Overview ¶
Package initialsync is run by the beacon node when the local chain is behind the network's longest chain. Initial sync works as follows: The node requests for the slot number of the most recent finalized block. The node then builds from the most recent finalized block by requesting for subsequent blocks by slot number. Once the service detects that the local chain is caught up with the network, the service hands over control to the regular sync service. Note: The behavior of initialsync will likely change as the specification changes. The most significant and highly probable change will be determining where to sync from. The beacon chain may sync from a block in the pasts X months in order to combat long-range attacks (see here: https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Proof-of-Stake-FAQs#what-is-weak-subjectivity)

Types ¶
type Config ¶
type Config struct {
SyncPollingInterval time.Duration
BlockBufferSize int
BlockAnnounceBufferSize int
BatchedBlockBufferSize int
StateBufferSize int
BeaconDB *db.BeaconDB
P2P p2pAPI
SyncService syncService
ChainService chainService
}
Config defines the configurable properties of InitialSync.
func DefaultConfig ¶
func DefaultConfig() *Config
DefaultConfig provides the default configuration for a sync service. SyncPollingInterval determines how frequently the service checks that initial sync is complete. BlockBufferSize determines that buffer size of the `blockBuf` channel. CrystallizedStateBufferSize determines the buffer size of thhe `crystallizedStateBuf` channel.
type InitialSync ¶
type InitialSync struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
InitialSync defines the main class in this package. See the package comments for a general description of the service's functions.
func NewInitialSyncService ¶
func NewInitialSyncService(ctx context.Context, cfg *Config, ) *InitialSync
NewInitialSyncService constructs a new InitialSyncService. This method is normally called by the main node.
func (*InitialSync) Stop ¶
func (s *InitialSync) Stop() error
Stop kills the initial sync goroutine.
