## EVM state transition tool

The \`evm t8n\` tool is a stateless state transition utility. It is a utility
which can

1. Take a prestate, including
  - Accounts,
  - Block context information,
  - Previous blockshashes (*optional)
2. Apply a set of transactions,
3. Apply a mining-reward (*optional),
4. And generate a post-state, including
  - State root, transaction root, receipt root,
  - Information about rejected transactions,
  - Optionally: a full or partial post-state dump

## Specification

The idea is to specify the behaviour of this binary very _strict_, so that other
node implementors can build replicas based on their own state-machines, and the
state generators can swap between a \`geth\`-based implementation and a \`parityvm\`-based
implementation.

### Command line params

Command line params that has to be supported are
$(tick)

` ./evm t8n -h | grep "trace\|output\|state\."`

$(tick)

### Error codes and output

All logging should happen against the \`stderr\`.
There are a few (not many) errors that can occur, those are defined below.

#### EVM-based errors (\`2\` to \`9\`)

- Other EVM error. Exit code \`2\`
- Failed configuration: when a non-supported or invalid fork was specified. Exit code \`3\`.
- Block history is not supplied, but needed for a \`BLOCKHASH\` operation. If \`BLOCKHASH\`
  is invoked targeting a block which history has not been provided for, the program will
  exit with code \`4\`.

#### IO errors (\`10\`-\`20\`)

- Invalid input json: the supplied data could not be marshalled.
  The program will exit with code \`10\`
- IO problems: failure to load or save files, the program will exit with code \`11\`

## About Ommers

Mining rewards and ommer rewards might need to be added. This is how those are applied:

- \`block_reward\` is the block mining reward for the miner (\`0xaa\`), of a block at height \`N\`.
- For each ommer (mined by \`0xbb\`), with blocknumber \`N-delta\`
   - (where \`delta\` is the difference between the current block and the ommer)
   - The account \`0xbb\` (ommer miner) is awarded \`(8-delta)/ 8 * block_reward\`
   - The account \`0xaa\` (block miner) is awarded \`block_reward / 32\`

To make \`state_t8n\` apply these, the following inputs are required:

- \`state.reward\`
  - For ethash, it is \`5000000000000000000\` \`wei\`,
  - If this is not defined, mining rewards are not applied,
  - A value of \`0\` is valid, and causes accounts to be 'touched'.
- For each ommer, the tool needs to be given an \`address\` and a \`delta\`. This
  is done via the \`env\`.

Note: the tool does not verify that e.g. the normal uncle rules apply,
and allows e.g two uncles at the same height, or the uncle-distance. This means that
the tool allows for negative uncle reward (distance > 8)
