  CliqueCfg* = ref object of RootRef
    db*: ChainDBRef ##\
      ## All purpose (incl. blockchain) database.

    nSnaps*: uint64 ##\
      ## Number of snapshots stored on disk (for logging troublesshoting)

    snapsData*: uint64 ##\
      ## Raw payload stored on disk (for logging troublesshoting)

    period: Duration ##\
      ## Time between blocks to enforce.

    ckpInterval: int ##\
      ## Number of blocks after which to save the vote snapshot to the
      ## disk database.

    roThreshold: int ##\
      ## Number of blocks after which a chain segment is considered immutable
      ## (ie. soft finality). It is used by the downloader as a hard limit
      ## against deep ancestors, by the blockchain against deep reorgs, by the
      ## freezer as the cutoff threshold and by clique as the snapshot trust
      ## limit.

    prng: Rand ##\
      ## PRNG state for internal random generator. This PRNG is
      ## cryptographically insecure but with reproducible data stream.

    signatures: EcRecover ##\
      ## Recent block signatures cached to speed up mining.

    epoch: int ##\
      ## The number of blocks after which to checkpoint and reset the pending
      ## votes.Suggested 30000 for the testnet to remain analogous to the
      ## mainnet ethash epoch.

    logInterval: Duration ##\
      ## Time interval after which the `snapshotApply()` function main loop
      ## produces logging entries.
