Balance Bug Fix - Implementation Summary

Bug Fixed ✅

Issue: KRK token balance takes 10-90+ seconds to load (or never loads) after swapping ETH→KRK, causing "Insufficient Balance" errors on stake page.

Root Cause: The buyKrk() function in CheatsView.vue did not refresh the wallet balance after completing the swap transaction.

Changes Made

File: /home/debian/harb/web-app/src/views/CheatsView.vue

1. Added Import

import { useWallet } from '@/composables/useWallet';

2. Modified buyKrk() Function

Added balance refresh after swap completes:

await writeContract(wagmiConfig, {
  abi: SWAP_ROUTER_ABI,
  address: router,
  functionName: 'exactInputSingle',
  args: [/* swap params */],
  chainId,
});

// FIX: Refresh KRK balance immediately after swap completes
// This ensures the balance is up-to-date when navigating to the stake page
const { loadBalance } = useWallet();
await loadBalance();

toast.success('Swap submitted. Watch your wallet for KRK.');

Expected Behavior After Fix

Before Fix:

1. User swaps ETH→KRK ✅
2. User navigates to stake page ✅
3. Balance shows 0 KRK for 10-90+ seconds (or never) ❌
4. "Insufficient Balance" error ❌

After Fix:

1. User swaps ETH→KRK ✅
2. Balance refreshes automatically (1-2 seconds) ✅
3. User navigates to stake page ✅
4. Balance displays correctly immediately ✅
5. User can stake without waiting ✅

Testing Checklist

Manual Testing:

• Start local dev environment
• Connect wallet to app
• Navigate to Cheats page
• Buy KRK with ETH (e.g., 0.1 ETH)
• Wait for transaction confirmation
• Immediately navigate to Stake page
• Verify KRK balance displays correctly within 1-2 seconds
• Verify slider shows correct max amount
• Attempt to stake - should succeed

Edge Cases to Test:

• Multiple rapid swaps in succession
• Swap with slow RPC endpoint
• Swap then refresh page (should still load)
• Swap with different wallet providers (MetaMask, Coinbase)
• Balance display on other pages (Dashboard, etc.)

Regression Testing:

• Verify existing swap functionality still works
• Check console for errors during/after swap
• Verify toast notifications still display
• Test with wallet disconnection/reconnection

Performance Impact

• Additional RPC Call: 1 extra balanceOf call after each swap
• Latency Added: ~100-500ms (typical RPC response time)
• User Impact: POSITIVE - eliminates 10-90 second wait

Alternative Solutions Considered

1. Polling (REJECTED):

   • Poll balance every 5-10 seconds
   • ❌ Unnecessary RPC calls when no transactions occurring
   • ❌ Drains user's RPC quota on rate-limited providers

2. Router Navigation Guard (OVERKILL):

   • Refresh balance on every route navigation
   • ❌ Adds delay to all page loads
   • ❌ Unnecessary when balance hasn't changed

3. Event Bus (FUTURE):

   • Emit events after any token-affecting transaction
   • ✅ Clean architecture
   • ❌ More complex, requires broader refactoring

Chosen Solution: Direct Call After Transaction

• ✅ Simple, targeted fix
• ✅ Only refreshes when necessary
• ✅ Minimal performance impact
• ✅ Easy to understand and maintain

Monitoring Recommendations

Once deployed, monitor:

• Time from swap completion to balance display
• Error rates on stake page
• User drop-off between swap and stake pages
• RPC call volumes (should be negligible increase)

Related Issues

If balance still doesn't load after this fix, investigate:

1. RPC endpoint reliability/latency
2. Wallet provider connection issues
3. Contract address mismatches between environments
4. Browser wallet extension bugs

Future Enhancements:

1. Add loading indicator during balance refresh
2. Add manual "Refresh Balance" button on stake page
3. Show helpful message if balance is 0 after swap
4. Implement optimistic UI updates (show pending balance)

Rollback Plan

If this fix causes issues:

1. Revert the two changes to CheatsView.vue
2. Balance will work as before (requires page refresh or chain switch)
3. No database or contract changes involved

Deployment Notes

• No build config changes required
• No environment variable changes
• Safe to deploy immediately
• Can be tested in dev/staging before production
