Struct NetworkMessage 

pub struct NetworkMessage {
    pub payload: MessagePayload,
    pub message_id: String,
    pub timestamp: i64,
}

Network message envelope

Fields

payload: MessagePayload

Message type and payload

message_id: String

Message ID for deduplication

timestamp: i64

Timestamp when message was created

Implementations

impl NetworkMessage

pub fn new(payload: MessagePayload) -> Self

Creates a new network message

pub fn to_bytes(&self) -> Result<Bytes, Error>

Serializes the message to bytes using bincode.

Wire format: bincode (length-prefixed varint sequences). Bincode is used rather than serde_json because consensus payloads embed Block and Transaction types that carry u128 fields (token amounts, gas), and serde_json does not support u128 without arbitrary_precision. Mismatched encoders/decoders previously caused honest peers to silently drop each other’s votes, stalling consensus.

pub fn from_bytes(bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<Self, Error>

Deserializes a message from bincode bytes.

pub fn topic(&self) -> &str

Returns the message topic
