    chain_id: U64

apply_fork

Transforms the state from the previous hard fork (old) into the block chain object for this hard fork and returns it.

When forks need to implement an irregular state transition, this function is used to handle the irregularity. See the :ref:DAO Fork <dao-fork> for an example.

Parameters

old : Previous block chain object.

Returns

new : BlockChain Upgraded block chain object for this hard fork.

def apply_fork(old: BlockChain) -> BlockChain:

    return old

get_last_256_block_hashes

Obtain the list of hashes of the previous 256 blocks in order of increasing block number.

This function will return less hashes for the first 256 blocks.

The BLOCKHASH opcode needs to access the latest hashes on the chain, therefore this function retrieves them.

Parameters

chain : History and current state.

Returns

recent_block_hashes : List[Hash32] Hashes of the recent 256 blocks in order of increasing block number.

171
    recent_block_hashes.append(most_recent_block_hash)
172
173
    return recent_block_hashes

state_transition

Attempts to apply a block to an existing block chain.

All parts of the block's contents need to be verified before being added to the chain. Blocks are verified by ensuring that the contents of the block make logical sense with the contents of the parent block. The information in the block's header must also match the corresponding information in the block.

To implement Ethereum, in theory clients are only required to store the most recent 255 blocks of the chain since as far as execution is concerned, only those blocks are accessed. Practically, however, clients should store more blocks to handle reorgs.

Parameters

chain : History and current state. block : Block to apply to chain.

validate_header

Verifies a block header.

In order to consider a block's header valid, the logic for the quantities in the header should match the logic for the block itself. For example the header timestamp should be greater than the block's parent timestamp because the block was created after the parent block. Additionally, the block's number should be directly following the parent block's number since it is the next block in the sequence.

Parameters

chain : History and current state. header : Header to check for correctness.

apply_body

Executes a block.

Many of the contents of a block are stored in data structures called tries. There is a transactions trie which is similar to a ledger of the transactions stored in the current block. There is also a receipts trie which stores the results of executing a transaction, like the post state and gas used. This function creates and executes the block that is to be added to the chain.

Parameters

block_env : The block scoped environment. transactions : Transactions included in the block. withdrawals : Withdrawals to be processed in the current block.

Returns

block_output : The block output for the current block.

process_transaction

Execute a transaction against the provided environment.

This function processes the actions needed to execute a transaction. It decrements the sender's account balance after calculating the gas fee and refunds them the proper amount after execution. Calling contracts, deploying code, and incrementing nonces are all examples of actions that happen within this function or from a call made within this function.

Accounts that are marked for deletion are processed and destroyed after execution.

Parameters

block_env : Environment for the Ethereum Virtual Machine. block_output : The block output for the current block. tx : Transaction to execute. index: Index of the transaction in the block.

check_gas_limit

Validates the gas limit for a block.

The bounds of the gas limit, max_adjustment_delta, is set as the quotient of the parent block's gas limit and the LIMIT_ADJUSTMENT_FACTOR. Therefore, if the gas limit that is passed through as a parameter is greater than or equal to the sum of the parent's gas and the adjustment delta then the limit for gas is too high and fails this function's check. Similarly, if the limit is less than or equal to the difference of the parent's gas and the adjustment delta or the predefined LIMIT_MINIMUM then this function's check fails because the gas limit doesn't allow for a sufficient or reasonable amount of gas to be used on a block.

Parameters

gas_limit : Gas limit to validate.

parent_gas_limit : Gas limit of the parent block.

Returns

check : bool True if gas limit constraints are satisfied, False otherwise.
