# Coordinator The coordinator is a service which communicates with all of the processors, all of the other coordinators over a secondary P2P network, and with the Serai node. This document primarily details its flow with regards to the Serai node and processor. ## New Set Event On `validator_sets::pallet::Event::NewSet`, the coordinator spawns a tributary for the new set. It additionally sends the processor `key_gen::CoordinatorMessage::GenerateKey`. ## Key Generation Event On `validator_sets::pallet::Event::KeyGen`, the coordinator sends `substrate::CoordinatorMessage::ConfirmKeyPair` to the processor. # Update On `key_gen::ProcessorMessage::Update`, the coordinator publishes an unsigned transaction containing the signed batch to the Serai blockchain. # Sign Completed On `sign::ProcessorMessage::Completed`, the coordinator makes a tributary transaction containing the transaction hash the signing process was supposedly completed with. Due to rushing adversaries, the actual transaction completing the plan may be distinct on-chain. These messages solely exist to coordinate the signing process, not to determine chain state.
