Common Companion Terms

Usage Advice

Use when

Use to carry the hash identifying a gmeow:Block on its chain — the content-addressed identity that anchors the block independent of its sequential number.

Avoid when

Avoid for a transaction's hash (gmeow:transactionHash) or the block's ordinal position (gmeow:blockNumber); the block hash is the block's cryptographic identity, not a transaction or an index. Functional — one hash per block.

How to use

Set one block-hash literal on the gmeow:Block alongside gmeow:blockNumber; transactions reference the block so their inclusion can be checked against both.

Examples

ex:block42 gmeow:blockHash "0xdef456...".
