Overview

Package istanbul is a BFT based consensus engine which implements consensus/Engine interface. Istanbul engine was inspired by Clique POA, Hyperledger's SBFT, Tendermint, HydraChain and NCCU BFT.

Istanbul engine is using 3-phase consensus and it can tolerate F faulty nodes where N = 3F + 1

In Klaytn, it is being used as the main consensus engine after modification for supports of Committee, Reward and Governance. Package istanbul has three sub-packages, core, backend, and validator. Please refer to each package's doc.go for more information.

Various interfaces, constants and utility functions for Istanbul consensus engine

  • `backend.go`: Defines Backend interface which provides application specific functions for Istanbul core
  • `config.go`: Provides default configuration for Istanbul engine
  • `errors.go`: Defines three errors used in Istanbul engine
  • `events.go`: Defines events which are used for Istanbul engine communication
  • `types.go`: Defines message structs such as Proposal, Request, View, Preprepare, Subject and ConsensusMsg
  • `utils.go`: Provides three utility functions: RLPHash, GetSignatureAddress and CheckValidatorSignature
