Build Status ISC License Doc

Package blockchain implements Decred block handling and chain selection rules. The test coverage is currently only around 60%, but will be increasing over time. See test_coverage.txt for the gocov coverage report. Alternatively, if you are running a POSIX OS, you can run the cov_report.sh script for a real-time report. Package blockchain is licensed under the liberal ISC license.

There is an associated blog post about the release of this package here.

This package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing to handle processing of blocks into the decred block chain.

Installation and Updating

$ go get -u github.com/decred/dcrd/blockchain

Decred Chain Processing Overview

Before a block is allowed into the block chain, it must go through an intensive series of validation rules. The following list serves as a general outline of those rules to provide some intuition into what is going on under the hood, but is by no means exhaustive:

  • Reject duplicate blocks
  • Perform a series of sanity checks on the block and its transactions such as verifying proof of work, timestamps, number and character of transactions, transaction amounts, script complexity, and merkle root calculations
  • Compare the block against predetermined checkpoints for expected timestamps and difficulty based on elapsed time since the checkpoint
  • Perform a series of more thorough checks that depend on the block's position within the block chain such as verifying block difficulties adhere to difficulty retarget rules, timestamps are after the median of the last several blocks, all transactions are finalized, checkpoint blocks match, and block versions are in line with the previous blocks
  • Determine how the block fits into the chain and perform different actions accordingly in order to ensure any side chains which have higher difficulty than the main chain become the new main chain
  • When a block is being connected to the main chain (either through reorganization of a side chain to the main chain or just extending the main chain), perform further checks on the block's transactions such as verifying transaction duplicates, script complexity for the combination of connected scripts, coinbase maturity, double spends, and connected transaction values
  • Run the transaction scripts to verify the spender is allowed to spend the coins
  • Insert the block into the block database

Examples

  • ProcessBlock Example Demonstrates how to create a new chain instance and use ProcessBlock to attempt to add a block to the chain. This example intentionally attempts to insert a duplicate genesis block to illustrate how an invalid block is handled.

Overview

Package blockchain implements Decred block handling and chain selection rules.

The Decred block handling and chain selection rules are an integral, and quite likely the most important, part of decred. At its core, Decred is a distributed consensus of which blocks are valid and which ones will comprise the main block chain (public ledger) that ultimately determines accepted transactions, so it is extremely important that fully validating nodes agree on all rules.

At a high level, this package provides support for inserting new blocks into the block chain according to the aforementioned rules. It includes functionality such as rejecting duplicate blocks, ensuring blocks and transactions follow all rules, and best chain selection along with reorganization.

Since this package does not deal with other Decred specifics such as network communication or wallets, it provides a notification system which gives the caller a high level of flexibility in how they want to react to certain events such as newly connected main chain blocks which might result in wallet updates.

  • Insert the block into the block database

Errors

Errors returned by this package are either the raw errors provided by underlying calls or of type blockchain.RuleError. This allows the caller to differentiate between unexpected errors, such as database errors, versus errors due to rule violations through type assertions. In addition, callers can programmatically determine the specific rule violation by examining the ErrorCode field of the type asserted blockchain.RuleError.

Functions

func CalcCommitmentRootV1 

func CalcCommitmentRootV1(filterHash chainhash.Hash) chainhash.Hash

CalcCommitmentRootV1 calculates and returns the required v1 block commitment root from the filter hash it commits to.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func CheckBlockSanity 

func CheckBlockSanity(block *dcrutil.Block, timeSource MedianTimeSource, chainParams *chaincfg.Params, isTreasuryEnabled bool) error

CheckBlockSanity performs some preliminary checks on a block to ensure it is sane before continuing with block processing. These checks are context free.

func CheckProofOfStake 

func CheckProofOfStake(block *dcrutil.Block, posLimit int64) error

CheckProofOfStake ensures that all ticket purchases in the block pay at least the amount required by the block header stake bits which indicate the target stake difficulty (aka ticket price) as claimed.

func CheckTransactionInputs 

func CheckTransactionInputs(subsidyCache *standalone.SubsidyCache, tx *dcrutil.Tx, txHeight int64, view *UtxoViewpoint, checkFraudProof bool, chainParams *chaincfg.Params, isTreasuryEnabled bool) (int64, error)

CheckTransactionInputs performs a series of checks on the inputs to a transaction to ensure they are valid. An example of some of the checks include verifying all inputs exist, ensuring the coinbase seasoning requirements are met, detecting double spends, validating all values and fees are in the legal range and the total output amount doesn't exceed the input amount, and verifying the signatures to prove the spender was the owner of the Decred and therefore allowed to spend them. As it checks the inputs, it also calculates the total fees for the transaction and returns that value.

NOTE: The transaction MUST have already been sanity checked with the CheckTransactionSanity function prior to calling this function.

func CheckTransactionSanity 

func CheckTransactionSanity(tx *wire.MsgTx, params *chaincfg.Params, isTreasuryEnabled bool) error

CheckTransactionSanity performs some preliminary checks on a transaction to ensure it is sane. These checks are supposed to be context free but cannot be due to the treasury agenda.

Note that this is a giant hack to separate the original context free function into two functions due to the treasury agenda induced contextual isTreasuryEnabled flag. The contextual checks have been pulled out in order to maintain order and assumptions without having to discard the isTreasuryEnabled checks from the function.

func ConvertUtxosToMinimalOutputs 

func ConvertUtxosToMinimalOutputs(entry *UtxoEntry) []*stake.MinimalOutput

ConvertUtxosToMinimalOutputs converts the contents of a UTX to a series of minimal outputs. It does this so that these can be passed to stake subpackage functions, where they will be evaluated for correctness.

func CountP2SHSigOps 

func CountP2SHSigOps(tx *dcrutil.Tx, isCoinBaseTx bool, isStakeBaseTx bool, view *UtxoViewpoint, isTreasuryEnabled bool) (int, error)

CountP2SHSigOps returns the number of signature operations for all input transactions which are of the pay-to-script-hash type. This uses the precise, signature operation counting mechanism from the script engine which requires access to the input transaction scripts.

func CountSigOps 

func CountSigOps(tx *dcrutil.Tx, isCoinBaseTx bool, isSSGen bool, isTreasuryEnabled bool) int

CountSigOps returns the number of signature operations for all transaction input and output scripts in the provided transaction. This uses the quicker, but imprecise, signature operation counting mechanism from txscript.

func IsExpired 

func IsExpired(tx *dcrutil.Tx, blockHeight int64) bool

IsExpired returns where or not the passed transaction is expired according to the given block height.

This function only differs from IsExpiredTx in that it works with a higher level util transaction as opposed to a raw wire transaction.

func IsExpiredTx 

func IsExpiredTx(tx *wire.MsgTx, blockHeight int64) bool

IsExpiredTx returns where or not the passed transaction is expired according to the given block height.

This function only differs from IsExpired in that it works with a raw wire transaction as opposed to a higher level util transaction.

func IsFinalizedTransaction 

func IsFinalizedTransaction(tx *dcrutil.Tx, blockHeight int64, blockTime time.Time) bool

IsFinalizedTransaction determines whether or not a transaction is finalized.

func LockTimeToSequence 

func LockTimeToSequence(isSeconds bool, lockTime uint32) (uint32, error)

LockTimeToSequence converts the passed relative lock time to a sequence number in accordance with DCP0003.

A sequence number is defined as follows:

  • bit 31 is the disable bit

  • the next 8 bits are reserved

  • bit 22 is the relative lock type (unset = block height, set = seconds)

  • the next 6 bites are reserved

  • the least significant 16 bits represent the value

  • value has a granularity of 512 when interpreted as seconds (bit 22 set)

    --------------------------------------------------- | Disable | Reserved | Type | Reserved | Value | --------------------------------------------------- | 1 bit | 8 bits | 1 bit | 6 bits | 16 bits | --------------------------------------------------- | [31] | [30-23] | [22] | [21-16] | [15-0] | ---------------------------------------------------

The above implies that the maximum relative block height that can be encoded is 65535 and the maximum relative number of seconds that can be encoded is 65535*512 = 33,553,920 seconds (~1.06 years). It also means that seconds are truncated to the nearest granularity towards 0 (e.g. 536 seconds will end up round tripping as 512 seconds and 1500 seconds will end up round tripping as 1024 seconds).

An error will be returned for values that are larger than can be represented.

func SequenceLockActive 

func SequenceLockActive(lock *SequenceLock, blockHeight int64, medianTime time.Time) bool

SequenceLockActive determines if all of the inputs to a given transaction have achieved a relative age that surpasses the requirements specified by their respective sequence locks as calculated by CalcSequenceLock. A single sequence lock is sufficient because the calculated lock selects the minimum required time and block height from all of the non-disabled inputs after which the transaction can be included.

func UseLogger 

func UseLogger(logger slog.Logger)

UseLogger uses a specified Logger to output package logging info.

func UseTreasuryLogger 

func UseTreasuryLogger(logger slog.Logger)

func ValidateTransactionScripts(tx *dcrutil.Tx, utxoView *UtxoViewpoint, flags txscript.ScriptFlags, sigCache *txscript.SigCache) error

ValidateTransactionScripts validates the scripts for the passed transaction using multiple goroutines.

func VerifyTSpendSignature 

func VerifyTSpendSignature(msgTx *wire.MsgTx, signature, pubKey []byte) error

VerifyTSpendSignature verifies that the provided signature and public key were the ones that signed the provided message transaction.

Note: This function should only be called with a valid TSpend.

Types

type AssertError

func (e AssertError) Error() string

Error returns the assertion error as a huma-readable string and satisfies the error interface.

type BehaviorFlags 

type BehaviorFlags uint32

BehaviorFlags is a bitmask defining tweaks to the normal behavior when performing chain processing and consensus rules checks. 

const (
	// BFFastAdd may be set to indicate that several checks can be avoided
	// for the block since it is already known to fit into the chain due to
	// already proving it correct links into the chain up to a known
	// checkpoint.  This is primarily used for headers-first mode.
	BFFastAdd BehaviorFlags = 1 << iota

	// BFNoPoWCheck may be set to indicate the proof of work check which
	// ensures a block hashes to a value less than the required target will
	// not be performed.
	BFNoPoWCheck

	// BFNone is a convenience value to specifically indicate no flags.
	BFNone BehaviorFlags = 0
)

type BestState 

type BestState struct {
	Hash               chainhash.Hash   // The hash of the block.
	PrevHash           chainhash.Hash   // The previous block hash.
	Height             int64            // The height of the block.
	Bits               uint32           // The difficulty bits of the block.
	NextPoolSize       uint32           // The ticket pool size.
	NextStakeDiff      int64            // The next stake difficulty.
	BlockSize          uint64           // The size of the block.
	NumTxns            uint64           // The number of txns in the block.
	TotalTxns          uint64           // The total number of txns in the chain.
	MedianTime         time.Time        // Median time as per CalcPastMedianTime.
	TotalSubsidy       int64            // The total subsidy for the chain.
	NextWinningTickets []chainhash.Hash // The eligible tickets to vote on the next block.
	MissedTickets      []chainhash.Hash // The missed tickets set to be revoked.
	NextFinalState     [6]byte          // The calculated state of the lottery for the next block.
}

BestState houses information about the current best block and other info related to the state of the main chain as it exists from the point of view of the current best block.

The BestSnapshot method can be used to obtain access to this information in a concurrent safe manner and the data will not be changed out from under the caller when chain state changes occur as the function name implies. However, the returned snapshot must be treated as immutable since it is shared by all callers.

type BlockAcceptedNtfnsData 

type BlockAcceptedNtfnsData struct {
	// BestHeight is the height of the current best chain.  Since the accepted
	// block might be on a side chain, this is not necessarily the same as the
	// height of the accepted block.
	BestHeight int64

	// ForkLen is the length of the side chain the block extended or zero in the
	// case the block extended the main chain.
	//
	// This can be used in conjunction with the height of the accepted block to
	// determine the height at which the side chain the block created or
	// extended forked from the best chain.
	ForkLen int64

	// Block is the block that was accepted into the chain.
	Block *dcrutil.Block
}

BlockAcceptedNtfnsData is the structure for data indicating information about an accepted block. Note that this does not necessarily mean the block that was accepted extended the best chain as it might have created or extended a side chain.

type BlockChain 

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

func (*BlockChain) CalcSequenceLock 

func (b *BlockChain) CalcSequenceLock(tx *dcrutil.Tx, view *UtxoViewpoint) (*SequenceLock, error)

CalcSequenceLock computes the minimum block height and time after which the passed transaction can be included into a block while satisfying the relative lock times of all of its input sequence numbers. The passed view is used to obtain the past median time and block heights of the blocks in which the referenced outputs of the inputs to the transaction were included. The generated sequence lock can be used in conjunction with a block height and median time to determine if all inputs to the transaction have reached the required maturity allowing it to be included in a block.

