Overview ¶
Package chain provides basic blockchain primitives and interfaces.
This package defines the fundamental Block interface and common chain operations used across linear consensus implementations. It serves as the foundation for chain-based consensus modes like Nova.
Key types:
- Block: interface for blockchain blocks
- ChainState: state tracking for linear chains
- BlockID: unique block identifier type
The chain package is intentionally minimal, providing only the essential primitives needed by other consensus packages. Higher-level functionality is provided by packages like nova (linear consensus) and ray (linear driver).
See also: nova (linear consensus mode), ray (linear consensus driver).
