Crate drml_primitives

Alias to the public key used for this chain, actually a MultiSigner. Like the signature, this also isn’t a fixed size when encoded, as different cryptos have different size public keys.

Address

The address format for describing accounts.

Balance

The balance of an account. 128-bits (or 38 significant decimal figures) will allow for 10m currency (10^7) at a resolution to all for one second’s worth of an annualised 50% reward be paid to a unit holder (10^11 unit denomination), or 10^18 total atomic units, to grow at 50%/year for 51 years (10^9 multiplier) for an eventual total of 10^27 units (27 significant decimal figures). We round denomination to 10^12 (12 sdf), and leave the other redundancy at the upper end so that 32 bits may be multiplied with a balance in 128 bits without worrying about overflow.

BlockNumber

An index to a block. 32-bits will allow for 136 years of blocks assuming 1 block per second.

Hash

A hash of some data used by the chain.

Hashing

Hashing algorithm used by the chain.

Header

Header type.

Moment

An instant or duration in time.

Nonce

The index of a transaction in the chain. 32-bit should be plenty.

OpaqueBlock

Block type.

Power

The power of an account.

Signature

Alias to type for a signature for a transaction on the chain. This allows one of several kinds of underlying crypto to be used, so isn’t a fixed size when encoded.

SigningParams

DRML signing params.
