Example: For a network with TPS = 30,000 and Reliability = 5 nines (99.999%), CPS = √(30,000 × 10^5) ≈ √3,000,000,000 ≈ 54,772.

This metric is calculated as the Network Cost per Second divided by the Maximum Theoretical TPS, where Network Cost per Second is derived from the Network Cost per Month divided by the number of seconds in an average month (2,629,800 seconds). Example: With a Network Cost per Second = $10 (from $26,298/month ÷ 2,629,800 seconds) and Peak TPS = 30,000, Cost per Transaction = $10 / 30,000 ≈ $0.000333 per transaction.

The period during which a Blockchain network is unable to fully perform its intended functions, including processing validated Transactions or maintaining Tockchain Consensus. Downtime may include full network unavailability due to outages or partial disruptions, such as temporary consensus failures, where the network remains operational but cannot validate transactions. Downtime is determined by identifying the total time over a defined period during which the network fails to process validated transactions, either fully (outages) or partially (consensus failures), and is typically expressed in seconds, hours, or days depending on the context. Example: If the Tockchain Network experiences a 10-minute outage and 50 Empty Tocks due to consensus issues over a day (86,400 seconds), the downtime is 600 seconds (outage) plus 50 seconds (one second per empty tock), resulting in 650 seconds of total downtime.

A metric representing the reliability and effectiveness of the Tockchain Consensus mechanism, expressed as a percentage, which measures the proportion of Tocks that successfully contribute to the consensus process and include validated Transactions relative to the total number of tocks produced over a defined period. This metric is calculated by dividing the number of non-Empty Tocks by the total number of tocks over a defined period, then multiplying by 100 to express as a percentage. Example: In a one-hour period (3,600 seconds, or 3,600 tocks), the Tockchain Network experiences 36 empty tocks due to node failures. The number of non-empty tocks is 3,564. The Tock Quality is calculated as 3,564 divided by 3,600, multiplied by 100, resulting in 99%. This indicates that 99% of tocks successfully contributed to consensus, with a 1% Failure Rate attributable to empty tocks.

An acronym for Transactions Per Second.

The buying, selling, or Swapping of Assets, such as VUSD or QUBIC, in the Tockchain DLT through mechanisms like Orderbook or Liquidity Pool, facilitated by transactions like Poolswap Transaction or Maker Order Transaction in the Tockchain DLT.

Valis’s implementation of a Crypto Transaction in the Tockchain DLT that modifies the Tockchain Ledger, identified by a TXID. The Tockchain DLT supports three transaction types: Standard Transaction, Special Transaction Type, and System Transaction.

The average number of Transactions that can be included in a single Block on a Blockchain network, reflecting the block’s capacity to handle transaction volume under typical conditions. This metric is calculated as the Block Size divided by the Smallest Transaction Size, rounded down to the nearest whole number to account for the maximum integer number of transactions that fit within a block’s data limit, based on the blockchain’s protocol specifications. Example: If a Block has a Block Size of 1,000,000 bytes and the smallest transaction size is 250 bytes, the Transactions per Block is calculated as 1,000,000 divided by 250, which equals 4,000. This indicates that up to 4,000 transactions can be included in the block.

The number of Transactions processed per second by a Blockchain under typical operational conditions. This metric is calculated as the total number of transactions processed over a given time interval divided by the duration of that interval in seconds. Example: For a network processing 1,800 transactions in 60 seconds, Transactions Per Second = 1,800 / 60 = 30 transactions per second.

The total adjusted value of assets locked in the Tockchain Ecosystem, including Liquidity Pools, Orderbook addresses, wallets, and Hashlock Transactions, measured in VUSD-equivalent holdings to determine Richlist Ranks and VNET rewards. This metric is calculated by summing the adjusted value of all holdings: VUSD at $1, VNET at pool price if 1% of supply sold, and other assets at pool price if 10% of supply sold, with bids and orders contributing to liquidity even if unfilled. If an address has a bid of $1,000,000 on VBTC at $1,000 (ensuring a spot in the 1,000 ID Richlist) and the adjusted value includes matching VUSD liquidity, the TVL contribution counts as $1,000,000, qualifying for VNET rewards if in the top 1000.

A unique identifier assigned to each transaction in the Tockchain DLT used externally to verify transaction validity. If valid, the transaction receives a Tockid for locating it in the Tockchain Ledger in the future.

A System Transaction in the Tockchain DLT that cancels a pending network configuration change, such as node addition or removal, to prevent unintended disruptions in the Tockchain Network.

One of the layers in the Dual-Layer L1 Tockchain DLT where Validator Nodes process and validate transactions from the Consensus Layer, update the Tockchain Ledger state, and handle Special Transaction Types.

A node that operates in the Tockchain’s Validation Layer, responsible for processing and validating transactions from the Consensus Layer, updating the Tockchain Ledger state, and handling Special Transaction Type.

An entity that manages and operate Validator Nodes in the Tockchain DLT’s Validation Layer. They handle the processing and validation of transactions, ensuring the integrity of the Tockchain Network.

The total amount of time a Blockchain network is unavailable over a year, measured in days, indicating reliability issues and network performance gaps. This metric is calculated as the product of 365 (the number of days in a year) and the Failure Rate (100% - Reliability %) divided by 100. Example: For a Reliability of 95.25%, Yearly Downtime (in Days) = 365 × (100% - 95.25%) / 100 = 365 × 4.75 / 100 ≈ 17.34 days.

The total amount of time a Blockchain network is unavailable over a year, measured in hours, providing a finer granularity for reliability analysis. This metric is calculated as the product of 8,760 (the number of hours in a year) and the Failure Rate (100% - Reliability %) divided by 100. Example: For a Reliability of 95.25%, Yearly Downtime (in Hours) = 8,760 × (100% - 95.25%) / 100 = 8,760 × 4.75 / 100 ≈ 416.1 hours.
