//! Substrate offchain workers.
//!
//! The offchain workers is a special function of the runtime that
//! gets executed after block is imported. During execution
//! it's able to asynchronously submit extrinsics that will either
//! be propagated to other nodes added to the next block
//! produced by the node as unsigned transactions.
//!
//! Offchain workers can be used for computation-heavy tasks
//! that are not feasible for execution during regular block processing.
//! It can either be tasks that no consensus is required for,
//! or some form of consensus over the data can be built on-chain
//! for instance via:
//! 1. Challenge period for incorrect computations
//! 2. Majority voting for results
//! 3. etc
