Allocation Request Interface
Hi I have a question regarding the request interface standards - I noticed that they don’t have a choice for the happy path (accept), just reject and withdraw. On the wallet UI interface, there’s a button to accept the allocation requests. How does the UI know which choice to exercise for the request?
Thanks in advance!
Hey Austin
So, wallet doesn’t “accept” an allocation request the way you’d accept a proposal. Instead, the wallet’s path is to exercise a choice on a completely different interface…the AllocationInstruction interface.
- An app creates a contract implementing
AllocationRequeste.gLicenseRenewalRequestin cn-quickstart and this signals to the wallet that “I need the user to allocate some assets for this settlement” - Wallet UI detects this
AllocationRequestcontract on the user’s ACS. What it shows the user as “Accept” is actually the wallet internally constructing and submitting anAllocationInstructiona separate factory contract that instructs the registry to create the actualAllocation - Registry processes
AllocationInstructionand creates anAllocationcontract. The settlement app then observes the allocation and completes the settlement.
I see, does creating the allocation instruction then archive the allocation request or update it in some way that prevents duplicate allocations? Or is that dependent on the implementation that the app providers have for the interfaces?
