RPC compatibility with Lotus and Common Node API

[aatifsyed]

Hi Venus!

The Forest team are working on a FIP for the Common Node API, with a machine-readable description of (a subset of) the existing RPC methods available for Lotus in OpenRPC format.

We wanted to engage you as implementers both of an RPC node, and as a potential future user of the document, with the following main queries:

• Does Venus strive to match Lotus's RPC API?
  • What's your current commitment to users r.e compatibility?
  • How do you ensure that you match currently?
  • Do you have any pain points as implementers?
• Do you have things that you'd want the OpenRPC document to address?
  • Would you find the document useful?
  • What tooling would support you in your use of the OpenRPC document?

• Venus API is compatible with Lotus (chain related)
  • The behavior of on-chain data-related API remains consistent.
  • Venus has tools to check whether the parameters of the lotus API are consistent and generate documents.
  • Eth related interfaces are frequently updated.
• Can help users quickly understand the API functions and usage
  • The documentation is useful and can help new users quickly understand the specific functions and usage of the API.
  • None
