Module ethcore::engines [−] [src]

Consensus engine specification and basic implementations.

Re-exports

pub use self::epoch::EpochVerifier;

pub use self::epoch::Transition as EpochTransition;

block_reward	A module with types for declaring block rewards and a client interface for interacting with a block reward contract.
epoch	Epoch verifiers and transitions.

AuthorityRound	Engine using `AuthorityRound` proof-of-authority BFT consensus.
BasicAuthority	Engine using `BasicAuthority`, trivial proof-of-authority consensus.
InstantSeal	An engine which does not provide any consensus mechanism, just seals blocks internally. Only seals blocks which have transactions.
NullEngine	An engine which does not provide any consensus mechanism and does not seal blocks.
Tendermint	Engine using `Tendermint` consensus algorithm, suitable for EVM chain.

ConstructedVerifier	Generated epoch verifier.
EngineError	Voting errors.
EpochChange	Results of a query of whether an epoch change occurred at the given block.
ForkChoice	Fork choice.
Proof	Proof generated on epoch change.
Seal	Seal type.

Default EIP-210 contract code. As defined in https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/210

Engine	A consensus mechanism for the chain. Generally either proof-of-work or proof-of-stake-based. Provides hooks into each of the major parts of block import.
EthEngine	Common type alias for an engine coupled with an Ethereum-like state machine.
StateDependentProof	Proof dependent on state.

Check whether a given block is the best block based on the default total difficulty rule.

Headers	Type alias for a function we can get headers by hash through.
PendingTransitionStore	Type alias for a function we can query pending transitions by block hash through.
SystemCall	A system-calling closure. Enacts calls on a block's state from the system address.
