      Different XCM builders, default one requires fee payment (#2253) · b3841b6b
      Francisco Aguirre authored 
      Adding on top of the new builder pattern for creating XCM programs, I'm
adding some more APIs:

```rust
let paying_fees: Xcm<()> = Xcm::builder() // Only allow paying for fees
  .withdraw_asset() // First instruction has to load the holding register
  .buy_execution() // Second instruction has to be `buy_execution`
  .build();

let paying_fees_invalid: Xcm<()> = Xcm::builder()
  .withdraw_asset()
  .build(); // Invalid, need to pay for fees

let not_paying_fees: Xcm<()> = Xcm::builder_unpaid()
  .unpaid_execution() // Needed
  .withdraw_asset()
  .deposit_asset()
  .build();

let all_goes: Xcm<()> = Xcm::builder_unsafe() // You can do anything
  .withdraw_asset()
  .deposit_asset()
  .build();
```

The invalid bits are because the methods don't even exist on the types
that you'd want to call them on.

      Identity Deposits Relay to Parachain Migration (#1814) · c79b234b
      joe petrowski authored 
      The goal of this PR is to migrate Identity deposits from the Relay Chain
to a system parachain.

The problem I want to solve is that `IdentityOf` and `SubsOf` both store
an amount that's held in reserve as a storage deposit. When migrating to
a parachain, we can take a snapshot of the actual `IdentityInfo` and
sub-account mappings, but should migrate (off chain) the `deposit`s to
zero, since the chain (and by extension, accounts) won't have any funds
at genesis.

The good news is that we expect parachain deposits to be significantly
lower (possibly 100x) on the parachain. That is, a deposit of 21 DOT on
the Relay Chain would need 0.21 DOT on a parachain. This PR proposes to
migrate the deposits in the following way:

1. Introduces a new pallet with two extrinsics: 
- `reap_identity`: Has a configurable `ReapOrigin`, which would be set
to `EnsureSigned` on the Relay Chain (i.e. callable by anyone) and
`EnsureRoot` on the parachain (we don't want identities reaped from
there).
- `poke_deposit`: Checks what deposit the pallet holds (at genesis,
zero) and attempts to update the amount based on the calculated deposit
for storage data.
2. `reap_identity` clears all storage data for a `target` account and
unreserves their deposit.
3. A `ReapIdentityHandler` teleports the necessary DOT to the parachain
and calls `poke_deposit`. Since the parachain deposit is much lower, and
was just unreserved, we know we have enough.

One awkwardness I ran into was that the XCMv3 instruction set does not
provide a way for the system to teleport assets without a fee being
deducted on reception. Users shouldn't have to pay a fee for the system
to migrate their info to a more efficient location. So I wrote my own
program and did the `InitiateTeleport` accounting on my own to send a
program with `UnpaidExecution`. Have discussed an
`InitiateUnpaidTeleport` instruction with @franciscoaguirre . Obviously
any chain executing this would have to pass a `Barrier` for free
execution.

      pallet-xcm: enhance `reserve_transfer_assets` to support remote reserves (#1672) · 18257373
      Adrian Catangiu authored 
      ## Motivation

`pallet-xcm` is the main user-facing interface for XCM functionality,
including assets manipulation functions like `teleportAssets()` and
`reserve_transfer_assets()` calls.

While `teleportAsset()` works both ways, `reserve_transfer_assets()`
works only for sending reserve-based assets to a remote destination and
beneficiary when the reserve is the _local chain_.

## Solution

This PR enhances `pallet_xcm::(limited_)reserve_withdraw_assets` to
support transfers when reserves are other chains.
This will allow complete, **bi-directional** reserve-based asset
transfers user stories using `pallet-xcm`.

Enables following scenarios:
- transferring assets with local reserve (was previously supported iff
asset used as fee also had local reserve - now it works in all cases),
- transferring assets with reserve on destination,
- transferring assets with reserve on remote/third-party chain (iff
assets and fees have same remote reserve),
- transferring assets with reserve different than the reserve of the
asset to be used as fees - meaning can be used to transfer random asset
with local/dest reserve while using DOT for fees on all involved chains,
even if DOT local/dest reserve doesn't match asset reserve,
- transferring assets with any type of local/dest reserve while using
fees which can be teleported between involved chains.

All of the above is done by pallet inner logic without the user having
to specify which scenario/reserves/teleports/etc. The correct scenario
and corresponding XCM programs are identified, and respectively, built
automatically based on runtime configuration of trusted teleporters and
trusted reserves.

#### Current limitations:
- while `fees` and "non-fee" `assets` CAN have different reserves (or
fees CAN be teleported), the remaining "non-fee" `assets` CANNOT, among
themselves, have different reserve locations (this is also implicitly
enforced by `MAX_ASSETS_FOR_TRANSFER=2`, but this can be safely
increased in the future).
- `fees` and "non-fee" `assets` CANNOT have **different remote**
reserves (this could also be supported in the future, but adds even more
complexity while possibly not being worth it - we'll see what the future
holds).

      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>,
+ >,
```

      validate-block: Fix `TrieCache` implementation (#2214) · 1bc08858
      Bastian Köcher authored 
      The trie cache implementation was ignoring the `storage_root` when
setting up the value cache. The problem with this is that the value
cache works using `storage_keys` and these keys are not unique across
different tries. A block can actually have different tries (main trie
and multiple child tries). This pull request fixes the issue by not
ignoring the `storage_root` and returning an unique `value_cache` per
`storage_root`. It also adds a test for the seen bug and improves
documentation that this doesn't happen again.

      approval-voting improvement: include all tranche0 assignments in one certificate (#1178) · 0570b6fa
      Andrei Sandu authored 
      **_PR migrated from https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/6782_** 

This PR will upgrade the network protocol to version 3 -> VStaging which
will later be renamed to V3. This version introduces a new kind of
assignment certificate that will be used for tranche0 assignments.
Instead of issuing/importing one tranche0 assignment per candidate,
there will be just one certificate per relay chain block per validator.
However, we will not be sending out the new assignment certificates,
yet. So everything should work exactly as before. Once the majority of
the validators have been upgraded to the new protocol version we will
enable the new certificates (starting at a specific relay chain block)
with a new client update.

There are still a few things that need to be done:

- [x] Use bitfield instead of Vec<CandidateIndex>:
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/6802


  - [x] Fix existing approval-distribution and approval-voting tests
  - [x] Fix bitfield-distribution and statement-distribution tests
  - [x] Fix network bridge tests
  - [x] Implement todos in the code
  - [x] Add tests to cover new code
  - [x] Update metrics
  - [x] Remove the approval distribution aggression levels: TBD PR
  - [x] Parachains DB migration 
  - [x] Test network protocol upgrade on Versi
  - [x] Versi Load test
  - [x] Add Zombienet test
  - [x] Documentation updates
- [x] Fix for sending DistributeAssignment for each candidate claimed by

 - [x] Fix DB migration so that we can still keep old data.

      `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");
```
