Learning objectives

  • 01Describe the decorator chain applied to every transaction
  • 02Configure a minimum price and a fee policy
  • 03Implement delegated authorisation between accounts

Guided lab

Configure the chain's fees and verify that an underpriced transaction is rejected.

Independent lab

Set up a fee-sponsorship mechanism for users holding no tokens.

Security angle

A zero minimum price makes the chain free to saturate.

Assessment

Documented, tested fee policy, rejection cases included.
