    #### Code Sample

    ```bash theme={"system"}
    curl https://rpc.testnet.soo.network/rpc \
    -X POST \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "jsonrpc": "2.0",
      "id": 1,
      "method": "getEpochSchedule"
    }'
    ```

    #### Response

    ```json theme={"system"}
    {
      "jsonrpc": "2.0",
      "result": {
        "slotsPerEpoch": 432000,
        "leaderScheduleSlotOffset": 432000,
        "warmup": true,
        "firstNormalEpoch": 0,
        "firstNormalSlot": 0
      },
      "id": 1
    }
    ```
  </div>
</div>

#### 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)
