Parameters that influence chain consensus.

Fields

network: Network

Network for which parameters are valid.

bip16_time: u32

Time when BIP16 becomes active.

bip34_height: u32

Block height at which BIP34 becomes active.

bip65_height: u32

Block height at which BIP65 becomes active.

bip66_height: u32

Block height at which BIP66 becomes active.

rule_change_activation_threshold: u32

Minimum blocks including miner confirmation of the total of 2016 blocks in a retargeting period, (nPowTargetTimespan / nPowTargetSpacing) which is also used for BIP9 deployments. Examples: 1916 for 95%, 1512 for testchains.

miner_confirmation_window: u32

Number of blocks with the same set of rules.

pow_limit: Uint256

Proof of work limit value. It contains the lowest possible difficulty.

Note that this value differs from Bitcoin Core’s powLimit field in that this value is attainable, but Bitcoin Core’s is not. Specifically, because targets in Bitcoin are always rounded to the nearest float expressible in “compact form”, not all targets are attainable. Still, this should not affect consensus as the only place where the non-compact form of this is used in Bitcoin Core’s consensus algorithm is in comparison and there are no compact-expressible values between Bitcoin Core’s and the limit expressed here.

pow_target_spacing: u64

Expected amount of time to mine one block.

pow_target_timespan: u64

Difficulty recalculation interval.

allow_min_difficulty_blocks: bool

Determines whether minimal difficulty may be used for blocks or not.

no_pow_retargeting: bool

Determines whether retargeting is disabled for this network or not.
