ChainHeaderReader defines a small collection of methods needed to access the local blockchain during header verification.

type ChainReader

	GetBlock(hash types.Hash, number uint64) block.IBlock

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

type Engine

Engine is an algorithm agnostic consensus engine.

type EngineReader

type EngineReader interface {

	// block, which may be different from the header's coinbase if a consensus
	// engine is based on signatures.

EngineReader are read-only methods of the consensus engine All of these methods should have thread-safe implementations
