## 🤔 How to use it [1 hour]
## 🤔 How to use it [30 min]
There are **five** required components to building a custom lane using the base lane:
1. `Mempool` - The lane's mempool is responsible for storing transactions that have been verified and are waiting to be included in proposals.
2. `MatchHandler` - This is responsible for determining whether a transaction should belong to this lane.
3. [**OPTIONAL**] `PrepareLaneHandler` - Allows developers to define their own handler to customize the how transactions are verified and ordered before they are included into a proposal.
4. [**OPTIONAL**] `CheckOrderHandler` - Allows developers to define their own handler that will run any custom checks on whether transactions included in block proposals are in the correct order (respecting the ordering rules of the lane and the ordering rules of the other lanes).
5. [**OPTIONAL**] `ProcessLaneHandler` - Allows developers to define their own handler for processing transactions that are included in block proposals.

### 1. 🗄️ Mempool
This is the data structure that is responsible for storing transactions as they are being verified and are waiting to be included in proposals. `block/base/mempool.go` provides an out-of-the-box implementation that should be used as a starting point for building out the mempool and should cover most use cases. To utilize the mempool, you must implement a `TxPriority[C]` struct that does the following:

- Implements a `Compare` method that returns the relative priority of two
* Implements a `Compare` method that returns the relative priority of two
transactions. If the first transaction has a higher priority, the method
should return -1, if the second transaction has a higher priority the method
should return 1, otherwise the method should return 0.
- Implements a `MinValue` method that returns the minimum priority value
* Implements a `MinValue` method that returns the minimum priority value
that a transaction can have.
The default implementation can be found in `block/base/mempool.go`.

This means that if you implement any of the handlers, you must implement all of them in most cases. If you do not implement all of them, the lane may have unintended behavior.

The `ProcessLaneHandler` is an optional field you can set on the base lane. This handler is responsible for verifying the transactions in the block proposal that belong to the lane.

Once you have created your custom lane, you can configure it in the application

2. Instantiate the lane with the custom `LaneConfig` struct alongside any other

3. Instantiate a new `LanedMempool` with the custom lane.
4. Set the `LanedMempool` on the `BaseApp` instance.
5. Set up the proposal handlers of the Block SDK to use your lane.
6. That's it! You're done!
The lane config (`LaneConfig`) is a simple configuration object that defines the desired amount of block space the lane should utilize when building a proposal, an antehandler that is used to verify transactions as they are added/verified to/in a proposal, and more. By default, we recommend that user's pass in all of the base apps configurations (txDecoder, logger, etc.). A sample `LaneConfig` might look like the following:

#### **MaxTxs**
This sets the maximum number of transactions allowed in the mempool with the semantics:
- if `MaxTxs` == 0, there is no cap on the number of transactions in the mempool
- if `MaxTxs` > 0, the mempool will cap the number of transactions it stores, and will prioritize transactions by their priority and sender-nonce (sequence number) when evicting transactions.
- if `MaxTxs` < 0, `Insert` is a no-op.

#### **MaxBlockSpace**
MaxBlockSpace is the maximum amount of block space that the lane will attempt to fill when building a proposal. This parameter may be useful lanes that should be limited (such as a free or onboarding lane) in space usage. Setting this to 0 will allow the lane to fill the block with as many transactions as possible.

`IgnoreList` defines the list of lanes to ignore when processing transactions. For example, say there are two lanes: default and free. The free lane is processed after the default lane.

Otherwise, the transactions that belong to the free lane will be processed by the default lane (which accepts all transactions by default).
