Latencies
Hyperlane block finality latency configuration.
Validators must wait a certain number of blocks to be mined before they are considered valid and reorg-safe. Without this, validators could be slashed since they may have signed a checkpoint that is no longer valid.
Refer to the following sections for block finality configuration used by the Hyperlane validators.
Network | Reorg Period | Validator Polling Interval |
|---|---|---|
Arbitrum | 1 block | 1s |
Avalanche | 3 blocks (6s) | 2s |
BSC | 15 blocks (45s) | 3s |
Celo | 0 blocks (5s) | 5s |
Ethereum | 20 blocks (260s) | 15s |
Gnosis | 14 blocks (74s) | 5s |
Moonbeam | 2 blocks (20s) | 5s |
Optimism | 0 blocks | 15s |
Polygon | 256 blocks (~540s) | 2s |
Network | Reorg Period | Validator Polling Interval |
