INT Chain 4.0 Documents

# Genesis File

The Genesis file (<datadir>/<chainid>/genesis.json and <datadir>/<chainid>/int_genesis.json) is the basis for the entire network initialization, which contains most info for creating a Genesis block (such as ChainID, consensus params, initial account balances, and validators info). The genesis file sets the initial parameters of any new INT Chain network. Establishing a robust social consensus over the genesis file is critical to start a network.

Each genesis state starts with a list of account balances. Social consensus on these account balances must be bootstrapped from some external process be it events on another blockchain to a token generation event.

# Genesis Json

  • chain_id Blockchain’s ID
  • consensus Consensus type
  • genesis_time The time created
