[EVM] Missed JSON-RPC methods

[akru]

Description

Some standard JSON-RPC API functions missed in frontier implementation. This issue collects a list of missed methods and organizes implementation works.

Required Tasks

• new_newFilter
• ...

[Maar-io]

Comparing EIP 1474 and Frontier master branch following is the list of not implemented methods:

• eth_sign
• eth_signTransaction
• eth_getCompilers
• eth_compileLLL
• eth_compileSolidity
• eth_compileSerpent

note: eth_newFilter and other filter methods are recently implemented in #274

Can you please explain what is the task related to implementation?
Is it to update Frontier submodule in Plasm with latest Frontier master, or to implement these methods in Frontier repo, or just to list missing methods?

[akru]

Nice @Maar-io, thank you for update!
In that case, the target of this issue is updating frontier to upstream.

PR with latest PureStake frontier (3 commits behind Parity)
AstarNetwork/frontier#1

no merge conflicts found

[akru]

@Maar-io Thank you very much, could you also create draft PR into this repo, dusty branch. Frontier used as sub-module.

[Maar-io]

.gitmodules is pointing to staketechnologies/frontier
and my PR above is for PlasmNetwork/frontier. My bad.
To update staketechnologies/frontier there are merge conflicts which need to be resolved.
@akru, I will attempt to resolve them

[akru]

It should be changed to PlasmNetwork repo.

[Maar-io]

@akru please confirm that the following is needed:

1. PlasmNetwork/Plasm repo to have PlasmNetwork/frontier as submodule.
2. PlasmNetwork/frontier should be updated with the latest Parity/frontier master
3. There are no changes on top of Parity/frontier that should be considered for merge
   thanks

That’s absolutely right, final step is check that everything works correctly: EVM contract deployment / executions, RPC calls, etc.
