Module node

Main file for this blockchain. A node is the central task that runs and handles important events, such as new blocks, peer connection/disconnection, new addresses, etc. A node should not care about peer-specific messages, peers’ll handle things like pings.

Modules

chain_selector_ctx

A module that connects with multiple peers and finds the best chain.

running_ctx

After a node catches-up with the network, we can start listening for new blocks, handing any request our user might make and keep our peers alive. This mode requires way less bandwidth and CPU to run, being bound by the number of blocks found in a given period.

sync_ctx

A node that downloads and validates the blockchain.

Structs

AddedPeerInfo

A simple struct of added peers, used to track the ones we added manually by addnode <ip:port> add command.

LocalPeerView

Local information kept about each peer

NodeCommon

UtreexoNode

The main node that operates while florestad is up.

Enums

ConnectionKind

The kind of connection we see this peer as.

NodeNotification

NodeRequest

Sent from node to peers, usually to request something

PeerStatus

Constants
