local handshake is not sent to remote
peer if peer is rejected which allows it to detect that it was rejected.

This commit also deprecates the use of `NetworkEventStream` for all
notification-related events and going forward only DHT events are
provided through `NetworkEventStream`. If protocols wish to follow each
other's events, they must introduce additional abtractions, as is done
for GRANDPA and transactions protocols by following the syncing protocol
through `SyncEventStream`.

      Adds syntax for marking calls feeless (#1926) · 60c77a2e
      gupnik authored 
      Fixes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/1725



This PR adds the following changes:
1. An attribute `pallet::feeless_if` that can be optionally attached to
a call like so:
```rust
#[pallet::feeless_if(|_origin: &OriginFor<T>, something: &u32| -> bool {
	*something == 0
})]
pub fn do_something(origin: OriginFor<T>, something: u32) -> DispatchResult {
     ....
}
```
The closure passed accepts references to arguments as specified in the
call fn. It returns a boolean that denotes the conditions required for
this call to be "feeless".

2. A signed extension `SkipCheckIfFeeless<T: SignedExtension>` that
wraps a transaction payment processor such as
`pallet_transaction_payment::ChargeTransactionPayment`. It checks for
all calls annotated with `pallet::feeless_if` to see if the conditions
are met. If so, the wrapped signed extension is not called, essentially
making the call feeless.

In order to use this, you can simply replace your existing signed
extension that manages transaction payment like so:
```diff
- pallet_transaction_payment::ChargeTransactionPayment<Runtime>,
+ pallet_skip_feeless_payment::SkipCheckIfFeeless<
+	Runtime,
+	pallet_transaction_payment::ChargeTransactionPayment<Runtime>,
+ >,
```

- [x] rename the `simple` module to `legacy`
- [x] fix benchmarks to disregard the number of additional fields
- [x] change the storage deposits to charge per encoded byte of the
identity information instance, removing the need for `fn
additional(&self) -> usize` in `IdentityInformationProvider`
- [x] ~add an extrinsic to rejig deposits to account for the change

- [x] remove `IdentityFields` from the `set_fields` extrinsic signature,
as per [this
discussion](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1661#discussion_r1371703403)

> ensure through proper configuration that the new byte-based deposit is
always lower than whatever is reserved now

Not sure this is needed anymore. If the new deposits are higher than
what is currently on chain and users don't have enough funds to reserve
what is needed, the extrinisc fails and they're basically grandfathered
and frozen until they add more funds and/or make a change to their
identity. This behavior seems fine to me. Original idea
[here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1661#issuecomment-1779606319).

> add an extrinsic to rejig deposits to account for the change above

This was initially implemented but now removed from this PR in favor of
the implementation detailed

      `sc-block-builder`: Remove `BlockBuilderProvider` (#2099) · ca5f1056
      Bastian Köcher authored 
      The `BlockBuilderProvider` was a trait that was defined in
`sc-block-builder`. The trait was implemented for `Client`. This
basically meant that you needed to import `sc-block-builder` any way to
have access to the block builder. So, this trait was not providing any
real value. This pull request is removing the said trait. Instead of the
trait it introduces a builder for creating a `BlockBuilder`. The builder
currently has the quite fabulous name `BlockBuilderBuilder` (I'm open to
any better name 😅

). The rest of the pull request is about
replacing the old trait with the new builder.

# Downstream code changes

If you used `new_block` or `new_block_at` before you now need to switch
it over to the new `BlockBuilderBuilder` pattern:

```rust
// `new` requires a type that implements `CallApiAt`. 
let mut block_builder = BlockBuilderBuilder::new(client)
                // Then you need to specify the hash of the parent block the block will be build on top of
		.on_parent_block(at)
                // The block builder also needs the block number of the parent block. 
                // Here it is fetched from the given `client` using the `HeaderBackend`
                // However, there also exists `with_parent_block_number` for directly passing the number
		.fetch_parent_block_number(client)
		.unwrap()
                // Enable proof recording if required. This call is optional.
		.enable_proof_recording()
                // Pass the digests. This call is optional.
                .with_inherent_digests(digests)
		.build()
		.expect("Creates new block builder");
```

      [NPoS] Paging reward payouts in order to scale rewardable nominators (#1189) · 00b85c51
      Ankan authored 
      helps https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/439.
closes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/473.

PR link in the older substrate repository:
https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/13498.

