Module verifier

source
Expand description

Stateless and parallelized block verification that happens before block is imported (except for locally produced blocks that are imported directly).

The goal of verifier is to check internal consistency of the block, which includes things like solution according to claimed inputs, signature, Proof of Time checkpoints in justifications, etc.

This should be the majority of the block verification computation such that all that is left for block_import to check is that information in the block corresponds to the state of the parent block, which for the most part is comparing bytes against known good values.

This is a significant tradeoff in the protocol: having a smaller header vs being able to verify a lot of things stateless and in parallel.
