Collect Call

Hook Design Philosophy

Every party affected by a transaction should have the opportunity to have their hooks executed.

When hooks are not Strongly Executed it is unfair to bill the originating transaction for their execution. For example an OfferCreate which crosses 20 offers on the DEX should not be forced to pay for the execution of each of those account’s Hooks.

Therefore during typical Weak execution the fee for the execution is collected from the owner of the Hook. To enable this:

The Hook owner must have set asfTshCollect on their Xahau account using the AccountSet transaction.
The Hook owner must have set hsfCollect on the specific Hook they wish to be called as a Weak TSH.

Fee Responsibility Table

Type of Weak Execution	Fee
Again As Weak - Happens when a Strongly Executed Hook calls hook_again	Free (already paid by the Strong Execution).
Callback - Happens when an emitted transaction either makes it into a ledger or is flagged as being impossible to ever make it into a ledger.	Free (already paid during Emission).
Weak Transactional Stakeholder - Happens if a transaction in some way mildly affects your account.	Paid for by your account (not by the originating transaction) if and only if both your account is marked with `asfTshCollect` flag and your Hook is marked with the `hsfCollect` flag.
