Module solana_sdk::epoch_schedule
source · Expand description
Configuration for epochs and slots.
Epochs mark a period of time composed of slots, for which a particular leader schedule is in effect. The epoch schedule determines the length of epochs, and the timing of the next leader-schedule selection.
The epoch schedule does not change during the life of a blockchain,
though the length of an epoch does — during the initial launch of
the chain there is a “warmup” period, where epochs are short, with subsequent
epochs increasing in slots until they last for DEFAULT_SLOTS_PER_EPOCH.
Structs
Constants
The default number of slots before an epoch starts to calculate the leader schedule.
The number of slots per epoch after initial network warmup.
The maximum number of slots before an epoch starts to calculate the leader schedule.
The minimum number of slots per epoch during the warmup period.
