Instance Method

bestTip()

The source’s current best tip — the highest validated block the source knows.

func bestTip() async throws -> BlockTip

Return Value

A BlockTip describing the remote best block. The returned tip’s timestamp may be nil depending on what the source can cheaply provide.

Discussion

Called repeatedly by the sync engine: once at the start of a sync run (to determine the target), and again each time the local chainstate reaches the remote tip (to catch source-side growth or reorgs).

Throws

BlockSourceError on transport or parse failures.
