Functions

func BuildBlock

func BuildBlock(params BuildBlockParams) *types.Block

BuildBlock is a utility function that builds a block, based on the passed in header, transactions and receipts

Types

type BuildBlockParams

type BuildBlockParams struct {
	Header   *types.Header
	Txns     []*types.Transaction
	Receipts []*types.Receipt
}

BuildBlockParams are parameters passed into the BuildBlock helper method

type Config

type Config struct {
	// Logger to be used by the backend
	Logger *log.Logger

	// Params are the params of the chain and the consensus
	Params *chain.Params

	// Config defines specific configuration parameters for the backend
	Config map[string]interface{}

	// Path is the directory path for the consensus protocol tos tore information
	Path string
}

Config is the configuration for the consensus

type Consensus

type Consensus interface {
	// VerifyHeader verifies the header is correct
	VerifyHeader(header *types.Header) error

	// ProcessHeaders updates the snapshot based on the verified headers
	ProcessHeaders(headers []*types.Header) error

	// GetBlockCreator retrieves the block creator (or signer) given the block header
	GetBlockCreator(header *types.Header) (types.Address, error)

	// PreStateCommit a hook to be called before finalizing state transition on inserting block
	PreStateCommit(header *types.Header, txn *state.Transition) error

	// GetSyncProgression retrieves the current sync progression, if any
	GetSyncProgression() *progress.Progression

	// Initialize initializes the consensus (e.g. setup data)
	Initialize() error

	// Start starts the consensus and servers
	Start() error

	// Close closes the connection
	Close() error

	// Is a transaction systemctem transaction on a specific block height and coinbase
	IsSystemTransaction(height uint64, coinbase types.Address, tx *types.Transaction) bool
}

Consensus is the public interface for consensus mechanism Each consensus mechanism must implement this interface in order to be valid

type ConsensusParams

type ConsensusParams struct {
	Context        context.Context
	Seal           bool
	Config         *Config
	Txpool         *txpool.TxPool
	Network        network.Server
	Blockchain     *blockchain.Blockchain
	Executor       *state.Executor
	Grpc           *grpc.Server
	Logger         hclog.Logger
	Metrics        *Metrics
	SecretsManager secrets.SecretsManager
	BlockTime      uint64
	BlockBroadcast bool
}

type Factory

type Factory func(
	*ConsensusParams,
) (Consensus, error)

Factory is the factory function to create a discovery backend

type Metrics

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

Metrics represents the consensus metrics

func GetPrometheusMetrics

func GetPrometheusMetrics(namespace string, labelsWithValues ...string) *Metrics

GetPrometheusMetrics return the consensus metrics instance

func NilMetrics

func NilMetrics() *Metrics

NilMetrics will return the non operational metrics

func (*Metrics) SetBlockInterval

func (m *Metrics) SetBlockInterval(val float64)

func (*Metrics) SetNumTxs

func (m *Metrics) SetNumTxs(val float64)

func (*Metrics) SetRounds

func (m *Metrics) SetRounds(val float64)

func (*Metrics) SetValidators

func (m *Metrics) SetValidators(val float64)

type NoProof

type NoProof struct {
}

NoProof is a consensus algorithm that validates everything

func (*NoProof) Close

func (n *NoProof) Close() error

Close closes the connection

func (*NoProof) Finalize

func (n *NoProof) Finalize(txn *state.Txn, block *types.Block) error

func (*NoProof) Prepare

func (n *NoProof) Prepare(header *types.Header) error

Prepare initializes the consensus fields of a block header according to the rules of a particular engine. The changes are executed inline.

func (*NoProof) Seal

func (n *NoProof) Seal(block *types.Block, ctx context.Context) (*types.Block, error)

Seal seals the block

func (*NoProof) VerifyHeader

func (n *NoProof) VerifyHeader(header *types.Header, uncle, seal bool) error

VerifyHeader verifies the header is correct
