Consolidates all primitives into a single crate. We didn't benefit from its
fragmentation. I'm hesitant to say the new internal-organization is better (it
may be just as clunky), but it's at least in a single crate (not spread out
over micro-crates).
The ABI is the most distinct. We now entirely own it. Block header hashes don't
directly commit to any BABE data (avoiding potentially ~4 KB headers upon
session changes), and are hashed as borsh (a more widely used codec than
SCALE). There are still Substrate variants, using SCALE and with the BABE data,
but they're prunable from a protocol design perspective.
Defines a transaction as a Vec of Calls, allowing atomic operations.
Relevant to #394.
Prevents hand-over due to hand-over occurring via a `Batch` publication.
Expects a new protocol to restore functionality (after a retirement of the
current protocol).
Resolves#353
Implements code such that:
- 80% of validators (by stake) must be in favor of a signal for the network to
be
- 80% of networks (by stake) must be in favor of a signal for it to be locked
in
- After a signal has been locked in for two weeks, the network halts
The intention is to:
1) Not allow validators to unilaterally declare new consensus rules.
No method of declaring new consensus rules is provided by this pallet. Solely a
way to deprecate the current rules, with a signaled for successor. All nodes
must then individually decide whether or not to download and run a new node
which has new rules, and if so, which rules.
2) Not place blobs on chain.
Even if they'd be reproducible, it's just a lot of data to chuck on the
blockchain.
