Genesis Block

The verse is labeled by Genesis blocks along the entire length. Main blocks are located between Genesis blocks, which mark a new Epoch. Each Genesis block acts as a sign of a new Epoch and sets network parameters for it. At the current moment, the network parameters include only a list of Active Delegates. This type of blocks doesn't contain transactions and is produced by each Peer separately. When Genesis blocks have the same height throughout the whole network, it’s a proof of consensus mechanism stability.

Genesis block contains:

  • Timestamp

  • High

  • Hash

  • Previous block hash

  • Epoch index

  • List of active delegates

  • Signature

  • Public key
