This spec describes network wide limits aimed at keeping the overall system performant and responsive.
Vega has been designed with low-latency in mind so that the responsiveness of the network doesn't unduly impact the trading experience. Furthermore, the current implementation relies on an interplay between the execution layer (core
) and the data consumption layer (data node
). For these reasons limits allowing to exercise a degree of control over the computational and data generation loads need to be put in place. These limits need to be adjustable so that each network/shard can be setup for maximum accessibility (hardware constraints permitting) while preserving the desirable user experience and system stability, and mitigating the possibility of a malicious actor trying to deliberately disrupt the system by flooding it with superfluous requests.
Introduce a new network parameter limits.markets.maxPeggedOrders
controlling the maximum number of pegged orders that can be active across all active markets.
Default value: 1,500
.
If the network parameter gets increased via a governance vote no further actions are needed. If it gets decreased below the current total number of pegged orders across all active markets then no further actions are needed. Specifically: all pegged orders already present in the markets remain unaffected, but no new pegged orders are allowed until the total pegged order count drops below the new limit.
- Attempt to place an additional pegged order by a party already active in the market when the number of pegged orders on the book is equal to
limits.markets.maxPeggedOrders
results in a rejection. Error message attributes the rejection to the limit. (0078-NWLI-001) - Attempt to place a pegged order by a new party in a new market when the number of pegged orders on the book is equal to
limits.markets.maxPeggedOrders
results in a rejection. Error message attributes the rejection to the limit. (0078-NWLI-002) - Lowering
limits.markets.maxPeggedOrders
to the number number of pegged orders on the book minus 2 results in no changes to the order book composition. Once 2 of the orders get filled and 1 gets cancelled in one market it is possible to successfully submit one additional pegged order in any of the active markets. (0078-NWLI-003) - When the limit is reached API correctly indicates that. (0078-NWLI-004)
