Tock Quality

Tock Quality

A metric representing the reliability and effectiveness of the
Tockchain Consensus
mechanism, expressed as a percentage, which measures the proportion of
Tock
s that successfully contribute to the consensus process and include validated
Transaction
s relative to the total number of tocks produced over a defined period.

This metric is calculated by dividing the number of non-
Empty Tock
s 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.
