Expand description

Type representing a commit index on Rialo. In Rialo there are currently 3 representations of a block height:

  • Round: A round is a representation of a block height in the consensus layer. Each round contains a fixed number of blocks. A round is identified by a u32 index.
  • Commit index: A commit index is a representation of a block height in the execution layer. Each commit index corresponds to a DAG that is an output from consensus. A commit index is identified by a u32 index.
  • Slot: A slot is a representation of a block height in the Solana layer. Each slot corresponds to a block in the Solana layer. A slot is identified by a u32 index.

On Rialo we use commit indexes to represent block heights in the execution layer. This makes the value for a Commit Index and a Slot the same, but they represent different concepts. The Commit type used here is leverage at execution time around the Virtual Machine, thus it follows the u64 type used in Solana for slots.
