Protocol
Overview
The Protocol module contains the logic for the synchronization protocol.
The dogechain uses libp2p as the networking layer, and on top of that runs gRPC.

// Returns status information regarding the specific point in time

// Returns any type of object (Header, Body, Receipts...)
rpc GetObjectsByHash(HashRequest) returns (Response);
// Returns a range of headers
rpc GetHeaders(GetHeadersRequest) returns (Response);
// Watches what new blocks get included
rpc Watch(google.protobuf.Empty) returns (stream V1Status);
