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

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) GetSigners

func (api *API) GetSigners(number *rpc.BlockNumber) ([]common.Address, error)

GetSigners retrieves the list of authorized signers at the specified block.

func (*API) GetSignersAtHash

func (api *API) GetSignersAtHash(hash common.Hash) ([]common.Address, error)

GetSignersAtHash retrieves the state snapshot at a given block.

func (*API) GetSnapshot

func (api *API) GetSnapshot(number *rpc.BlockNumber) (*DposSnapshot, error)

GetSnapshot retrieves the state snapshot at a given block.

func (*API) GetSnapshotAtHash

func (api *API) GetSnapshotAtHash(hash common.Hash) (*DposSnapshot, error)

GetSnapshotAtHash retrieves the state snapshot at a given block.

type Dpos

type Dpos struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Dpos is the proof-of-authority consensus engine proposed to support the WorldOpenNetwork testnet following the Ropsten attacks.

func New

func New(config *params.DposConfig, db wondb.Database) *Dpos

New creates a Dpos proof-of-authority consensus engine with the initial signers set to the ones provided by the user.

func (*Dpos) APIs

func (c *Dpos) APIs(chain consensus.ChainReader) []rpc.API

APIs implements consensus.Engine, returning the user facing RPC API to allow controlling the signer voting.

func (*Dpos) Author

func (c *Dpos) Author(header *types.Header) (common.Address, error)

Author implements consensus.Engine, returning the WorldOpenNetwork address recovered from the signature in the header's extra-data section.

func (*Dpos) Authorize

func (c *Dpos) Authorize(signer common.Address, signFn SignerFn)

Authorize injects a private key into the consensus engine to mint new blocks with.

func (*Dpos) CalcDifficulty

func (c *Dpos) 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 (*Dpos) CalcDifficultyInternal

func (c *Dpos) CalcDifficultyInternal(snap *DposSnapshot, 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 (*Dpos) CalcNonce

func (c *Dpos) CalcNonce(snap *DposSnapshot, chain consensus.ChainReader, time uint64, parent *types.Header) uint64

func (*Dpos) Finalize

func (c *Dpos) 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 (*Dpos) Prepare

func (c *Dpos) Prepare(chain consensus.ChainReader, header *types.Header) error

Prepare implements consensus.Engine, preparing all the consensus fields of the header for running the transactions on top.

func (*Dpos) Seal

func (c *Dpos) Seal(chain consensus.ChainReader, block *types.Block, stop <-chan struct{}) (*types.Block, error)

Seal implements consensus.Engine, attempting to create a sealed block using the local signing credentials.

func (*Dpos) VerifyHeader

func (c *Dpos) VerifyHeader(chain consensus.ChainReader, header *types.Header, seal bool) error

VerifyHeader checks whether a header conforms to the consensus rules.

func (*Dpos) VerifyHeaders

func (c *Dpos) 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 (*Dpos) VerifySeal

func (c *Dpos) VerifySeal(chain consensus.ChainReader, header *types.Header) error

VerifySeal implements consensus.Engine, checking whether the signature contained in the header satisfies the consensus protocol requirements.

func (*Dpos) VerifyUncles

func (c *Dpos) VerifyUncles(chain consensus.ChainReader, block *types.Block) error

VerifyUncles implements consensus.Engine, always returning an error for any uncles as this consensus mechanism doesn't permit uncles.

type DposSnapshot

type DposSnapshot 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
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Snapshot is the state of the authorization voting at a given point in time.

type SignerFn

type SignerFn func(accounts.Account, []byte) ([]byte, error)

SignerFn is a signer callback function to request a hash to be signed by a backing account.
