Types

type ChainConfig

type ChainConfig struct {
	Config  []byte
	Upgrade []byte
}

ChainConfig is configuration settings for the current execution. [Config] is the user-provided config blob for the chain. [Upgrade] is a chain-specific blob for coordinating upgrades.

type ChainParameters

type ChainParameters struct {
	// The ID of the chain being created.
	ID ids.ID
	// ID of the subnet that validates this chain.
	SubnetID ids.ID
	// The genesis data of this chain's ledger.
	GenesisData []byte
	// The ID of the vm this chain is running.
	VMID ids.ID
	// The IDs of the feature extensions this chain is running.
	FxIDs []ids.ID
	// Invariant: Only used when [ID] is the P-chain ID.
	CustomBeacons validators.Manager
}

ChainParameters defines the chain being created

type Manager

type Manager interface {
	ids.Aliaser

	// Return the router this Manager is using to route consensus messages to chains
	Router() router.Router

	// Queues a chain to be created in the future after chain creator is unblocked.
	// This is only called from the P-chain thread to create other chains
	// Queued chains are created only after P-chain is bootstrapped.
	// This assumes only chains in tracked subnets are queued.
	QueueChainCreation(ChainParameters)

	// Add a registrant [r]. Every time a chain is
	// created, [r].RegisterChain([new chain]) is called.
	AddRegistrant(Registrant)

	// Given an alias, return the ID of the chain associated with that alias
	Lookup(string) (ids.ID, error)

	// Given an alias, return the ID of the VM associated with that alias
	LookupVM(string) (ids.ID, error)

	// Returns true iff the chain with the given ID exists and is finished bootstrapping
	IsBootstrapped(ids.ID) bool

	// Starts the chain creator with the initial platform chain parameters, must
	// be called once.
	StartChainCreator(platformChain ChainParameters) error

	Shutdown()
}

Manager manages the chains running on this node. It can:

• Create a chain
• Add a registrant. When a chain is created, each registrant calls RegisterChain with the new chain as the argument.
• Manage the aliases of chains

var TestManager Manager = testManager{}

TestManager implements Manager but does nothing. Always returns nil error. To be used only in tests

func New

func New(config *ManagerConfig) Manager

New returns a new Manager

type Registrant

type Registrant interface {
	// Called when a chain is created
	// This function is called before the chain starts processing messages
	// [vm] should be a vertex.DAGVM or block.ChainVM
	RegisterChain(chainName string, ctx *snow.ConsensusContext, vm common.VM)

Registrant can register the existence of a chain
