convex.core.MergeContext

public class MergeContext
extends Object

Class representing the context to be used for a Belief merge/update function. This context must be created by a Peer to perform a valid Belief merge. It can be safely discarded after use. SECURITY: contains a hot key pair! We need this to sign new belief updates including any chains we want to communicate. Don't allow this to leak anywhere!
