Type Members

1. trait Block extends ScorexLogging

   

   A block is an atomic piece of data network participates are agreed on.

   A block is an atomic piece of data network participates are agreed on.

   A block has: - transactions data: a sequence of transactions, where a transaction is an atomic state update. Some metadata is possible as well(transactions Merkle tree root, state Merkle tree root etc).

   - consensus data to check whether block was generated by a right party in a right way. E.g. "baseTarget" & "generatorSignature" fields in the Nxt block structure, nonce & difficulty in the Bitcoin block structure.

   - a signature(s) of a block generator(s)

   - additional data: block structure version no, timestamp etc

2. abstract class BlockField[T] extends BytesSerializable with JsonSerializable

   

   An abstraction of a part of a block, wrapping some data.

   An abstraction of a part of a block, wrapping some data. The wrapper interface provides binary & json serializations.

   T

   - type of a value wrapped into a blockfield
