miden_client/sync/
mod.rs

1//! Provides the client APIs for synchronizing the client's local state with the Miden network. It
2//! ensures that the client maintains a valid, up-to-date view of the chain.
3//!
4//! ## Overview
5//!
6//! This module handles the synchronization process between the local client and the Miden network.
7//! The sync operation involves:
8//!
9//! - Querying the Miden node for state updates using tracked account IDs, note tags, and nullifier
10//!   prefixes.
11//! - Processing the received data to update note inclusion proofs, reconcile note state (new,
12//!   committed, or consumed), and update account states.
13//! - Incorporating new block headers and updating the local Merkle Mountain Range (MMR) with new
14//!   peaks and authentication nodes.
15//! - Aggregating transaction updates to determine which transactions have been committed or
16//!   discarded.
17//!
18//! The result of the synchronization process is captured in a [`SyncSummary`], which provides a
19//! summary of the new block number along with lists of received, committed, and consumed note IDs,
20//! updated account IDs, locked accounts, and committed transaction IDs.
21//!
22//! Once the data is requested and retrieved, updates are persisted in the client's store.
23//!
24//! ## Examples
25//!
26//! The following example shows how to initiate a state sync and handle the resulting summary:
27//!
28//! ```rust
29//! # use miden_client::auth::TransactionAuthenticator;
30//! # use miden_client::sync::SyncSummary;
31//! # use miden_client::{Client, ClientError};
32//! # use miden_protocol::{block::BlockHeader, Felt, Word};
33//! # use miden_protocol::crypto::rand::FeltRng;
34//! # async fn run_sync<AUTH: TransactionAuthenticator + Sync + 'static>(client: &mut Client<AUTH>) -> Result<(), ClientError> {
35//! // Attempt to synchronize the client's state with the Miden network.
36//! // The requested data is based on the client's state: it gets updates for accounts, relevant
37//! // notes, etc. For more information on the data that gets requested, see the doc comments for
38//! // `sync_state()`.
39//! let sync_summary: SyncSummary = client.sync_state().await?;
40//!
41//! println!("Synced up to block number: {}", sync_summary.block_num);
42//! println!("New private notes: {}", sync_summary.new_private_notes.len());
43//! println!("Committed notes: {}", sync_summary.committed_notes.len());
44//! println!("Consumed notes: {}", sync_summary.consumed_notes.len());
45//! println!("Updated accounts: {}", sync_summary.updated_accounts.len());
46//! println!("Locked accounts: {}", sync_summary.locked_accounts.len());
47//! println!("Committed transactions: {}", sync_summary.committed_transactions.len());
48//!
49//! Ok(())
50//! # }
51//! ```
52//!
53//! The `sync_state` method loops internally until the client is fully synced to the network tip.
54//!
55//! For more advanced usage, refer to the individual functions (such as `committed_note_updates` and
56//! `consumed_note_updates`) to understand how the sync data is processed and applied to the local
57//! store.
