// Package exchange contains the ChainExchange server and client components.

|
// ChainExchange is the basic chain synchronization protocol of Filecoin.
|
||
|
|
// ChainExchange is an RPC-oriented protocol, with a single operation to
|
||
|
|
// request blocks for now.
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// A request contains a start anchor block (referred to with a CID), and a
|
||
|
|
// amount of blocks requested beyond the anchor (including the anchor itself).
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// A client can also pass options, encoded as a 64-bit bitfield. Lotus supports
|
||
|
|
// two options at the moment:
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// - include block contents
|
||
|
|
// - include block messages
|
||
|
|
//
|
||
|
|
// The response will include a status code, an optional message, and the
|
||
|
|
// response payload in case of success. The payload is a slice of serialized
|
||
|
|
// tipsets.
