FAQPage Schema
How does the stellar-core invariant subsystem work for data integrity checking?

The stellar-core invariant subsystem works by using an abstract Invariant class and an InvariantManager to register, enable, and dispatch runtime correctness checks against the ledger state.

What specific invariants are checked by the stellar-core correctness checking framework?

The correctness checking framework evaluates specific invariants including ConservationOfLumens, LedgerEntryIsValid, and ConstantProductInvariant to ensure system data integrity during execution.

How do I understand the control flow of the invariant subsystem in stellar-core?

You can understand the invariant subsystem control flow by examining its core framework components, which manage invariant registration, dispatch mechanisms, and background snapshot execution for runtime checks.

What is the purpose of the InvariantManager in the stellar-core runtime framework?

The InvariantManager in the stellar-core runtime framework handles the registration, enablement, and dispatch of individual invariant functions to perform automated correctness checking.

When do I need to use the background snapshot execution in the invariant framework?

Background snapshot execution is needed when running invariant checks on system state, allowing the framework to perform data integrity validation without blocking primary stellar-core operations.
