Expand description
Inherents, together with transactions, form the body of a block.
The body of a block consists of a list of what is called extrinsics. An extrinsic can be either a transaction, when it was submitted by a user, or an inherent, which is what this module is about.
When a block is authored, one of the first steps is for the block author to generate the list
of inherents. This is done by calling a runtime function, passing as parameter an encoded
InherentData.
When a block is later verified, the inherents are verified by calling a runtime function and
passing as parameter an encoded InherentData as well.
