Block time

At launch, and for approximately 40 days post-launch the network will have virtually no traffic, as all tokens will be locked, along with tokens sold in the public sale.
The network is designed to adjust to network conditions and can finalize blocks faster or slower in exponents of 2. For example, block times will increase in 2n milliseconds.
The network will have a minimum and maximum block time. This is represented by ‘N’ within the chainspec.toml.
With update v1.5.5, we are planning to have block times of approximately 16ms.