NOTE: This will calculate the sequence locks regardless of the state of the agenda which conditionally activates it. This is acceptable for standard transactions, however, callers which are intending to perform any type of consensus checking must check the status of the agenda first.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*BlockChain) CalcStakeVersionByHash

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*BlockChain) CheckTicketExhaustion 

func (b *BlockChain) CheckTicketExhaustion(hash *chainhash.Hash, ticketPurchases uint8) error

CheckTicketExhaustion ensures that extending the block associated with the provided hash with a block that contains the specified number of ticket purchases will not result in a chain that is unrecoverable due to inevitable ticket exhaustion. This scenario happens when the number of live tickets drops below the number of tickets that is needed to reach the next block at which any outstanding immature ticket purchases that would provide the necessary live tickets mature.

func (*BlockChain) Checkpoints 

func (b *BlockChain) Checkpoints() []chaincfg.Checkpoint

NOTE: Requesting a hash for which there is no data will NOT return an error. Instead both the entry and the error will be nil. This is done to allow pruning of fully spent transactions. In practice this means the caller must check if the returned entry is nil before invoking methods on it.

This function is safe for concurrent access however the returned entry (if any) is NOT.

func (*BlockChain) FetchUtxoStats 

func (b *BlockChain) FetchUtxoStats() (*UtxoStats, error)

It also attempts to fetch the utxo details for the transaction itself so the returned view can be examined for duplicate unspent transaction outputs.

This function is safe for concurrent access however the returned view is NOT.

func (*BlockChain) FetchUtxoViewParentTemplate 

func (b *BlockChain) FetchUtxoViewParentTemplate(block *wire.MsgBlock) (*UtxoViewpoint, error)

FetchUtxoViewParentTemplate loads utxo details from the point of view of just having connected the given block, which must be a block template that connects to the parent of the tip of the main chain. In other words, the given block must be a sibling of the current tip of the main chain.

This should typically only be used by mining code when it is unable to generate a template that extends the current tip due to being unable to acquire the minimum required number of votes to extend it.

This function is safe for concurrent access however the returned view is NOT.

func (*BlockChain) FilterByBlockHash 

func (b *BlockChain) FilterByBlockHash(hash *chainhash.Hash) (*gcs.FilterV2, error)

FilterByBlockHash returns the version 2 GCS filter for the given block hash when it exists. This function returns the filters regardless of whether or not their associated block is part of the main chain.

func (*BlockChain) IsCheckpointCandidate 

func (b *BlockChain) IsCheckpointCandidate(block *dcrutil.Block) (bool, error)

IsCheckpointCandidate returns whether or not the passed block is a good checkpoint candidate.

The factors used to determine a good checkpoint are:

  • The block must be in the main chain
  • The block must be at least 'CheckpointConfirmations' blocks prior to the current end of the main chain
  • The timestamps for the blocks before and after the checkpoint must have timestamps which are also before and after the checkpoint, respectively (due to the median time allowance this is not always the case)
  • The block must not contain any strange transaction such as those with nonstandard scripts

The intent is that candidates are reviewed by a developer to make the final decision and then manually added to the list of checkpoints for a network.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*BlockChain) IsCurrent 

func (b *BlockChain) IsCurrent() bool

IsCurrent returns whether or not the chain believes it is current. Several factors are used to guess, but the key factors that allow the chain to believe it is current are:

LocateBlocks returns the hashes of the blocks after the first known block in the locator until the provided stop hash is reached, or up to the provided max number of block hashes.

In addition, there are two special cases:

  • When no locators are provided, the stop hash is treated as a request for that block, so it will either return the stop hash itself if it is known, or nil if it is unknown
  • When locators are provided, but none of them are known, hashes starting after the genesis block will be returned

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*BlockChain) LocateHeaders 

func (b *BlockChain) LocateHeaders(locator BlockLocator, hashStop *chainhash.Hash) []wire.BlockHeader

In addition, there are two special cases:

  • When no locators are provided, the stop hash is treated as a request for that header, so it will either return the header for the stop hash itself if it is known, or nil if it is unknown
  • When locators are provided, but none of them are known, headers starting after the genesis block will be returned

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*BlockChain) LotteryDataForBlock

func (*BlockChain) ProcessBlock 

func (b *BlockChain) ProcessBlock(block *dcrutil.Block, flags BehaviorFlags) (int64, error)

ProcessBlock is the main workhorse for handling insertion of new blocks into the block chain. It includes functionality such as rejecting duplicate blocks, ensuring blocks follow all rules, and insertion into the block chain along with best chain selection and reorganization.

