Expand description

The collation generation subsystem is the interface between polkadot and the collators.

§Protocol

On every ActiveLeavesUpdate:

  • If there is no collation generation config, ignore.
  • Otherwise, for each activated head in the update:
    • Determine if the para is scheduled on any core by fetching the availability_cores Runtime API.
    • Use the Runtime API subsystem to fetch the full validation data.
    • Invoke the collator, and use its outputs to produce a CandidateReceipt, signed with the configuration’s key.
    • Dispatch a CollatorProtocolMessage::DistributeCollation(receipt, pov).
