Functions

func GetReward

func GetReward(blockHeight uint64) *big.Int

GetReward get reward amount according to block height

Types

type Broadcaster

type Broadcaster interface {
	// Enqueue add a block into fetcher queue
	Enqueue(id string, block *types.Block)
	// FindPeers retrives peers by addresses
	FindPeers(map[common.Address]bool) map[common.Address]Peer
}

Broadcaster defines the interface to enqueue blocks to fetcher and find peer

type ChainReader

type ChainReader interface {
	// CurrentHeader retrieves the current header from the local chain.
	CurrentHeader() *types.BlockHeader

	// GetHeaderByNumber retrieves a block header from the database by number.
	GetHeaderByHeight(height uint64) *types.BlockHeader

	// GetHeaderByHash retrieves a block header from the database by its hash.
	GetHeaderByHash(hash common.Hash) *types.BlockHeader

	// GetBlock retrieves a block from the database by hash and number.
	GetBlockByHash(hash common.Hash) *types.Block
}

ChainReader defines a small collection of methods needed to access the local blockchain during header and/or uncle verification.

type Engine

type Engine interface {
	// Prepare header before generate block
	Prepare(chain ChainReader, header *types.BlockHeader) error

	// VerifyHeader verify block header
	VerifyHeader(chain ChainReader, header *types.BlockHeader) error

	// Seal generate block
	Seal(chain ChainReader, block *types.Block, stop <-chan struct{}, results chan<- *types.Block) error

	// APIs returns the RPC APIs this consensus engine provides.
	APIs(chain ChainReader) []rpc.API

	// SetThreads set miner threads
	SetThreads(thread int)
}

type Handler

type Handler interface {
	// NewChainHead handles a new head block comes
	NewChainHead() error
	// HandleMsg handles a message from peer
	HandleMsg(address common.Address, msg interface{}) (bool, error)
	// SetBroadcaster sets the broadcaster to send message to peers
	SetBroadcaster(Broadcaster)
}

Handler should be implemented is the consensus needs to handle and send peer's message

type Istanbul

type Istanbul interface {
	Engine

	// Start starts the engine
	Start(chain ChainReader, currentBlock func() *types.Block, hasBadBlock func(hash common.Hash) bool) error

	// Stop stops the engine
	Stop() error
}

Istanbul is a consensus engine to avoid byzantine failure

type Peer

type Peer interface {
	// Send sends the message to this peer
	Send(msgcode uint16, data interface{}) error
}

Peer defines the interface to communicate with peer

type Protocol

type Protocol struct {
	// Official short name of the protocol used during capability negotiation.
	Name string
	// Supported versions of the eth protocol (first is primary).
	Versions []uint
	// Height of implemented message corresponding to different protocol versions.
	Lengths []uint64
}

Protocol defines the protocol of the consensus
