1//! Consensus-based block verification.
2//!
3//! In contrast to checkpoint verification, which only checks hardcoded
4//! hashes, block verification checks all Zcash consensus rules.
5//!
6//! The block verifier performs all of the semantic validation checks.
7//! If accepted, the block is sent to the state service for contextual
8//! verification, where it may be accepted or rejected.

152/// Bitcoin". The inclusion of this rule is tracked in [`zcash/zips#568`].
153///
154/// Zebra mirrors `zcashd`'s `ConnectBlock`, which sums `GetLegacySigOpCount()` and
155/// `GetP2SHSigOpCount()` per transaction before comparing against this constant.
