Variables ¶
var ( // ErrInvalidTimestamp is returned if the timestamp of a block is lower than // the previous block's timestamp + the minimum block period. ErrInvalidTimestamp = errors.New("invalid timestamp") )
Various error messages to mark blocks invalid. These should be private to prevent engine specific errors from being referenced in the remainder of the codebase, inherently breaking if the engine is swapped out. Please put common error types into the consensus package.
Functions ¶
func CalcDifficulty ¶
CalcDifficulty is the difficulty adjustment algorithm. It returns the difficulty that a new block should have based on the previous blocks in the chain and the current signer.
func CliqueRLP ¶
CliqueRLP returns the rlp bytes which needs to be signed for the proof-of-authority sealing. The RLP to sign consists of the entire header apart from the 65 byte signature contained at the end of the extra data.
Note, the method requires the extra data to be at least 65 bytes, otherwise it panics. This is done to avoid accidentally using both forms (signature present or not), which could be abused to produce different hashes for the same header.
Types ¶
type API ¶
type API struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
API is a user facing RPC API to allow controlling the signer and voting mechanisms of the proof-of-authority scheme.
func (*API) Discard ¶
Discard drops a currently running proposal, stopping the signer from casting further votes (either for or against).
func (*API) GetSigners ¶
GetSigners retrieves the list of authorized signers at the specified block.
func (*API) GetSignersAtHash ¶
GetSignersAtHash retrieves the list of authorized signers at the specified block.
func (*API) GetSnapshot ¶
func (api *API) GetSnapshot(number *rpc.BlockNumber) (*Snapshot, error)
GetSnapshot retrieves the state snapshot at a given block.
func (*API) GetSnapshotAtHash ¶
GetSnapshotAtHash retrieves the state snapshot at a given block.
type Clique ¶
type Clique struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Clique is the proof-of-authority consensus engine proposed to support the Ethereum testnet following the Ropsten attacks.
func New ¶
New creates a Clique proof-of-authority consensus engine with the initial signers set to the ones provided by the user.
func (*Clique) APIs ¶
func (c *Clique) APIs(chain consensus.ChainReader) []rpc.API
APIs implements consensus.Engine, returning the user facing RPC API to allow controlling the signer voting.
func (*Clique) Author ¶
Author implements consensus.Engine, returning the Ethereum address recovered from the signature in the header's extra-data section.
func (*Clique) Authorize ¶
Authorize injects a private key into the consensus engine to mint new blocks with.
func (*Clique) CalcDifficulty ¶
func (c *Clique) CalcDifficulty(chain consensus.ChainReader, time uint64, parent *types.Header) *big.Int
CalcDifficulty is the difficulty adjustment algorithm. It returns the difficulty that a new block should have based on the previous blocks in the chain and the current signer.
func (*Clique) Close ¶
Close implements consensus.Engine. It's a noop for clique as there are no background threads.
func (*Clique) Finalize ¶
func (c *Clique) Finalize(chain consensus.ChainReader, header *types.Header, state *state.StateDB, txs []*types.Transaction, uncles []*types.Header, receipts []*types.Receipt) (*types.Block, error)
Finalize implements consensus.Engine, ensuring no uncles are set, nor block rewards given, and returns the final block.
func (*Clique) Prepare ¶
Prepare implements consensus.Engine, preparing all the consensus fields of the header for running the transactions on top.
func (*Clique) Seal ¶
func (c *Clique) Seal(chain consensus.ChainReader, block *types.Block, results func(block *types.Block)) error
Seal implements consensus.Engine, attempting to create a sealed block using the local signing credentials.
func (*Clique) VerifyHeader ¶
VerifyHeader checks whether a header conforms to the consensus rules.
func (*Clique) VerifyHeaders ¶
func (c *Clique) VerifyHeaders(chain consensus.ChainReader, headers []*types.Header, seals []bool) (chan<- struct{}, <-chan error)
VerifyHeaders is similar to VerifyHeader, but verifies a batch of headers. The method returns a quit channel to abort the operations and a results channel to retrieve the async verifications (the order is that of the input slice).
func (*Clique) VerifySeal ¶
VerifySeal implements consensus.Engine, checking whether the signature contained in the header satisfies the consensus protocol requirements.
func (*Clique) VerifyUncles ¶
VerifyUncles implements consensus.Engine, always returning an error for any uncles as this consensus mechanism doesn't permit uncles.
type SignerFn ¶
SignerFn is a signer callback function to request a header to be signed by a backing account.
type Snapshot ¶
type Snapshot struct { Number uint64 `json:"number"` // Block number where the snapshot was created Hash common.Hash `json:"hash"` // Block hash where the snapshot was created Signers map[common.Address]struct{} `json:"signers"` // Set of authorized signers at this moment Recents map[uint64]common.Address `json:"recents"` // Set of recent signers for spam protections Votes []*Vote `json:"votes"` // List of votes cast in chronological order Tally map[common.Address]Tally `json:"tally"` // Current vote tally to avoid recalculating // contains filtered or unexported fields }
Snapshot is the state of the authorization voting at a given point in time.
type Tally ¶
type Tally struct { Authorize bool `json:"authorize"` // Whether the vote is about authorizing or kicking someone Votes int `json:"votes"` // Number of votes until now wanting to pass the proposal }
Tally is a simple vote tally to keep the current score of votes. Votes that go against the proposal aren't counted since it's equivalent to not voting.
type Vote ¶
type Vote struct { Signer common.Address `json:"signer"` // Authorized signer that cast this vote Block uint64 `json:"block"` // Block number the vote was cast in (expire old votes) Address common.Address `json:"address"` // Account being voted on to change its authorization Authorize bool `json:"authorize"` // Whether to authorize or deauthorize the voted account }
Vote represents a single vote that an authorized signer made to modify the list of authorizations.