# Context
Rewards payout is processed today in a single block and limited to
`MaxNominatorRewardedPerValidator`. This number is currently 512 on both
Kusama and Polkadot.

This PR tries to scale the nominators payout to an unlimited count in a
multi-block fashion. Exposures are stored in pages, with each page
capped to a certain number (`MaxExposurePageSize`). Starting out, this
number would be the same as `MaxNominatorRewardedPerValidator`, but
eventually, this number can be lowered through new runtime upgrades to
limit the rewardeable nominators per dispatched call instruction.

The changes in the PR are backward compatible.

## How payouts would work like after this change
Staking exposes two calls, 1) the existing `payout_stakers` and 2)
`payout_stakers_by_page`.

### payout_stakers
This remains backward compatible with no signature change. If for a
given era a validator has multiple pages, they can call `payout_stakers`
multiple times. The pages are executed in an ascending sequence and the
runtime takes care of preventing double claims.

### payout_stakers_by_page
Very similar to `payout_stakers` but also accepts an extra param
`page_index`. An account can choose to payout rewards only for an
explicitly passed `page_index`.

**Lets look at an example scenario**
Given an active validator on Kusama had 1100 nominators,
`MaxExposurePageSize` set to 512 for Era e. In order to pay out rewards
to all nominators, the caller would need to call `payout_stakers` 3
times.

- `payout_stakers(origin, stash, e)` => will pay the first 512
nominators.
- `payout_stakers(origin, stash, e)` => will pay the second set of 512
nominators.
- `payout_stakers(origin, stash, e)` => will pay the last set of 76
nominators.
...
- `payout_stakers(origin, stash, e)` => calling it the 4th time would
return an error `InvalidPage`.

The above calls can also be replaced by `payout_stakers_by_page` and
passing a `page_index` explicitly.

## Commission note
Validator commission is paid out in chunks across all the pages where
each commission chunk is proportional to the total stake of the current
page. This implies higher the total stake of a page, higher will be the
commission. If all the pages of a validator's single era are paid out,
the sum of commission paid to the validator across all pages should be
equal to what the commission would have been if we had a non-paged
exposure.

### Migration Note
Strictly speaking, we did not need to bump our storage version since
there is no migration of storage in this PR. But it is still useful to
mark a storage upgrade for the following reasons:

- New storage items are introduced in this PR while some older storage
items are deprecated.
- For the next `HistoryDepth` eras, the exposure would be incrementally
migrated to its corresponding paged storage item.
- Runtimes using staking pallet would strictly need to wait at least
`HistoryDepth` eras with current upgraded version (14) for the migration
to complete. At some era `E` such that `E >
era_at_which_V14_gets_into_effect + HistoryDepth`, we will upgrade to
version X which will remove the deprecated storage items.
In other words, it is a strict requirement that E<sub>x</sub> -
E<sub>14</sub> > `HistoryDepth`, where
E<sub>x</sub> = Era at which deprecated storages are removed from
runtime,
E<sub>14</sub> = Era at which runtime is upgraded to version 14.
- For Polkadot and Kusama, there is a [tracker
ticket](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/433) to clean
up the deprecated storage items.

### Storage Changes

#### Added
- ErasStakersOverview
- ClaimedRewards
- ErasStakersPaged

#### Deprecated
The following can be cleaned up after 84 eras which is tracked
[here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/433).

- ErasStakers.
- ErasStakersClipped.
- StakingLedger.claimed_rewards, renamed to
StakingLedger.legacy_claimed_rewards.

### Config Changes
- Renamed MaxNominatorRewardedPerValidator to MaxExposurePageSize.

      Expose collection attributes from `Inspect` trait (#1914) · 0bcebac4
      Dastan authored 
      # Description

- What does this PR do?

While working with `pallet_nfts` through `nonfungibles_v2` traits
`Inspect, Mutate`, I found out that once you have set the collection
attribute with `<Nfts as Mutate>::set_collection_attribute()`, it's not
possible to read it with `<Nfts as Inspect>::collection_attribute()`
since they use different `namespace` values. When setting the attribute,
`AttributeNamespace::Pallet` is used, while
`AttributeNamespace::CollectionOwner` is used when reading.

more context:
https://github.com/freeverseio/laos/issues/7#issuecomment-1766137370

This PR makes `item` an optional parameter in
`Inspect::system_attribute()`, to be able to read collection attributes.

- Why are these changes needed?

