A full block, extending the header with its transactions and cached check flags.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
CBlockHeader | Nodes collect new transactions into a block, hash them into a hash tree, and scan through nonce values to make the block's hash satisfy proof-of-work requirements. When they solve the proof-of-work, they broadcast the block to everyone and the block is added to the block chain. The first transaction in the block is a special one that creates a new coin owned by the creator of the block. |

CBlock [constructor] | Constructors |
GetBlockTime | Returns the block creation time. |
GetHash | Computes the block hash by hashing the serialized header. |
IsNull | Returns true when the header has no proof-of-work target set. |
SetNull | Resets the block to its null state, clearing transactions and cached flags. |
Time | Returns the block time as a chrono time point. |
ToString | Returns a human-readable description of the block. |

| Name | Description |
|---|---|
fChecked | Cached result of CheckBlock() for this block. |
hashMerkleRoot | Merkle root of the transactions in the block. |
hashPrevBlock | Hash of the previous block header in the chain. |
m_checked_merkle_root | Cached result of the Merkle root check for this block. |
m_checked_witness_commitment | Cached result of the witness commitment check for this block. |
nBits | Compact representation of the proof-of-work difficulty target. |
nNonce | Nonce varied during mining to satisfy the proof-of-work target. |
nTime | Block creation time, as a Unix timestamp in seconds. |
nVersion | Block version number, signaling supported consensus rules. |
vtx | Transactions contained in the block, in order. |
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
BlockMerkleRoot | Compute the Merkle root of the transactions in a block. *mutated is set to true if a duplicated subtree was found. |
BlockWitnessMerkleRoot | Compute the Merkle root of the witness transactions in a block. |
CheckBlock | Context-independent validity checks. |
CheckSignetBlockSolution | Extract signature and check whether a block has a valid solution |
DecodeHexBlk | Decode a hex-encoded serialized block. |
DecodeHexBlockHeader | Decode a hex-encoded serialized block header. |
GetBlockProof | Compute how much work a block header corresponds to. |
GetWitnessCommitmentIndex | Compute at which vout of the block's coinbase transaction the witness commitment occurs, or -1 if not found |
IsBlockMutated | Check if a block has been mutated (with respect to its merkle root and witness commitments). |
TransactionMerklePath | Compute merkle path to the specified transaction |
node::AddMerkleRootAndCoinbase | Insert the coinbase transaction and compute the merkle root of a block. |
node::RegenerateCommitments | Update an old GenerateCoinbaseCommitment from CreateNewBlock after the block txs have changed |
node::UpdateTime | Update a block header's time field and return the new time. |
