Trait Consensus

pub trait Consensus<H = Header, B = BlockBody>: AsHeaderValidator<H> {
    // Required methods
    fn validate_body_against_header(
        &self,
        body: &B,
        header: &SealedHeader<H>,
    ) -> Result<(), ConsensusError>;
    fn validate_block_pre_execution(
        &self,
        block: &SealedBlock<H, B>,
    ) -> Result<(), ConsensusError>;
}

Consensus is a protocol that chooses canonical chain.

Required Methods

fn validate_body_against_header( &self, body: &B, header: &SealedHeader<H>, ) -> Result<(), ConsensusError>

Ensures that body field values match the header.

fn validate_block_pre_execution( &self, block: &SealedBlock<H, B>, ) -> Result<(), ConsensusError>

Validate a block disregarding world state, i.e. things that can be checked before sender recovery and execution.

See the Yellow Paper sections 4.3.2 “Holistic Validity”, 4.3.4 “Block Header Validity”, and 11.1 “Ommer Validation”.

This should not be called for the genesis block.

Note: validating blocks does not include other validations of the Consensus
