Introduction

Signing a Transaction in FlOW network

Signing a transaction for Flow is a multi-step process that can involve one or more accounts, each of which signs for a different purpose.

Signer Roles

• Proposer: the account that specifies a proposal key.

• Payer: the account paying for the transaction fees.

• Authorizers: zero or more accounts authorizing the transaction to mutate their state.

  sign and send transactions allowing you to specify different authorizers, signers and proposers.

  The process of sending a complex transactions includes three steps:

  1. build a transaction

  2. sign the build a transaction

  3. send signed transaction

     and by this, transactions on FLOW network classified as below:

     Single payer, proposer and authorizer

     The simplest Flow transaction declares a single account as the proposer, payer and authorizer.

     Single payer and proposer, multiple authorizers

     A transaction that declares same payer and proposer but multiple authorizers each required to sign the transaction. Please note that the order of signing is important, and the payer must sign last. 

     Different payer, proposer and authorizer

     A transaction that declares different payer, proposer and authorizer each signing separately. Please note that the order of signing is important, and the payer must sign last. 

Method

As of classification on Introduction, and to identify the interaction of user transactions with payers I used ***flow.core.fact_transactions ***table and filter that by following tips to define the types of transactions base on mentioned in introduction:

where proposer = payer and payer = authorizers and count_authorizers = 1 as Single payer, proposer and authorizer

where proposer = payer and count_authorizers > 1 as Single payer and proposer, multiple authorizers

and where proposer != payer and payer != authorizers and proposer != authorizers as Different payer, proposer and authorize

So by this filters I tried to investigate that:

• Are other wallet providers doing something similar the Blocto wallet?

• Can we determine what wallet provider an address is using from payer or any other transaction data?

Analysis

Observation

In the above bar charts the count of transactions and count of unique user that have had interaction with FLOW network payers that subsidize the FLOW network fees for their users, in three class of transactions are depicted.

• Cumulative growth on transactions count and unique users numbers are shown in the above line charts.
• In the above PIE charts the total count of transactions and unique user are depicted.
