scheduled-blocks

Use the Epoch Nonce seeds and compare with the Pool sigma derived VRF key of the Pool to calculate the block assignment schedule.

No cardano-node Required, data is taken from blockfrost.io and armada-alliance.com.

This is a rewritten in Haskell of the ScheduledBlocks in Python.

Commands

history

Get the scheduled block in past epoch (current epoch included)

Example

$ scheduled-blocks history --epoch 321 \
    --blockFrostApi $BLOCKFROST_API \
    --poolId $POOL_ID \
    --vrfSkey ~/vrf.skey

Working [==================>......]  74%

Get the scheduled block for the next epoch by query the nonce from armada-aliance.

Note: Next nonce is announce 1.5 days before the end of current epoch.

persistReport

Perform the epoch schedule calculation for all epoch starting from --fromEpoch flag to current epoch.

With each iteration save the block schedule into file in output directory, under file name <epoch>.json name.

Example

$ scheduled-blocks persistReport --output ./block-schedules/ --fromEpoch 321 --blockFrostApi $BLOCKFROST_API --poolId $POOL_ID --vrfSkey ~/vrf.skey
Checking current network epoch...done
./block-schedules/321.json file not exist

Build

libsodium

This tool depends on libsodium for the calculation of the crypto vrf seed bytes.

Install by source: https://github.com/input-output-hk/libsodium

git clone https://github.com/input-output-hk/libsodium
cd libsodium
git checkout tdammers/rebased-vrf
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

GHC

Recommend to use GHCup https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/

Use ghcup tui to select:

ghc 8.10.7
cabal 3.6.0.0

Build

cabal build

# If cabal cannot find the correct lib path for libsodium, it can be provided by
# cabal build --extra-lib-dirs=/usr/local/lib

WIP

I’m trying to implement concurrency code for the slot leader calculation. At the moment, speed not yet change much as I’m still learning Haskell and the implementation may not correct.

If you like to try out the concurrency code. It can be run using RTS flag: +RTS -N4 where 4 is the number of available cores.
