Result Details

The result field will be an object containing:

• slotsPerEpoch: <u64>

  • The maximum number of slots in each epoch
  • Defines the total slots allocated for a single epoch

• leaderScheduleSlotOffset: <u64>

  • Number of slots before the beginning of an epoch used to calculate the leader schedule
  • Determines when the leader schedule for an upcoming epoch is computed

• warmup: <bool>

  • Indicates whether epochs start short and gradually grow
  • true means the initial epochs have fewer slots before reaching full length

• firstNormalEpoch: <u64>

  • The first epoch with a standard (full) number of slots
  • Calculated as log2(slotsPerEpoch) - log2(MINIMUM_SLOTS_PER_EPOCH)

• firstNormalSlot: <u64>

  • The first slot of the first normal-length epoch
  • Calculated as MINIMUM_SLOTS_PER_EPOCH * (2^firstNormalEpoch - 1)
