This repository contains the validator. The purpose of the validator is to ensure that the data in the Core Postgres database match the data on the blockchain.
# Intention for the Validator
The perfect scenario for the validator is as follows:
1. The validator will have the capacity to perform historical checks for the Core Postgres database. Users can contain these historical checks to specified configurations (block range).
2. The validator will validate a certain number of trailing blocks, `t`, trailing the head, `n`. Therefore the validator will constantly perform real-time validation starting at `n` and ending at `n - t`.
3. The validator validates the IPLD blocks in the Core Database; it will update the core database to indicate that the validator validated it.
