}
Expand description

The tip of a fork. A handle to the fork ancestry from its leaf in the blockchain tree. References the max height and the latest and previous blocks for convenience and the total difficulty.

Fields

height: u64

Height of the tip (max height of the fork)

last_block_h: Hash

Last block pushed to the fork

prev_block_h: Hash

Previous block

total_difficulty: Difficulty

Total difficulty accumulated on that fork

Generate a short_id via the following -

  • extract k0/k1 from block_hash hashed with the nonce (first two u64 values) * initialize a siphasher24 with k0/k1
    • self.hash() passing in the siphasher24 instance
    • drop the 2 most significant bytes (to return a 6 byte short_id)
