# Consensus Rules

This folder contains 2 crates: `monero-consensus` (rules) and `cuprate-consensus`. `monero-consensus` contains the raw-rules
and isb built to be a more flexible library which requires the user to give the correct data and do minimal calculations, `cuprate-consensus`
on the other hand contains multiple tower::Services that handle tx/ block verification as a whole with a `context` service that
keeps track of blockchain state. `cuprate-consensus` uses `monero-consensus` internally.

If you are looking to use monero consensus rules it's recommended you try to integrate `cuprate-consensus` and fall back to
`monero-consensus` if you need more flexibility.
