The core time unit in the Tockchain DLT, equal to a one-second UTC timestamp in the Tockchain Consensus mechanism, during which one block is generated and one VNET reward is minted and distributed. The word “Tock” is a portmanteau coined by Valis blending “Tick" (a time interval) and “Block" (from Blockchain), to form "tock".
