It's the list of federation nodes which can cast a vote on this block. It's the list of federation nodes which can cast a vote on this block.
This list can change from block to block, as nodes join and leave the federation. This list can change from block to block, as nodes join and leave the federation.
- ``signature``: :ref:`Cryptographic signature <Signature Algorithm and Keys>` of the block by the node that created the block. To generate the signature, the node builds a dict including the ``id``, the inner ``block`` & the ``signature`` (with a value of ``None``), it serializes that dict, and then signs *that* with its private key. - ``signature``: :ref:`Cryptographic signature <Signature Algorithm and Keys>` of the block by the node that created the block (i.e. the node with public key ``node_pubkey``). To generate the signature, the node signs the serialized inner ``block`` (the same thing that was hashed to determine the ``id``) using the private key corresponding to ``node_pubkey``.