It is up to the caller to ensure the blocks are processed in order since orphans are rejected.

When no errors occurred during processing, the first return value indicates the length of the fork the block extended. In the case it either extended the best chain or is now the tip of the best chain due to causing a reorganize, the fork length will be 0.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

Example

This example demonstrates how to create a new chain instance and use ProcessBlock to attempt to add a block to the chain. As the package overview documentation describes, this includes all of the Decred consensus rules. This example intentionally attempts to insert a duplicate genesis block to illustrate how an invalid block is handled. 

// Create a new database to store the accepted blocks into.  Typically
// this would be opening an existing database and would not be deleting
// and creating a new database like this, but it is done here so this is
// a complete working example and does not leave temporary files laying
// around.
mainNetParams := chaincfg.MainNetParams()
dbPath := filepath.Join(os.TempDir(), "exampleprocessblock")
_ = os.RemoveAll(dbPath)
db, err := database.Create("ffldb", dbPath, mainNetParams.Net)
if err != nil {
	fmt.Printf("Failed to create database: %v\n", err)
	return
}
defer os.RemoveAll(dbPath)
defer db.Close()

// Create a new BlockChain instance using the underlying database for
// the main bitcoin network.  This example does not demonstrate some
// of the other available configuration options such as specifying a
// notification callback and signature cache.  Also, the caller would
// ordinarily keep a reference to the median time source and add time
// values obtained from other peers on the network so the local time is
// adjusted to be in agreement with other peers.
chain, err := blockchain.New(context.Background(),
	&blockchain.Config{
		DB:          db,
		ChainParams: mainNetParams,
		TimeSource:  blockchain.NewMedianTime(),
	})
if err != nil {
	fmt.Printf("Failed to create chain instance: %v\n", err)
	return
}

// Process a block.  For this example, we are going to intentionally
// cause an error by trying to process the genesis block which already
// exists.
genesisBlock := dcrutil.NewBlock(mainNetParams.GenesisBlock)
forkLen, err := chain.ProcessBlock(genesisBlock,
	blockchain.BFNone)
if err != nil {
	fmt.Printf("Failed to create chain instance: %v\n", err)
	return
}
isMainChain := forkLen == 0
fmt.Printf("Block accepted. Is it on the main chain?: %v", isMainChain)

// This output is dependent on the genesis block, and needs to be
// updated if the mainnet genesis block is updated.

Output:

func (*BlockChain) StateLastChangedHeight 

func (b *BlockChain) StateLastChangedHeight(hash *chainhash.Hash, version uint32, deploymentID string) (int64, error)

StateLastChangedHeight returns the height at which the provided consensus deployment agenda last changed state. Note that, unlike the NextThresholdState function, this function returns the information as of the passed block hash.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*BlockChain) TSpendCountVotes 

func (b *BlockChain) TSpendCountVotes(block *chainhash.Hash, tspend *dcrutil.Tx) (yesVotes, noVotes int64, err error)

Note that this function errors if the block _after_ the specified block is outside the tpsend voting window. In particular, calling this function for the TVI block that ends the voting interval for a given tspend fails, since the next block is outside the voting interval.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*BlockChain) TicketPoolValue 

func (b *BlockChain) TicketPoolValue() (dcrutil.Amount, error)

TicketPoolValue returns the current value of all the locked funds in the ticket pool.

type BlockLocator 

type BlockLocator []*chainhash.Hash

BlockLocator is used to help locate a specific block. The algorithm for building the block locator is to add the hashes in reverse order until the genesis block is reached. In order to keep the list of locator hashes to a reasonable number of entries, first the most recent previous 12 block hashes are added, then the step is doubled each loop iteration to exponentially decrease the number of hashes as a function of the distance from the block being located.

For example, assume a block chain with a side chain as depicted below: 

genesis -> 1 -> 2 -> ... -> 15 -> 16  -> 17  -> 18
                              \-> 16a -> 17a

	//
	// headers-only:
	//   The block or one of its ancestors does not have the full block data
	//   available which also means the block can't be validated or connected.
	//
	// valid-fork:
	//   The block is fully validated which implies it was probably part of the
	//   main chain at one point and was reorganized.
	//
	// valid-headers:
	//   The full block data is available and the header is valid, but the block
	//   was never validated which implies it was probably never part of the
	//   main chain.
	Status string
}

	//
	// It should be noted that the block might still ultimately fail to
	// become the new main chain tip if it contains invalid scripts, double
