BPX is a new generation Ethereum-compatible blockchain based upon an innovative consensus algorithm, Proof of Space and Time known from the Chia Network. Proof of Space is a cryptographic technique where farmers prove that they allocate unused hard disk space to the network. Proof of Time increases the overall security of the blockchain.
BPX provides a standard Web3 RPC API, so it works out of the box with all popular wallets (e.g. Metamask, Trust Wallet) and development tools (e.g. Remix IDE, Web3.js). Developers can build smart contracts and dApps in Solidity language and all existing Ethereum solutions can be migrated to the BPX network without any changes in source code.
BPX supports standard K-32 plots and can be farmed with Chia at the same time.
BPX, like Ethereum, requires a Beacon Client and an Execution Client to operate a full node. Our Execution Client is just a fork of Geth, with no modifications except mainnet and testnet params. The BPX Beacon Client uses the standard Engine API provided by Geth. However, unlike Ethereum, our Beacon Chain is not Proof of Stake but Proof of Space and Time.
Our implementation is now complete and we launched a public testnet. If you want to participate in tests, download the official clients here:
