Module pallet_session::historical

An opt-in utility for tracking historical sessions in FRAME-session.

This is generally useful when implementing blockchains that require accountable safety where validators from some amount f prior sessions must remain slashable.

Rather than store the full session data for any given session, we instead commit to the roots of merkle tries containing the session data.

These roots and proofs of inclusion can be generated at any time during the current session. Afterwards, the proofs can be fed to a consensus module when reporting misbehavior.

Re-exports

Modules

• offchain
  Off-chain logic for creating a proof based data provided by on-chain logic.
• onchain
  On-chain logic to store a validator-set for deferred validation using an off-chain worker.
• pallet
  The pallet module in each FRAME pallet hosts the most important items needed to construct this pallet.

Structs

• NoteHistoricalRoot
  An SessionManager implementation that wraps an inner I and also sets the historical trie root of the ending session.
• ProvingTrie
  A trie instance for checking and generating proofs.

Traits

• SessionManager
  Specialization of the crate-level SessionManager which returns the set of full identification when creating a new session.

Type Aliases

• IdentificationTuple
  A tuple of the validator’s ID and their full identification.
