The parameters of the experiment can be found in parameters.py.
To reproduce figure 1 in our report, use the following parameters and run python3 simulator.py.
NUM_VALIDATORS = 3 # number of validators at each checkpoint
VALIDATOR_IDS = list(range(0, NUM_VALIDATORS)) # set of validators
INITIAL_VALIDATORS = list(range(0, NUM_VALIDATORS)) # set of validators for root
BLOCK_PROPOSAL_TIME = 100 # adds a block every 100 ticks
EPOCH_SIZE = 5 # checkpoint every 5 blocks
AVG_LATENCY = 100 # average latency of the network (in number of ticks)To reproduce figures 2 and 3, use the following parameters and run python3 metrics.py.
NUM_VALIDATORS = 100 # number of validators at each checkpoint
VALIDATOR_IDS = list(range(0, NUM_VALIDATORS)) # set of validators
INITIAL_VALIDATORS = list(range(0, NUM_VALIDATORS)) # set of validators for root
BLOCK_PROPOSAL_TIME = 100 # adds a block every 100 ticks
EPOCH_SIZE = 5 # checkpoint every 5 blocks
AVG_LATENCY = 100 # will be modified in metrics
