Tock

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".
