Updated 2026-10-04: epoch length, unbonding window and self-bond limits match the chain; delegation is not live on testnet.
TL;DR
Every network-level constant in one table. Placeholders are clearly marked. Final values are set before mainnet, and holders can signal on them through protocol governance.
Chain identity
| Network | Asentum Testnet |
| Chain ID | 1423 (0x58f) |
| Native token | ASE |
| Smallest unit | wei (10⁻¹⁸ ASE) |
| RPC URL | https://explorer.asentum.com |
| Explorer | https://explorer.asentum.com |
Block production
| Target block time | 2 seconds (real block time varies with load) |
| Finality | GRANDPA, 2/3 stake-weighted (trails the head by a few blocks) |
| Block gas limit | 30,000,000 gas |
| Base fee adjustment | ±12.5% per block (EIP-1559) |
| Hashing | BLAKE3 |
| Signatures | ML-DSA-65 (Dilithium3) |
| Serialization | SSZ |
| State | Sparse Merkle Tree over LevelDB |
Consensus
| Consensus | Aura (block production) + GRANDPA (finality) |
| Validator set | Scales to hundreds of validators |
| Supermajority | 2/3 of staked weight |
| Proposer rotation | Round-robin within epoch |
| Epoch length | 300 blocks (testnet) |
| Pending window | 10 blocks (about 20 s at 2-second blocks) |
| Unbonding window | 1,296,000 blocks (about 30 days at 2-second blocks; roughly 2 to 3 months at recent block times). Cannot be cancelled; matured ASE must be claimed |
Economics
| Max supply | 1,000,000,000 ASE (hard floor) |
| Base fee | 100% burned (service-node split planned) |
| Priority fee | 100% to proposer |
| Minimum self-bond | 500 ASE (chain-enforced) |
| Maximum self-bond | 50,000,000 ASE |
| Signing committee | 100 seats per epoch, filled by stake (top 50 core seats plus reserve; ties at the cutoff rotate). The 500 ASE minimum makes you a candidate; the cutoff moves as people bond (see the explorer validators page) |
| Delegation | Not live on testnet (coming in a future update); validators self-bond only |
| Per-validator reward cap | 10% of each block's rewards; the excess returns to the reward pool |
| Slashing | Tombstone only: proven equivocation removes the validator from the active set; no stake burned (burning planned) |
Governance
| Contract | ase1qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqr624k8e (testnet, signalling only) |
| Proposal bond | 100 ASE (returned when quorum is met) |
| Voting window | 2,160 to 604,800 blocks (about 72 min to 14 days at 2-second blocks) |
| Default voting window | 43,200 blocks (about 24 h at 2-second blocks) |
| Vote weight | ASE sent with the vote (lock-to-vote, not stake-weighted) |
| Quorum | 1,000 ASE of votes, proposer's own vote not counted |
| Majority | Simple majority, a tie is rejected |
| Execution delay | 100 blocks after voting ends |
| Amendments | Up to 16 per proposal, no bond |
Limits
| Max transaction size | 128 KB |
| Max contract source size | 64 KB |
| Max event payload | 16 KB |
| Max per-block txs | Bounded by gas limit |
| Validator bandwidth target | ≤ 50 GB/month |
| Validator disk | 40 GB SSD minimum, 80 GB recommended (blocks grow about 1 to 2 GB a day) |
