BPX vs Chia

If you are familiar with how Chia works, the following tips will help you better understand the BPX Chain:

  1. The BPX Beacon Chain is based on the Chia blockchain architecture, where all transactional and monetary functions have been replaced by a mechanism that controls an independent EVM-compatible execution layer.
  2. The BPX Beacon Client is a heavily modified fork of the Chia reference client, though the BPX Chain itself is not a Chia fork.
  3. The Beacon Client solely provides consensus updates for the EVM-based Execution Chain that runs in parallel and cannot function properly without the Execution Client.
  4. BPX Beacon Chain does not handle transactions, lacks an integrated wallet, and does not display information on farmed coins; all such data is managed by the Execution Chain.
  5. Many commands, APIs, and graphical interfaces of the Beacon Client are identical or similar to those in Chia.
  6. BPX does not include a coin set model neither CLVM.
  7. Processes and modules that were called full_node in Chia are called beacon in BPX.
