Types ¶
type ChainHeaderReader ¶
type ChainHeaderReader 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
}
ChainHeaderReader defines a small collection of methods needed to access the local blockchain during header verification.
type ChainReader ¶
type ChainReader interface {
ChainHeaderReader
// 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 Democracy ¶
type Democracy interface {
Engine
// PreHandle runs any pre-transaction state modifications (e.g. apply hard fork rules).
//
// Note: The block header and state database might be updated to reflect any
// consensus rules that happen at pre-handling.
PreHandle(chain ChainHeaderReader, header *types.Header, state *state.StateDB) error
// VerifyAttestation checks whether an attestation is valid,
// and if it's valid, return the signer,
// and a threshold that indicates how many attestations can finalize a block.
VerifyAttestation(chain ChainHeaderReader, a *types.Attestation) (common.Address, int, error)
// CurrentValidator Get the verifier address in the current consensus
CurrentValidator() common.Address
MaxValidators() uint8
// Attest trys to give an attestation on current chain when a ChainHeadEvent is fired.
Attest(chain ChainHeaderReader, headerNum *big.Int, source, target *types.RangeEdge) (*types.Attestation, error)
CurrentNeedHandleHeight(headerNum uint64) (uint64, error)
AttestationDelay() uint64
// IsReadyAttest Whether it meets the conditions for executing interest
IsReadyAttest() bool
AttestationStatus() uint8
StartAttestation()
// AttestationThreshold Get the attestation threshold at the specified height
AttestationThreshold(chain ChainHeaderReader, hash common.Hash, number uint64) (int, error)
Validators(chain ChainHeaderReader, hash common.Hash, number uint64) ([]common.Address, error)
// CalculateGasPool calculate the expected max gas used for a block
CalculateGasPool(header *types.Header) uint64
GetDb() ethdb.Database

// IsDoubleSignPunishTransaction checks whether a specific transaction is a system transaction.
IsDoubleSignPunishTransaction(sender common.Address, tx *types.Transaction, header *types.Header) bool
// ExtraValidateOfTx do some consensus related validation to a given transaction.
ExtraValidateOfTx(sender common.Address, tx *types.Transaction, header *types.Header) error
ApplyDoubleSignPunishTx(evm *vm.EVM, sender common.Address, tx *types.Transaction) (ret []byte, vmerr error, err error)
// IsSysTransaction checks whether a specific transaction is a system transaction.
IsSysTransaction(sender common.Address, tx *types.Transaction, header *types.Header) bool
// CanCreate determines where a given address can create a new contract.
CanCreate(state StateReader, addr common.Address, isContract bool, height *big.Int) bool
// FilterTx do a consensus-related validation on the given transaction at the given header and state.
FilterTx(sender common.Address, tx *types.Transaction, header *types.Header, parentState *state.StateDB) error
// CreateEvmAccessFilter returns a EvmAccessFilter if necessary.
CreateEvmAccessFilter(header *types.Header, parentState *state.StateDB) vm.EvmAccessFilter
// ApplyProposalTx applies a system-transaction using a given evm,
// the main purpose of this method is for tracing a system-transaction.
ApplyProposalTx(evm *vm.EVM, state *state.StateDB, txIndex int, sender common.Address, tx *types.Transaction) (ret []byte, vmerr error, err error)
}
Democracy is a consensus engine based on proof-of-stake-authority.
type Engine ¶
type Engine interface {
// 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)
// 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 ChainHeaderReader, header *types.Header, seal 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 ChainHeaderReader, headers []*types.Header, seals []bool) (chan<- struct{}, <-chan error)
// VerifyUncles verifies that the given block's uncles conform to the consensus
// rules of a given engine.
VerifyUncles(chain ChainReader, block *types.Block) error
// Prepare initializes the consensus fields of a block header according to the
// rules of a particular engine. The changes are executed inline.
Prepare(chain ChainHeaderReader, header *types.Header) error
// Finalize runs any post-transaction state modifications (e.g. block rewards)
// but does not assemble the 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 ChainHeaderReader, header *types.Header, state *state.StateDB, txs *[]*types.Transaction,
uncles []*types.Header, receipts *[]*types.Receipt, punishTxs []*types.Transaction, proposalTxs []*types.Transaction) error
// FinalizeAndAssemble 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).
FinalizeAndAssemble(chain ChainHeaderReader, header *types.Header, state *state.StateDB, txs []*types.Transaction,
uncles []*types.Header, receipts []*types.Receipt) (*types.Block, []*types.Receipt, error)
// Seal generates a new sealing request for the given input block and pushes
// the result into the given channel.
//
// Note, the method returns immediately and will send the result async. More
// than one result may also be returned depending on the consensus algorithm.
Seal(chain ChainHeaderReader, block *types.Block, results chan<- *types.Block, stop <-chan struct{}) error
// SealHash returns the hash of a block prior to it being sealed.
SealHash(header *types.Header) common.Hash
// CalcDifficulty is the difficulty adjustment algorithm. It returns the difficulty
// that a new block should have.
// Notice: this is currently only used and should be only used for test-case,
// and it's mainly for the ethash engine.
CalcDifficulty(chain ChainHeaderReader, time uint64, parent *types.Header) *big.Int
// APIs returns the RPC APIs this consensus engine provides.
APIs(chain ChainHeaderReader) []rpc.API
// Close terminates any background threads maintained by the consensus engine.
Close() error
}
Engine is an algorithm agnostic consensus engine.
