# Consensus Rules
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This chapter contains all of Monero's consensus rules, from genesis to now. Some rules
|
||
|
|
are complex so have been split into their own chapter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Rules that are not bound to consensus (relay rules) are not included here. Also we have not documented "rules" which are enforced by
|
||
|
|
(de)serialization, for example it's impossible to have a ringCT signature in a version 1 transaction, rules that are unclear if they
|
||
|
|
can be omitted or not should _always_ be included.

## Definitions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Canonically Encoded Scalar:
|
||
|
|
an Ed25519 scalar which is fully reduced mod l, where \\(l = 2^{252} + 27742317777372353535851937790883648493 \\).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Canonically Encoded Point:
|
||
|
|
an Ed25519 point which is not the negative identity and with y coordinate fully reduced mod p, where \\(p = 2^{255} - 19 \\).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Prime Order Point:
|
||
|
|
a point in the prime subgroup.
|
||
|
|
PoW Hash:
|
||
|
|
the hash calculated by using the active proof of work function.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Block Hash:
|
||
|
|
the keccak hash of the block.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Transaction Blob:
|
||
|
|
the raw bytes of a serialized transaction.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Block Blob:
|
||
|
|
the raw bytes of a serialized block.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Chain Height:
|
||
|
|
the amount of blocks in the chain, this is different to the height of the top block as
|
||
|
|
blocks start counting at 0.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ring (transactions inputs):
|
||
|
|
the group of potential outputs of which one is the true spend.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Decoys (transactions inputs):
|
||
|
|
the fake outputs used to hide the true spend, the length of this is equal to one minus the `Rings` length.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MixIns (transactions inputs):
|
||
|
|
another term for `Decoys`
