Crate zksync_consensus_roles

Source
Expand description

This module provides the roles of the nodes in the network.

The roles are:

  • Node: a node that participates in the gossip network, so it receives and broadcast blocks, helps with peer discovery, etc. Every node has this role.
  • Validator: a node that participates in the consensus protocol, so it votes for blocks and produces blocks. It also participates in the validator network, which is a mesh network just for validators. Not every node has this role.
  • Attester: a node that signs the L1 batches and broadcasts the signatures known as votes to the gossip network. Not every node has this role.
