Validators & consensus
ANCHOR
Commit signed cross-chain state to a chain.
ANCHOR is a validator-broadcast action that writes the federation's quorum-signed state checkpoints and the cross-chain match archive onto one anchor chain, so the platform's shared state stays recoverable from chain data alone.
What you can do with it
- Checkpoint each chain's ledger, action, and contract state with validator signatures.
- Archive cross-chain settlement records so they can be re-verified from the chain itself.
- Carry the light-client roots that let lightweight clients trust state without a full node.
