* add signed wrapper, typedef SignedStatement * typedef SignedAvailabilityBitfield * implement Signed wrapper This is strictly an addition as of this commit; nothing is yet changed in existing behavior. * inline getters, remove review comment * move EncodeAs, Signed from node::primitives to primitives::parachain * Refactor SignedAvailabilityBitfield to use Signed * don't double-encode real payload This isn't an ideal solution, because it depends on the implementation details of how SCALE encodes tuples, but OTOH that behavior seems unlikely to change anytime soon. * fix build errors * cause the runtime to build properly with the new changes Not sure why cargo check didn't catch this earlier; oh well. * fix runtime tests and separate SignedStatement from SignedFullStatement * better explain why CompactStatement exists Co-authored-by: Robert Habermeier <rphmeier@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Robert Habermeier <rphmeier@gmail.com>
Preamble
This document aims to describe the purpose, functionality, and implementation of a host for Polkadot's parachains. It is not for the implementor of a specific parachain but rather for the implementor of the Parachain Host, which provides security and advancement for constituent parachains. In practice, this is for the implementors of Polkadot.
There are a number of other documents describing the research in more detail. All referenced documents will be linked here and should be read alongside this document for the best understanding of the full picture. However, this is the only document which aims to describe key aspects of Polkadot's particular instantiation of much of that research down to low-level technical details and software architecture.
