Detailed Description

The MCEL block header structure.

This structure is canonically encoded using mcel_encode_block_header. The block commitment binds this header to the Merkle root of record commitments.

first_record_seq

uint64_t first_record_seq

The sequence number of the first record in this block

flags

uint8_t flags

Block flags (reserved for future use)

keyid

uint8_t keyid[MCEL_BLOCK_KEYID_SIZE]

The signer or policy identifier

record_count

uint32_t record_count

The number of records committed by the Merkle root

timestamp
