// block.go
type Block struct {

type headerBody struct {
ParentID thor.Bytes32
Timestamp uint64
GasLimit uint64
Beneficiary thor.Address
GasUsed uint64
TotalScore uint64

type Transactions []*Transaction
where
ParentID
is the ID of the parent block, Beneficiary
is the address assigned by the block generator to receive reward (in VTHO), and TotalScore
is the accumulated witness number of the chain branch headed by the block. We will describe what the score means when describing the Proof of Authority consensus algorithm.Let
denote
headerBody
. The block ID (thor.Bytes32
) can be computed as:
where
is the block number stored as a
uint32
and the operation that discards the first four bytes.