To be able to read collection level attributes when reading attributes
of the collection. It will be possible to read collection attributes by
passing `None` for `item`

- How were these changes implemented and what do they affect?

`NftsApi` is also affected and `NftsApi::system_attribute()` now accepts
optional `item` parameter.

## Breaking change

Because of the change in the `NftsApi::system_attribute()` method's
`item` param, parachains who integrated the `NftsApi` need to update
their API code and frontend integrations accordingly. AssetHubs are
unaffected since the NftsApi wasn't released on those parachains yet.

      Make `IdentityInfo` generic in `pallet-identity` (#1661) · 91851951
      georgepisaltu authored 
      Fixes #179 

# Description

This PR makes the structure containing identity information used in
`pallet-identity` generic through the pallet `Config`. Additionally, the
old structure is now available in a separate module called `simple`
(pending rename) and is compatible with the new interface.

Another change in this PR is that while the `additional` field in
`IdentityInfo` stays for backwards compatibility reasons, the associated
costs are stil present in the pallet through the `additional` function
in the `IdentityInformationProvider` interface. This function is marked
as deprecated as it is only a temporary solution to the backwards
compatibility problem we had. In short, we could have removed the
additional fields in the struct and done a migration, but we chose to
wait and do it off-chain through the genesis of the system parachain.
After we move the identity pallet to the parachain, additional fields
will be migrated into the existing fields and the `additional` key-value
store will be removed. Until that happens, this interface will provide
the necessary information to properly account for the associated costs.

Additionally, this PR fixes an unrelated issue; the `IdentityField` enum
used to represent the fields as bitflags couldn't store more than 8
fields, even though it was marked as `#[repr(u64)]`. This was because of
the `derive` implementation of `TypeInfo`, which assumed `u8` semantics.
The custom implementation of this trait in
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/commit/0105cc0396b7a53d0b290f48b1225847f6d17321


fixes the issue.

## Breaking Changes

This PR introduces a new item to `pallet_balances::Config`:

```diff
trait Config {
++    type RuntimeFreezeReasons;
}
```

This value is only used to check it against `type MaxFreeze`. A similar
check has been added for `MaxHolds` against `RuntimeHoldReasons`, which
is already given to `pallet_balances`.

In all contexts, you should pass the real `RuntimeFreezeReasons`
generated by `construct_runtime` to `type RuntimeFreezeReasons`. Passing
`()` would also work, but it would imply that the runtime uses no
freezes at all.

      `xcm`: Change `TypeInfo::path` to not include `staging` (#1948) · f3bf5c1a
      Bastian Köcher authored 
      The `xcm` crate was renamed to `staging-xcm` to be able to publish it to
crates.io as someone as squatted `xcm`. The problem with this rename is
that the `TypeInfo` includes the crate name which ultimately lands in
the metadata. The metadata is consumed by downstream users like
`polkadot-js` or people building on top of `polkadot-js`. These people
are using the entire `path` to find the type in the type registry. Thus,
their code would break as the type path would now be [`staging_xcm`,
`VersionedXcm`] instead of [`xcm`, `VersionedXcm`]. This pull request
fixes this by renaming the path segment `staging_xcm` to `xcm`.

This requires: https://github.com/paritytech/scale-info/pull/197

>.

This adds all the necessary mixnet components, and puts them together in
the "kitchen-sink" node/runtime. The components added are:

- A pallet (`frame/mixnet`). This is responsible for determining the
current mixnet session and phase, and the mixnodes to use in each
session. It provides a function that validators can call to register a
mixnode for the next session. The logic of this pallet is very similar
to that of the `im-online` pallet.
- A service (`client/mixnet`). This implements the core mixnet logic,
building on the `mixnet` crate. The service communicates with other
nodes using notifications sent over the "mixnet" protocol.
- An RPC interface. This currently only supports sending transactions
over the mixnet.

      Treasury spends various asset kinds (#1333) · cb944dc5
      Muharem Ismailov authored 
      

### Summary 

This PR introduces new dispatchables to the treasury pallet, allowing
spends of various asset types. The enhanced features of the treasury
pallet, in conjunction with the asset-rate pallet, are set up and
enabled for Westend and Rococo.

### Westend and Rococo runtimes.

Polkadot/Kusams/Rococo Treasury can accept proposals for `spends` of
various asset kinds by specifying the asset's location and ID.

