Struct Block 

pub struct Block {
    pub header: BlockHeader,
    pub events: Vec<AuditEvent>,
}

A complete block with header and events.

Fields

header: BlockHeader

events: Vec<AuditEvent>

Implementations

impl Block

pub fn hash(&self) -> BlockHash

Get the block hash.

pub fn validate(&self, parent: Option<&BlockHeader>) -> Result<()>

Validate the block (sequential event verification).

For better performance with many events, use validate_batch() instead.

pub fn validate_batch(&self, parent: Option<&BlockHeader>) -> Result<()>

Validate the block using batch signature verification.

This is 3-8x faster than validate() for blocks with many events, using Arcanum’s optimized Ed25519 batch verifier.

Performance

• 10 events: ~2x faster
• 100 events: ~4x faster
• 1000 events: ~6-8x faster

pub fn validate_parallel(&self, parent: Option<&BlockHeader>) -> Result<()>

Validate the block using fully parallel processing.

Uses batch signature verification (the main speedup) combined with parallel canonical bytes computation for large blocks (1000+ events).

Note: Parallel merkle tree is not used because BLAKE3 is already SIMD-accelerated, making parallelization overhead counterproductive.

Performance

• Uses all available CPU cores for signature verification
• 100 events: ~2.5x faster than sequential
• 500 events: ~2.5x faster than sequential
• 1000+ events: ~2.7x faster than sequential (parallel canonical bytes kicks in)

When to Use

• Blocks with many events where signature verification dominates
• For bulk validation of historical blocks

pub fn event_ids(&self) -> Vec<EventId>

Get event IDs in this block.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Block

fn clone(&self) -> Block

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Block

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for Block

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl PartialEq for Block

fn eq(&self, other: &Block) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Serialize for Block

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.

impl Eq for Block

impl StructuralPartialEq for Block
