One second to a block.
A fraction of a cent to use it.
AURA Block Production
Deterministic 1-second slots with round-robin validator selection. Predictable block production.
AlephBFT Finality
Byzantine fault-tolerant agreement runs alongside block production. A finalised block does not revert.
Block Weight Allocation
Each 1-second block carries a fixed weight budget. Transactions consume weight in proportion to the work they do, so the block limit is a measure of execution, not a gas constant.
Dynamic Fee Adjustment
pallet-dynamic-evm-base-fee is meant to move the base fee with demand. The weight factor is unset, so the computed fee resolves to zero and clamps to the floor every block. In place, inert.
Phase 1: Mainnet (Current)
Active4 validators, all operated by the core team. One party can halt or upgrade the chain today.
Phase 2: Reserved Validator Set
Planned20 validators by the end of 2027, invited from partners and infrastructure providers.
Phase 3: Open Validator Set
Future50 or more validators by the end of 2027, opening to permissionless participation.
EVM Compatibility
Deploy Solidity with Hardhat, Remix or Foundry. MetaMask and Web3.js connect against chain 1961.
WASM Runtime
ink! 5 compiles to WASM and runs through pallet-contracts, against the same state as the EVM.
