Id vs. Hash

qcdll edited this page Sep 27, 2018 · 2 revisions

In QuarkChain we use transaction id and block id to identify transaction and block rather than the transaction hash and block hash used in Ethereum. The transaction/block id is simply the transaction/block hash with a full shard id appended so that the object can be looked up directly from the shard.

Root block id is equal to its hash as it does not belong to any shard.
