A block censorship monitor

  • BFT header receivers that pull headers from ALL the orderers, and keep the time and number of the last one.
  • A BFT censorship monitor which compares the progress of headers relative to blocks.
  • The detector triggers an alert if a header is ahead of the last block number for more than a certain time.
  • The header receivers are individually relaunched in case of error or failure.
  • Retry has an exponential back-off with a minimal and maximal delay.

Updating the endpoints will be implemented in a future issue.
Updating the block fetch source will be implemented in a future issue.
