Mina Gossip Rust Types

This library contains Rust implementation of types used in Mina blockchain gossip messages.

This types are generated from bin_prot shapes.

Decoding bin_prot Stream

To decode a binary gossip message, one of the following types should be used:

• mina_p2p_messages::p2p::MinaBlockExternalTransitionRawVersionedStable for an External Transition message
• mina_p2p_messages::p2p::NetworkPoolSnarkPoolDiffVersionedStable for a Snark Pool Diff message
• mina_p2p_messages::p2p::NetworkPoolTransactionPoolDiffVersionedStable for a Transaction Pool Diff message

There is also the mina_p2p_messages::GossipNetMessage enum type that corresponds to the OCaml Gossip_net.Message.V1.T.msg type that sums up all three kinds of messages to be used over the wire.

Each message implement binprot::BinProtRead trait, so e.g. for reading an external transition, use the following:

    let external_transition =
        MinaBlockExternalTransitionRawVersionedStable::binprot_read(&mut ptr)?;

All types implement serde serialization, so they can be easily turned into JSON:

   let external_transition_json = serde_json::to_string(&external_transition)?;

Types Generation

The bin-proto-rs crate is used to automatically generate Mina wire types basing on their bin_prot shapes, stored in shapes folder. Currently only subset of types can be generated. Types currently known as essential are listed in the files types-v1.txt and types-v2.txt.

To generate Mina V2 types, use the following command:

mina-types shapes/berkeley-b1facec.txt gen \
   --config default-v2.toml \
   --out src/v2/generated.rs
   $(cat types-v2.txt)

Note that still some additional manual work is needed, like reverting missing derives.

The mina-types executable can be built using the following command:

cargo install --git https://github.com/openmina/bin-prot-rs --bin mina-types
