Solana: address search table is not address compresses as expected
A recent Solana Blockchain transaction emphasized the problem with the address search table, which is a critical component of the network decentralized finance (Defi) ecosystem. The problem arises when the user tries to view his address Solana Explorer.
Operation
December 2 The developer shared the operation Solana Blockchain Explorer, Explorer.solana.com, which showed the problem with the Lookup address table. Specifically, the transaction was sent a transaction with the following information:
* Operations ID
: 5FVQJXFOFFFEBGMWQH618kzzcnshcnshcnshwy4xwnjbsSdyfneqw perfr1fzswrckrckrckrckrckrckrckrsudt4zd3yazedvmawhspt2x““`
* CLOSER :Devnet`
Question
After reviewing the operation, it turned out that the search address table was not compressing addresses as expected. Solana addresses are usually depicted in a certain format that includes the control amount of the entire address used to confirm the authenticity and integrity of the operation. However, when this control amount is calculated for the address, it does not always match the original address.
Problem
The problem is due to the fact that the search address table uses a simple bag function to calculate the control amount of each address. Although this approach may seem sufficient in many cases, it is not strong enough to handle certain types of addresses or sides. More precisely:
* A single symbol addresses : When using a single mark address (such as ABC), the search address table does not properly calculate the control amount.
* Address Extensions : Some Solana addresses have extensions that require additional data that can be lost in the calculation of the control amount.
Conclusion
The problem of the Solana address search table is important. Although Blockchain’s design has many advantages, its dependence on simple bag function may, in certain cases, cause errors and discrepancies. Creators and users should be aware of this possible problem when working with Solana addresses.
Recommendations
To mitigate this problem, it is recommended to developers:
- Use stronger address formats such as road character addresses or addresses with extensions.
- Before using it for operations, make additional inspections to check the integrity of the address.
In addition, consumers should be careful when working with Solana addresses and consider seeking help from experienced developers or Solana experts if they face any problems with address search tables.
