BlockTX

Since network processing has an eminently asynchronous behavior, it is this microservice that manages it by generating relevant events in ARC and specifically in the metamorph layer that occur in the Bitcoin network.

BlockTx is a microservice that is responsible for processing blocks mined on the Bitcoin network, and for propagating the status of transactions to each Metamorph that has subscribed to this service.

The main purpose of BlockTx is to de-duplicate processing of (large) blocks. As an incoming block is processed by BlockTx, each Metamorph is notified of transactions that they have registered an interest in. BlockTx does not store the transaction data, but instead stores only the transaction IDs and the block height in which they were mined. Metamorph is responsible for storing the transaction data.