#### Treasury Instance New Dispatchables:
- `spend(AssetKind, AssetBalance, Beneficiary, Option<ValidFrom>)` -
propose and approve a spend;
- `payout(SpendIndex)` - payout an approved spend or retry a failed
payout
- `check_payment(SpendIndex)` - check the status of a payout;
- `void_spend(SpendIndex)` - void previously approved spend;
> existing spend dispatchable renamed to spend_local

in this context, the `AssetKind` parameter contains the asset's location
and it's corresponding `asset_id`, for example:
`USDT` on `AssetHub`,
``` rust
location = MultiLocation(0, X1(Parachain(1000)))
asset_id = MultiLocation(0, X2(PalletInstance(50), GeneralIndex(1984)))
```

the `Beneficiary` parameter is a `MultiLocation` in the context of the
asset's location, for example
``` rust
// the Fellowship salary pallet's location / account
FellowshipSalaryPallet = MultiLocation(1, X2(Parachain(1001), PalletInstance(64)))
// or custom `AccountId`
Alice = MultiLocation(0, AccountId32(network: None, id: [1,...]))
```

the `AssetBalance` represents the amount of the `AssetKind` to be
transferred to the `Beneficiary`. For permission checks, the asset
amount is converted to the native amount and compared against the
maximum spendable amount determined by the commanding spend origin.

the `spend` dispatchable allows for batching spends with different
`ValidFrom` arguments, enabling milestone-based spending. If the
expectations tied to an approved spend are not met, it is possible to
void the spend later using the `void_spend` dispatchable.

Asset Rate Pallet provides the conversion rate from the `AssetKind` to
the native balance.

#### Asset Rate Instance Dispatchables:
- `create(AssetKind, Rate)` - initialize a conversion rate to the native
balance for the given asset
- `update(AssetKind, Rate)` - update the conversion rate to the native
balance for the given asset
- `remove(AssetKind)` - remove an existing conversion rate to the native
balance for the given asset

the pallet's dispatchables can be executed by the Root or Treasurer
origins.

### Treasury Pallet

Treasury Pallet can accept proposals for `spends` of various asset kinds
and pay them out through the implementation of the `Pay` trait.

New Dispatchables:
- `spend(Config::AssetKind, AssetBalance, Config::Beneficiary,
Option<ValidFrom>)` - propose and approve a spend;
- `payout(SpendIndex)` - payout an approved spend or retry a failed
payout;
- `check_payment(SpendIndex)` - check the status of a payout;
- `void_spend(SpendIndex)` - void previously approved spend;
> existing spend dispatchable renamed to spend_local

The parameters' types of the `spend` dispatchable exposed via the
pallet's `Config` and allows to propose and accept a spend of a certain
amount.

An approved spend can be claimed via the `payout` within the
`Config::SpendPeriod`. Clients provide an implementation of the `Pay`
trait which can pay an asset of the `AssetKind` to the `Beneficiary` in
`AssetBalance` units.

The implementation of the Pay trait might not have an immediate final
payment status, for example if implemented over `XCM` and the actual
transfer happens on a remote chain.

The `check_status` dispatchable can be executed to update the spend's
payment state and retry the `payout` if the payment has failed.

      [NPoS] Fix for Reward Deficit in the pool (#1255) · f820dc0a
      Ankan authored 
      closes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/158.
partially addresses
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/226.

Instead of fragile calculation of current balance by looking at `free
balance - ED`, Nomination Pool now freezes ED in the pool reward account
to restrict an account from going below minimum balance. This also has a
nice side effect that if ED changes, we know how much is the imbalance
in ED frozen in the pool and the current required ED. A pool operator
can diligently top up the pool with the deficit in ED or vice versa,
withdraw the excess they transferred to the pool.

## Notable changes
- New call `adjust_pool_deposit`: Allows to top up the deficit or
withdraw the excess deposited funds to the pool.
- Uses Fungible trait (instead of Currency trait). Since NP was not
doing any locking/reserving previously, no migration is needed for this.
- One time migration of freezing ED from each of the existing pools (not
very PoV friendly but fine for relay chain).

      Add `MaxTipAmount` for pallet-tips (#1709) · de71fecc
      Xavier Lau authored 
      Last week we experienced a governance attack.
Surprisingly, there was no upper limit on the tip amount.

Due to the mechanism of pallet-fragment-election, the council members
will be refreshed immediately. Attacker is easy to control the council
and give a large tip amount.
