BPX vs Chia
If you are familiar with how Chia works, the following tips will help you better understand the BPX Chain:
- The BPX Beacon Chain is based on the Chia blockchain architecture, where all transactional and monetary functions have been replaced by a mechanism that controls an independent EVM-compatible execution layer.
- The BPX Beacon Client is a heavily modified fork of the Chia reference client, though the BPX Chain itself is not a Chia fork.
- 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.
- 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.
- Many commands, APIs, and graphical interfaces of the Beacon Client are identical or similar to those in Chia.
- BPX does not include a coin set model neither CLVM.
- Processes and modules that were called
