chain object for this hard fork and returns it.
When forks need to implement an irregular state transition, this function
is used to handle the irregularity. See the :ref:DAO Fork <dao-fork>
for
an example.
Parameters
old : Previous block chain object.
Returns
new : BlockChain
Upgraded block chain object for this hard fork.

state_transition
Attempts to apply a block to an existing block chain.
All parts of the block's contents need to be verified before being added to the chain. Blocks are verified by ensuring that the contents of the block make logical sense with the contents of the parent block. The information in the block's header must also match the corresponding information in the block.
To implement Ethereum, in theory clients are only required to store the most recent 255 blocks of the chain since as far as execution is concerned, only those blocks are accessed. Practically, however, clients should store more blocks to handle reorgs.
Parameters
chain :
History and current state.
block :
Block to apply to chain

validate_header
Verifies a block header.
In order to consider a block's header valid, the logic for the quantities in the header should match the logic for the block itself. For example the header timestamp should be greater than the block's parent timestamp because the block was created after the parent block. Additionally, the block's number should be directly following the parent block's number since it is the next block in the sequence.
Parameters
header : Header to check for correctness. parent_header : Parent Header of the header to check for correctness

apply_body
Executes a block.
Many of the contents of a block are stored in data structures called tries. There is a transactions trie which is similar to a ledger of the transactions stored in the current block. There is also a receipts trie which stores the results of executing a transaction, like the post state and gas used. This function creates and executes the block that is to be added to the chain.
Parameters
state : Current account state. block_hashes : List of hashes of the previous 256 blocks in the order of increasing block number. coinbase : Address of account which receives block reward and transaction fees. block_number : Position of the block within the chain. base_fee_per_gas : Base fee per gas of within the block. block_gas_limit : Initial amount of gas available for execution in this block. block_time : Time the block was produced, measured in seconds since the epoch. block_difficulty : Difficulty of the block. transactions : Transactions included in the block. ommers : Headers of ancestor blocks which are not direct parents (formerly uncles.) chain_id : ID of the executing chain.
Returns

|
536 | Many of the contents of a block are stored in data structures called |
537 | tries. There is a transactions trie which is similar to a ledger of the |
538 | transactions stored in the current block. There is also a receipts trie |
539 | which stores the results of executing a transaction, like the post state |
540 | and gas used. This function creates and executes the block that is to be |
541 | added to the chain. |

validate_ommers
Validates the ommers mentioned in the block.
An ommer block is a block that wasn't canonically added to the blockchain because it wasn't validated as fast as the canonical block but was mined at the same time.
To be considered valid, the ommers must adhere to the rules defined in the Ethereum protocol. The maximum amount of ommers is 2 per block and there cannot be duplicate ommers in a block. Many of the other ommer constraints are listed in the in-line comments of this function.
Parameters
ommers : List of ommers mentioned in the current block. block_header: The header of current block. chain : History and current state.

pay_rewards
Pay rewards to the block miner as well as the ommers miners.
The miner of the canonical block is rewarded with the predetermined
block reward, BLOCK_REWARD
, plus a variable award based off of the
number of ommer blocks that were mined around the same time, and included
in the canonical block's header. An ommer block is a block that wasn't
added to the canonical blockchain because it wasn't validated as fast as
the accepted block but was mined at the same time. Although not all blocks
that are mined are added to the canonical chain, miners are still paid a
reward for their efforts. This reward is called an ommer reward and is
calculated based on the number associated with the ommer block that they
mined.
Parameters
state : Current account state. block_number : Position of the block within the chain. coinbase : Address of account which receives block reward and transaction fees. ommers : List of ommers mentioned in the current block.

validate_transaction
Verifies a transaction.
The gas in a transaction gets used to pay for the intrinsic cost of operations, therefore if there is insufficient gas then it would not be possible to execute a transaction and it will be declared invalid.
Additionally, the nonce of a transaction must not equal or exceed the
limit defined in EIP-2681 <https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2681>
_.
In practice, defining the limit as 2**64-1
has no impact because
sending 2**64-1
transactions is improbable. It's not strictly
impossible though, 2**64-1
transactions is the entire capacity of the
Ethereum blockchain at 2022 gas limits for a little over 22 years.

True if the transaction can be executed, or False otherwise.

compute_header_hash
Computes the hash of a block header.
The header hash of a block is the canonical hash that is used to refer to a specific block and completely distinguishes a block from another.
keccak256
is a function that produces a 256 bit hash of any input.
It also takes in any number of bytes as an input and produces a single
hash for them. A hash is a completely unique output for a single input.
So an input corresponds to one unique hash that can be used to identify
the input exactly.
Prior to using the keccak256
hash function, the header must be
encoded using the Recursive-Length Prefix. See :ref:rlp
.
RLP encoding the header converts it into a space-efficient format that
allows for easy transfer of data between nodes. The purpose of RLP is to
encode arbitrarily nested arrays of binary data, and RLP is the primary
encoding method used to serialize objects in Ethereum's execution layer.
The only purpose of RLP is to encode structure; encoding specific data
types (e.g. strings, floats) is left up to higher-order protocols.
Parameters
header : Header of interest.
Returns
hash : ethereum.crypto.hash.Hash32
Hash of the header.

check_gas_limit
Validates the gas limit for a block.
The bounds of the gas limit, max_adjustment_delta
, is set as the
quotient of the parent block's gas limit and the
GAS_LIMIT_ADJUSTMENT_FACTOR
. Therefore, if the gas limit that is
passed through as a parameter is greater than or equal to the sum of
the parent's gas and the adjustment delta then the limit for gas is too
high and fails this function's check. Similarly, if the limit is less
than or equal to the difference of the parent's gas and the adjustment
delta or the predefined GAS_LIMIT_MINIMUM
then this function's
check fails because the gas limit doesn't allow for a sufficient or
reasonable amount of gas to be used on a block.
Parameters
gas_limit : Gas limit to validate.
parent_gas_limit : Gas limit of the parent block.
Returns
check : bool
True if gas limit constraints are satisfied, False otherwise.

calculate_block_difficulty
Computes difficulty of a block using its header and parent header.
The difficulty is determined by the time the block was created after its
parent. The offset
is calculated using the parent block's difficulty,
parent_difficulty
, and the timestamp between blocks. This offset is
then added to the parent difficulty and is stored as the difficulty
variable. If the time between the block and its parent is too short, the
offset will result in a positive number thus making the sum of
parent_difficulty
and offset
to be a greater value in order to
avoid mass forking. But, if the time is long enough, then the offset
results in a negative value making the block less difficult than
its parent.
The base standard for a block's difficulty is the predefined value
set for the genesis block since it has no parent. So, a block
can't be less difficult than the genesis block, therefore each block's
difficulty is set to the maximum value between the calculated
difficulty and the GENESIS_DIFFICULTY
.
Parameters
block_number : Block number of the block. block_timestamp : Timestamp of the block. parent_timestamp : Timestamp of the parent block. parent_difficulty : difficulty of the parent block. parent_has_ommers: does the parent have ommers.
Returns
difficulty : ethereum.base_types.Uint
Computed difficulty for a block.
