Module sp_consensus_beefy::mmr

BEEFY + MMR utilities.

While BEEFY can be used completely independently as an additional consensus gadget, it is designed around a main use case of bridging standalone networks together. For that use case it’s common to use some aggregated data structure (like MMR) to be used in conjunction with BEEFY, to be able to efficiently prove any past blockchain data.

This module contains primitives used by Polkadot implementation of the BEEFY+MMR bridge, but we imagine they will be useful for other chains that either want to bridge with Polkadot or are completely standalone, but heavily inspired by Polkadot.
