Hi Jan-Jan,
Thank you for sharing this exciting update! The progress on bringing Ethereum-compatible smart contracts to Polkadot, along with the focus on developer experience and reliability, is amazing!
However, I would like to bring to your attention an issue we are currently facing that is critical for projects like ours, especially given Polkadot’s focus on enabling smart contracts and applications. I’ve detailed the issue in this post, but to summarize:
The lack of defined and consistent error outputs in the SDK pallets makes it very challenging, if not impossible, to provide a stable API for smart contracts and applications / tooling interacting with chains built with the SDK.
My question: does Parity recognise this as an issue?
We believe this is an issue for Polkadot Plaza and similar initiatives. Hearing what others—especially Parity as the main developers of Polkadot—think about this would provide valuable insights.
We look forward to hearing your perspective and exploring potential solutions together.
Best regards,
