Network Parameters
This section outlines key protocol-level configurations that define Orbion’s network behavior — including block time, gas rules, staking constraints, and consensus tolerances. These parameters apply to the Orbion Testnet, and may be tuned for performance and stability prior to mainnet launch.
⏱️ Block & Finality Settings
Block Time
0.5 seconds
Time between block proposals
Finality Time
~2–3 seconds
Deterministic finality via DPoS
Max Tx per Block
5,000
Subject to gas limit and node config
Max Block Size
1 MB
Total raw block size cap
Orbion uses a deterministic finality model — blocks are final within 1–2 rounds of confirmation without probabilistic rollback.
⛽ Gas & Fee Parameters
Base Fee
Dynamic (EIP-1559)
Adjusts by demand, resets per epoch
Priority Fee (Tip)
Optional
Incentivizes faster inclusion
Min Gas Price
0.001 ORB
Rejects txs below this threshold
Gas Limit (per block)
30,000,000
Total gas cap per block
The dynamic fee model balances usability and network protection under load, while enabling fee burning for protocol alignment.
🧱 Staking & Slashing Parameters
Unbonding Time
7 days
Delegator unbonding delay
Max Validators
150
Active set on testnet
Min Self-Delegation
1 ORB
Required to stay in validator set
Downtime Slash
0.01% ORB
For missed blocks in tracking window
Double Sign Slash
5% ORB
Immediate penalty & jailing
Slashing Window
10,000 blocks
Used to track downtime metrics
All penalties are enforced via on-chain slashing logic, and misbehavior is recorded for public auditability.
🛰️ Governance Parameters
Voting Period
3 days
Duration of proposal voting
Quorum
33.4%
% of staked tokens required to participate
Threshold
50%+
% of YES votes required to pass
Deposit Amount
100 ORB
Required to submit a proposal
Proposal Delay
12 hours
Delay before execution (post-passing)
These values are subject to refinement as governance usage scales and attack surfaces are better understood.
🧠 Philosophy
Orbion’s parameters are tuned to balance:
Validator inclusivity with performance
Fast block production with deterministic finality
Low fees with fair usage protections
Governance flexibility with responsible thresholds
All configuration changes are subject to on-chain governance and will be transparently documented across network upgrades.
