Proof of work consensus for Substrate. //! //! To use this engine, you can need to have a struct that implements //! `PowAlgorithm`.

The auxiliary storage for PoW engine only stores the total difficulty. //! For other storage requirements for particular PoW algorithm (such as //! the actual difficulty for each particular blocks), you can take a client //! reference in your `PowAlgorithm` implementation, and use a separate prefix //! for the auxiliary storage. It is also possible to just use the runtime //! as the storage, but it is not recommended as it won't work well with light //! clients. use std::sync::Arc; use std::any::Any; use std::borrow::Cow; use std::thread; use std::collections::HashMap; use std::marker::PhantomData; use sc_client_api::{BlockOf, backend::AuxStore}; use sp_blockchain::{HeaderBackend, ProvideCache, well_known_cache_keys::Id as CacheKeyId}; use sp_block_builder::BlockBuilder as BlockBuilderApi; use sp_runtime::{Justification, RuntimeString}; use sp_runtime::generic::{BlockId, Digest, DigestItem}; use sp_runtime::traits::{Block as BlockT, Header as HeaderT}; use sp_api::ProvideRuntimeApi; use sp_consensus_pow::{Seal, TotalDifficulty, POW_ENGINE_ID}; use sp_inherents::{InherentDataProviders, InherentData}; use sp_consensus::{ BlockImportParams, BlockOrigin, ForkChoiceStrategy, SyncOracle, Environment, Proposer, SelectChain, Error as ConsensusError, CanAuthorWith, RecordProof, BlockImport, BlockCheckParams, ImportResult, }; use sp_consensus::import_queue::{ BoxBlockImport, BasicQueue, Verifier, BoxJustificationImport, BoxFinalityProofImport, }; use codec::{Encode, Decode}; use prometheus_endpoint::Registry; use sc_client_api; use log::*; use sp_timestamp::{InherentError as TIError, TimestampInherentData}; #[derive(derive_more::Display, Debug)] pub enum Error { #[display(fmt = "Header uses the wrong engine {:?}", _0)] WrongEngine([u8; 4]), #[display(fmt = "Header {:?} is unsealed", _0)] HeaderUnsealed(B::Hash), #[display(fmt = "PoW validation error: invalid seal")] InvalidSeal, #[display(fmt = "PoW validation error: preliminary verification failed")] FailedPreliminaryVerify, #[display(fmt = "Rejecting block too far in future")] TooFarInFuture, #[display(fmt = "Fetching best header failed using select chain: {:?}", _0)] BestHeaderSelectChain(ConsensusError), #[display(fmt = "Fetching best header failed: {:?}", _0)] BestHeader(sp_blockchain::Error), #[display(fmt = "Best header does not exist")] NoBestHeader, #[display(fmt = "Block proposing error: {:?}", _0)] BlockProposingError(String), #[display(fmt = "Fetch best hash failed via select chain: {:?}", _0)] BestHashSelectChain(ConsensusError), #[display(fmt = "Error with block built on {:?}: {:?}", _0, _1)] BlockBuiltError(B::Hash, ConsensusError), #[display(fmt = "Creating inherents failed: {}", _0)] CreateInherents(sp_inherents::Error), #[display(fmt = "Checking inherents failed: {}", _0)] CheckInherents(String), Client(sp_blockchain::Error), Codec(codec::Error), Environment(String), Runtime(RuntimeString) } impl std::convert::From> for String { fn from(error: Error) -> String { error.to_string() } } impl std::convert::From> for ConsensusError { fn from(error: Error) -> ConsensusError { ConsensusError::ClientImport(error.to_string()) } } /// Auxiliary storage prefix for PoW engine. pub const POW_AUX_PREFIX: [u8; 4] = *b"PoW:"; /// Get the auxiliary storage key used by engine to store total difficulty. fn aux_key>(hash: &T) -> Vec { POW_AUX_PREFIX.iter().chain(hash.as_ref()).copied().collect() } /// Intermediate value passed to block importer. #[derive(Encode, Decode, Clone, Debug, Default)] pub struct PowIntermediate { /// Difficulty of the block, if known. pub difficulty: Option, } /// Intermediate key for PoW engine. pub static INTERMEDIATE_KEY: &[u8] = b"pow1"; /// Auxiliary storage data for PoW. #[derive(Encode, Decode, Clone, Debug, Default)] pub struct PowAux { /// Difficulty of the current block. pub difficulty: Difficulty, /// Total difficulty up to current block. pub total_difficulty: Difficulty, } impl PowAux where Difficulty: Decode + Default, { /// Read the auxiliary from client. pub fn read(client: &C, hash: &B::Hash) -> Result> { let key = aux_key(&hash); match client.get_aux(&key).map_err(Error::Client)?
