The above diagram shows BPX network architecture. A single machine can run more than one of these...

The Beacon Client serves as a full node for the BPX Beacon Chain with several key responsibilitie...

The Execution Client functions as a full node for the BPX Execution Chain. It listens for new tra...

BPX farmers are analogous to Bitcoin's miners. They earn block rewards and fees by finding valid ...

Harvesters are individual machines controlled by a farmer. In a large farming operation, a farmer...

A Verifiable Delay Function, also referred to as a Proof of Time or VDF, is a proof that a sequen...

The BPX consensus algorithm relies on timelords running VDFs for periods of time called sub-slots...

Each sub-slot in both the challenge chain and the reward chain is divided into 64 smaller VDFs. B...

Approximately every 4.69 seconds, the beacon client sends a new signage point to the farmer, who ...

As you can see, multiple blocks can get infused into the same sub-slot. BPX targets one beacon ...

If we only used one VDF (for the reward chain), the inclusion or exclusion of blocks would allow ...

For a farmer to create a block, their required_iterations must be less than sub-slot_iterations /...

In the previous diagrams, there is no place for farmers to specify their rewards, since all block...

Block validation in BPX is composed of two parts: header validation and body validation. The hea...

As soon as the Execution Client receives a new execution block, it starts working on a candidate ...

A timelord keeps track of the current peak of beacon chain, which includes an infused block at a ...
