Time.
Constants
- Since BABE is probabilistic this is the average expected block time that we are targeting. Blocks will be produced at a minimum duration defined by
SLOT_DURATION
, but some slots will not be allocated to any authority and hence no block will be produced. We expect to have this block time on average following the defined slot duration and the value ofc
configured for BABE (where1 - c
represents the probability of a slot being empty). This value is only used indirectly to define the unit constants below that are expressed in blocks. The rest of the code should useSLOT_DURATION
instead (like the Timestamp pallet for calculating the minimum period).
