Network Primitives
Epochs
Arkreen Network marks the passing of an epoch approximately every 60 minutes (one hour). Mining rewards are distributed per epoch (as opposed to per block in most blockchain-based systems). At the conclusion of each epoch, the Arkreen Foundation will update the ledger for all the AKRE produced from that epoch period.
The epochs in different duration is listed in the below table:
Duration | Epochs |
|---|---|
| Day | 24 |
| Week | 168 |
| Month | 720 |
| Year | 8,640 |
Transactions
The Arkreen Network has many transaction types. The following are the most important ones:
- Registration transaction: adding a Solar Miner to the Arkreen Network;
- Proof of green data transactions: green facilities report their proof for green impact;
- Rewards transaction: trigger the Arkreen network to reward each participant.
Accounts, Wallets and Keys
The Arkreen Network uses an EVM compatible ERC20 smart contract to manage participant’s token balance. Users can use the Arkreen mobile application wallet and manage their balance.
