priv_validator_state.json

    When CometBFT is run as a validator and a local private validator (PrivVal) is adopted, it uses this file to keep data about the last signed consensus messages.

    This file is only updated if a local private validator is adopted. (When priv_validator_laddr is not set.)

}

    height

    Set to the last height that was signed.

    Value type string
    Possible values >= "0"

    Height, a number, is presented as a string so arbitrary high numbers can be used without the limitation of the integer maximum.

    round

    Set to the last round that was signed.

    Value type integer
    Possible values >= 0

    step

    Set to the last round step that was signed.

    Value type integer
    Possible values >= 0

    signature

    The last signature produced. This was provided at the above height/round/step.

    Value type string
    Possible values base64-encoded bytes
      ""

    signbytes

    Proto-encoding of the latest consensus message signed. Used to compare incoming requests and if possible reuse the previous signature provided in signature.

    Value type string
    Possible values hex-encoded bytes
      ""
