Block Structure

Definition

Block is the main entity in NEAR Protocol blockchain. Blocks are produced in NEAR Protocol every second.

It contains the info:

  • about the Block producer (AccountId of the validator responsible for particular Block production)
  • Block Header
  • List of Chunk Headers

Representation

Block


“`rust links=1
pub struct BlockView {
pub author: AccountId,
pub header: BlockHeaderView,
pub chunks: Vec,
}
“`


“`ts links=1
export interface Block {
author: string;
header: BlockHeader;
chunks: ChunkHeader[];
};
“`


BlockHeaderView

BlockHeaderView contains main info about the block.


“`rust

pub height: BlockHeight,
