Functions

func SlotStartTime

func SlotStartTime(genesis uint64, slot uint64) time.Time

SlotStartTime returns the start time in terms of its unix epoch value.

Types

type SlotTicker

type SlotTicker struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

SlotTicker is a special ticker for the beacon chain block. The channel emits over the slot interval, and ensures that the ticks are in line with the genesis time. This means that the duration between the ticks and the genesis time are always a multiple of the slot duration. In addition, the channel returns the new slot number.

func GetSlotTicker

func GetSlotTicker(genesisTime time.Time, secondsPerSlot uint64) *SlotTicker

GetSlotTicker is the constructor for SlotTicker.

func (*SlotTicker) C

func (s *SlotTicker) C() <-chan uint64

C returns the ticker channel. Call Cancel afterwards to ensure that the goroutine exits cleanly.

func (*SlotTicker) Done

func (s *SlotTicker) Done()

Done should be called to clean up the ticker.
