BPX vs Chia
If you are familiar with how Chia works, the following tips will help you better understand the BPX.
- BPX Beacon Client is a fork of Chia reference client, but very heavily modified. The entire BPX project is not a Chia fork.
- Most of Beacon Client commands, APIs and graphical interfaces are identical or very similar to those known from Chia.
- Beacon Client is used only to provide consensus updates for the EVM execution chain working in parallel and cannot run properly without the Execution Client.
- Beacon Client does not process any transactions, therefore it does not have a built-in wallet, it does not display any information about the amount of farmed coins, etc. All these informations are processed by the Execution Chain.
- BPX does not include a coin set model or CLVM.
- Processes and modules that were called
full_node
in Chia are calledbeacon
in BPX.
