State Tracking for Block Execution.

Track state changes on top of a read-only PreState. At block end, accumulated diffs feed into PreState.compute_state_root().

.. contents:: Table of Contents :backlinks: none :local:

Introduction

Replace the mutable State class with lightweight state trackers that record diffs. BlockState accumulates committed transaction changes across a block. TransactionState tracks in-flight changes within a single transaction and supports copy-on-write rollback.

BlockState

Accumulate committed transaction-level changes across a block.

Read chain: block writes -> pre_state.

storage_clears records addresses whose pre-existing storage was wiped earlier in the block, so later reads must not fall back to pre_state. Contract creation over a storage-only account and deletion of an empty account that still holds storage both wipe storage.

Parameters

def set_account(​tx_state: TransactionState, ​​address: Address, ​​account: Optional[Account]​) -> None:

set_storage

Set a value at a storage key on an account.

Parameters

tx_state : The transaction state. address : Address of the account. key : Key to set. value : Value to set at the key.

390
    tx_state.storage_writes[address][key] = value

destroy_account

Completely remove the account at address and all of its storage.

This function is made available exclusively for the SELFDESTRUCT opcode. It is expected that SELFDESTRUCT will be disabled in a future hardfork and this function will be removed. Only supports same transaction destruction.

Parameters

tx_state : The transaction state. address : Address of account to destroy.

def destroy_account(​tx_state: TransactionState, ​​address: Address​) -> None:
394
    <snip>
410
    destroy_storage(tx_state, address)
411
    set_account(tx_state, address, None)

destroy_storage

Completely remove the storage at address.

Drop this transaction's writes and record the address in storage_clears so that reads no longer fall back to earlier block writes or pre_state.

Parameters

tx_state : The transaction state. address : Address of account whose storage is to be deleted.

def destroy_storage(​tx_state: TransactionState, ​​address: Address​) -> None:
415
    <snip>
430
    if address in tx_state.storage_writes:
431
        del tx_state.storage_writes[address]
432
    tx_state.storage_clears.add(address)

mark_account_created

Mark an account as having been created in the current transaction. This information is used by get_storage_original() to handle an obscure edgecase, and to respect the constraints added to SELFDESTRUCT by EIP-6780.

The marker is not removed even if the account creation reverts. Since the account cannot have had code prior to its creation and can't call get_storage_original(), this is harmless.

Parameters

tx_state : The transaction state. address : Address of the account that has been created.

def mark_account_created(​tx_state: TransactionState, ​​address: Address​) -> None:
436
    <snip>

Set a value at a storage key on an account in transient storage.

Parameters

tx_state : The transaction state. address : Address of the account. key : Key to set. value : Value to set at the key.

479
        tx_state.transient_storage.pop((address, key), None)
480
    else:
481
        tx_state.transient_storage[(address, key)] = value

modify_state

Modify an Account in the state. If, after modification, the account exists and has zero nonce, empty code, and zero balance, it is destroyed.

def modify_state(​tx_state: TransactionState, ​​address: Address, ​​f: Callable[[Account], None]​) -> None:
489
    <snip>
494
    set_account(tx_state, address, modify(get_account(tx_state, address), f))
