Binary Serialization Standard

We provide a custom implementation to serialize data structures used by the Casper node to their byte representation. This category details custom serialization implementation, allowing developers to build a library that is compatible with the custom serialization.

The Casper Binary Serialization Standard uses a default u8 byte tag to identify the subsequent data's type and direct further deserialization. Additional serialization rules can be found in the following sub-categories.

StructuresMajor structures used through Casper systems, as well as their included sub-types.
