Epochs Berachain ​

Git Source

Epochs represent an interval of time. There are many different epochs, however the epoch most PoL dApps use can be identified by berachain_epoch_identifier.

Berachain tracks the following epochs:

• day
• hour
• week
• berachain_epoch_identifier

Example:

Number of seconds in a day = (24 * 60 * 60) seconds = 86400

Given a block time of 5 seconds, an epoch of a day would last approximately: 86400/5 = 17280

A new epoch would begin every 17280 blocks based on this math.
