Configuration properties

This topic outlines the key configuration options available in the BaseBlockChainConfiguration, providing descriptions, types, and default values for each parameter.

Core configuration properties

Name	Description	Type	Required	Default
signers	List of blockchain signers.	array	✅
sync	Specifies the synchronization infrastructure implementation.	string		""
sync_ext	Extensions for the synchronization infrastructure.	array		[]
configurationfactory	Defines the configuration factory implementation.	string	✅
txqueuecapacity	Maximum number of transactions that can be queued before processing.	int		2500
historic_brid	Sets the historical Blockchain RID when forking a blockchain.	bytea
dependencies	Specifies blockchain dependencies in raw format (GTV format).	gtv
config_consensus_strategy	Defines the consensus strategy for configuration settings.	string
query_cache_ttl_seconds	The maximum duration (in seconds) for caching query responses. 0 disables caching entirely.	int		0
max_block_future_time	Defines the maximum allowable time difference between a block’s timestamp and the current time (in milliseconds). This ensures that blocks cannot be excessively post-dated, maintaining blockchain integrity. A value of -1 disables this check entirely.	int		60000
add_primary_key_to_header	When enabled, the primary node includes its public key in the block header. However, this value is not verified and should only be trusted for features where nodes are incentivized to honestly include their own key.	boolean		false

Block strategy configuration (under the key blockstrategy)

Name	Description	Type	Default
name	The block strategy class implementing net.postchain.core.block.BlockBuildingStrategy.	string
maxblocksize	Maximum block size in bytes.	int	26 * 1024 * 1024
maxblocktransactions	Maximum number of transactions per block.	int	100
mininterblockinterval	Minimum time (in milliseconds) between two consecutive blocks.	int	25
maxblocktime	Maximum time (in milliseconds) to wait before starting to build a block. If the queue is empty, an empty block will be built.	int	30000
maxtxdelay	Maximum time (in milliseconds) to wait after the first transaction is received before building a block.	int	1000
minbackofftime	Minimum time (in milliseconds) to wait before retrying a failed block build.	int	20
maxbackofftime	Maximum time (in milliseconds) to wait before retrying a failed block build.	int	2000
maxspecialendtransactionsize	Maximum size (in bytes) for a special end transaction in a block.	int	1024
preemptiveblockbuilding	Enables or disables preemptive block building.	boolean	true

GTX configuration (under the key gtx)

Name	Description	Type	Default
max_transaction_size	Maximum allowable size (in bytes) for individual transactions.	int	25 * 1024 * 1024
modules	Specifies the GTX modules to be included.	array
sqlmodules	Specifies the SQL modules to be included for GTX.	array
allowoverrides	Determines whether operations and queries with the same name can be overridden by other GTX modules.	boolean	false

Revolt configuration (under the key revolt)

Name	Description	Type	Default
timeout	Default revolt timeout period (in milliseconds).	int	10000
exponential_delay_initial	Initial delay (in milliseconds) before increasing the revolt timeout.	int	1000
exponential_delay_power_base	The power base used to exponentially increase the revolt timeout per round.	string	1.2
exponential_delay_max	Maximum allowable revolt timeout (in milliseconds).	int	600000
fast_revolt_status_timeout	Time (in milliseconds) since the last status message before a node is considered disconnected.	int	-1
revolt_when_should_build_block	Begins counting the revolt timeout when it’s considered possible to build a block.	boolean	false
