# NeoGo state validation
|
|
|
|
NeoGo supports state validation using N3 stateroots and can also act as state
|
|
validator (run state validation service).
|
|
|
|
All NeoGo nodes always calculate MPT root hash for data stored by contracts.
|
|
Unlike in Neo Legacy, this behavior can't be turned off. They also process
|
|
stateroot messages broadcasted through the network and save validated
|
|
signatures from them if the state root hash specified there matches the one signed
|
|
by validators (or shouts loud in the log if it doesn't because it should be
|
|
the same).
|
|
|
|
## State validation service
|
|
|
|
The service is configured as `StateRoot` subsection of
|
|
`ApplicationConfiguration` section in your node config.
|
|
|
|
Parameters:
|
|
* `Enabled`: boolean value, enables/disables the service, `true` for service
|
|
to be enabled
|
|
* `UnlockWallet`: service's wallet configuration:
|
|
- `Path`: path to NEP-6 wallet.
|
|
- `Password`: password for the account to be used by state validation
|
|
node.
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
StateRoot:
|
|
Enabled: true
|
|
UnlockWallet:
|
|
Path: "/path/to/stateroot.wallet.json"
|
|
Password: "knowyouare"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Operation
|
|
|
|
To run state validation service on your network you need to:
|
|
* set state validation node keys in `RoleManagement` contract
|
|
* configure and run an appropriate number of state validation nodes with the keys
|
|
specified in `RoleManagement` contract
|
|
|
|
|
|
## StateRootInHeader option
|
|
|
|
NeoGo also supports protocol extension to include state root hashes right into
|
|
header blocks. It's not compatible with regular Neo N3 state validation
|
|
service and it's not compatible with public Neo N3 networks, but you can use
|
|
it on private networks if needed.
|
|
|
|
The option is `StateRootInHeader` and it's specified in
|
|
`ProtocolConfiguration` section, set it to true and run your network with it
|
|
(whole network needs to be configured this way then).
