Motivation
Until now, applications were only available on chains that published them and ones that explicitly requested to use them using
request_application
. This meant there was an awkward step for users that wanted to use others' applications on their own chains.Proposal
This PR changes
UserApplicationDescription
into a blob. Publishing an application means storing a blob, which is then accessible to all microchains right away. This removes the need forrequest_application
and makes it possible to remove its functionality entirely.Test Plan
The example usage flow of the Request For Quotes application was tested manually in order to ensure that the RFQ app was available on other chains without it being explicitly requested.
The readme tests will ensure that this will be tested in CI as well.
