Types

type ChainReader

type ChainReader interface {
	// Config retrieves the blockchain's chain configuration.
	Config() *params.ChainConfig

	// CurrentHeader retrieves the current header from the local chain.
	CurrentHeader() *types.Header

	// GetHeader retrieves a block header from the database by hash and number.
	GetHeader(hash common.Hash, number uint64) *types.Header

	// GetHeaderByNumber retrieves a block header from the database by number.
	GetHeaderByNumber(number uint64) *types.Header

	// GetHeaderByHash retrieves a block header from the database by its hash.
	GetHeaderByHash(hash common.Hash) *types.Header

	// GetBlock retrieves a block from the database by hash and number.
	GetBlock(hash common.Hash, number uint64) *types.Block
}

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

type CommitteeElection

type CommitteeElection interface {
	// VerifySigns verify the fast chain committee signatures in batches
	VerifySigns(pvs []*types.PbftSign) ([]*types.CommitteeMember, []error)

	// VerifySwitchInfo verify committee members and it's state
	VerifySwitchInfo(fastnumber *big.Int, info []*types.CommitteeMember) error

	FinalizeCommittee(block *types.Block) error

	//Get a list of committee members
	//GetCommittee(FastNumber *big.Int, FastHash common.Hash) (*big.Int, []*types.CommitteeMember)
	GetCommittee(fastNumber *big.Int) []*types.CommitteeMember

	GenerateFakeSigns(fb *types.Block) ([]*types.PbftSign, error)
}

	// Author retrieves the Ethereum address of the account that minted the given
	// block, which may be different from the header's coinbase if a consensus
	// engine is based on signatures.
	Author(header *types.Header) (common.Address, error)
	AuthorSnail(header *types.SnailHeader) (common.Address, error)

	// VerifyHeader checks whether a header conforms to the consensus rules of a
	// given engine. Verifying the seal may be done optionally here, or explicitly
	// via the VerifySeal method.
	VerifyHeader(chain ChainReader, header *types.Header) error
	VerifySnailHeader(chain SnailChainReader, fastchain ChainReader, header *types.SnailHeader, seal bool, isFruit bool) error

	// VerifyHeaders is similar to VerifyHeader, but verifies a batch of headers
	// concurrently. 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).
	VerifyHeaders(chain ChainReader, headers []*types.Header, seals []bool) (chan<- struct{}, <-chan error)

	// VerifySnailHeaders is similar to VerifySnailHeader, but verifies a batch of headers concurrently.

	// rules of a particular engine. The changes are executed inline.
	Prepare(chain ChainReader, header *types.Header) error
	PrepareSnail(chain ChainReader, snailchain SnailChainReader, header *types.SnailHeader) error

	// Finalize runs any post-transaction state modifications (e.g. block rewards)
	// and assembles the final block.
	// Note: The block header and state database might be updated to reflect any
	// consensus rules that happen at finalization (e.g. block rewards).
	Finalize(chain ChainReader, header *types.Header, state *state.StateDB,
		txs []*types.Transaction, receipts []*types.Receipt, feeAmount *big.Int) (*types.Block, error)
	FinalizeSnail(chain SnailChainReader, header *types.SnailHeader,
		uncles []*types.SnailHeader, fruits []*types.SnailBlock, signs []*types.PbftSign) (*types.SnailBlock, error)

	FinalizeCommittee(block *types.Block) error

	// Seal generates a new block for the given input block with the local miner's
	Seal(chain SnailChainReader, block *types.SnailBlock, stop <-chan struct{}) (*types.SnailBlock, error)

	// ConSeal generates a new block for the given input block with the local miner's
	// seal place on top.
	ConSeal(chain SnailChainReader, block *types.SnailBlock, stop <-chan struct{}, send chan *types.SnailBlock)

	CalcSnailDifficulty(chain SnailChainReader, time uint64, parents []*types.SnailHeader) *big.Int

	GetDifficulty(header *types.SnailHeader, isFruit bool) (*big.Int, *big.Int)

	// APIs returns the RPC APIs this consensus engine provides.
	APIs(chain ChainReader) []rpc.API

	DataSetHash(block uint64) []byte
}

Engine is an algorithm agnostic consensus engine.

type PoW

type PoW interface {
	Engine

	// Hashrate returns the current mining hashrate of a PoW consensus engine.
	Hashrate() float64
}

PoW is a consensus engine based on proof-of-work.

type SnailChainReader

type SnailChainReader interface {
	// Config retrieves the blockchain's chain configuration.
	Config() *params.ChainConfig

	// CurrentHeader retrieves the current header from the local chain.
	CurrentHeader() *types.SnailHeader

	// GetHeader retrieves a block header from the database by hash and number.
	GetHeader(hash common.Hash, number uint64) *types.SnailHeader

	// GetHeaderByNumber retrieves a block header from the database by number.
	GetHeaderByNumber(number uint64) *types.SnailHeader

	// GetHeaderByHash retrieves a block header from the database by its hash.
	GetHeaderByHash(hash common.Hash) *types.SnailHeader

	// GetBlock retrieves a block from the database by hash and number.
	GetBlock(hash common.Hash, number uint64) *types.SnailBlock
