State

The blockchain WST is accessed at the application level through a State object.

• State is a wrapper around the Storage layer.

• It includes an LRU cache to optimize access to disk-based data.

• The State object is used to create a WST snapshot at a specific root address, allowing for manipulation of the WST at that point in time.

The following class diagram illustrates the most important subset of methods provided by the State object:
