Enumeration

ValidationMode

Whether a validated block is valid, invalid, or the kernel hit an internal error during validation.

enum ValidationMode

Overview

The high-level verdict carried by validationMode. Use blockValidationResult to get the granular reason when this is ValidationMode.invalid.

Maps to btck_ValidationMode constants in the kernel C API.

Enumeration Cases

case internalError
The kernel encountered an internal error unrelated to the block itself — typically disk I/O failure, memory pressure, or a bug. Treat as a system-level problem rather than a block-validity signal.
case invalid
Validation failed — the block was rejected by consensus rules. Read BlockValidationResult for the specific reason.
case valid
Validation succeeded — the block satisfies consensus rules.
