Trait identifying the block header type.

Required Associated Types

type Id: BlockId

The block header id.

type Date: BlockDate

The block date.

type ChainLength: ChainLength

the length of the blockchain (number of blocks)

type Version

the type associated to the version of a block

Required Methods

fn id(&self) -> Self::Id

Retrieves the block’s header id.

fn parent_id(&self) -> Self::Id

get the parent block identifier (the previous block in the blockchain).

fn date(&self) -> Self::Date

Retrieves the block’s date.

fn version(&self) -> Self::Version

access the version of a given block

fn chain_length(&self) -> Self::ChainLength

get the block’s chain length. The number of block created following this thread of blocks on the blockchain (including Self).
