pub fn pre_commit<T: Config>(anchor_id: T::Hash, signing_root: T::Hash)
Expand description

Obtains an exclusive lock to make the next update to a certain document version identified by anchor_id on Centrifuge p2p network for a number of blocks given by PRE_COMMIT_EXPIRATION_DURATION_BLOCKS value. signing_root is a child node of the off-chain merkle tree of that document. In Centrifuge protocol, a document is committed only after reaching consensus with the other collaborators on the document. Consensus is reached by getting a cryptographic signature from other parties by sending them the signing_root. To deny the counter-party the free option of publishing its own state commitment upon receiving a request for signature, the node can first publish a pre-commit. Only the pre-committer account in the Centrifuge chain is allowed to commit a corresponding anchor before the pre-commit has expired. Some funds are reserved on a succesful pre-commit call. These funds are returned to the same account after a succesful Pallet::commit() call or explicitely if evicting the pre-commits by calling Pallet::evict_pre_commits(). For a more detailed explanation refer section 3.4 of Centrifuge Protocol Paper
