VeChainThor adopts the PoA (Proof-of-Authority) consensus protocol, instead of neither PoW (Proof-of-Work) nor PoS (Proof-of-Stake). Members in the whitelist requiring KYC (know-your-customer) identity verification are in charge of and responsible for the operation of the blockchain network. Concerning the safety issue, we leverage DPRP protocol to mess up the order of packer who pack the block, making sure the sequence of order of packers varies each time when packing the block.
The default interval of block generation is 10 seconds, but the concrete timestamp interval depends on the specific situation.
It is possible to generate orphan block and it is suggested to verify the fork situation every 12 block interval.
The precision of both VET and VTHO is 10^18 Wei. VTHO is generated from staking the VET and it is consumed for payments and smart contract execution on the VeChainThor blockchain
Are the failed transactions going to be recorded on the chain? Is the transaction gas going to be deducted?
When you send tokens, interact with a contract, send VET/VTHO, or do anything else on the blockchain, you must pay for computation. That payment is calculated in Gas and gas is paid in VTHO. Regardless of whether your transaction succeeds or fails. Even if it fails, the proposer(authority node) must validate and execute your transaction (compute) and therefore you must pay for that computation just like you would pay for a successful transaction.
•The ticker symbol for the VeChainThor Mainnet token will changed to VET.
•Token swap ratio is 1:100. One ERC20 VeChain token will be split to 100 VETs on the VeChainThor Mainnet.
The calculation equation is:
VTHO = (1 + gasPriceCoef/255) * baseGasPrice
The VET transfer fee is 21000gas. If gasPriceCoef = 0, the used of VTHO = (1 + 0/255) * 1e15 * 21000 / 1e18 = 21 VTHO
The priority of a transaction in transaction pool can be raised by adjusting gasPriceCoef. For example, if gasPriceCoef =128, used VTHO = (1 + 128/255) * 1e15 * 21000 / 1e18 = 31.5 VTHO
Always subject to the actual network parameter
Once contract successfully deployed, the contract address can be found in transaction receipt.
The reason for having an issue to synchronize with blocks is because the local time might be inaccurate. Please synchronized with NTP(Network Time Protocol) server .
The generation speed of VTHO is 0.000432 per VET per Day
The generation speed shown here is indicative only. the actual generation speed should subject to actual network
The intrinsic gas for a transaction is the amount of the transaction used before any code runs. in other words, it's a constant "transaction fee" plus a fee for every byte of data supplied with the transaction.The gas in the transaction needs to be greater than or equal to the intrinsic gas used by the transaction.
Intrinsic gas = txGas + clauses.type + dataGas
- txGas = 5,000
- Clauses type:
- Normal transaction : 16,000
- Contract creation : 48,000
In VeChain Thor clauses allows a single transaction to carry out multiple tasks. Therefore, it needs to execute all the clauses cost in the transaction.
