)

Constants

MinimumPeriod

The minimum period between blocks. Beware that this is different to the expected period that the block production apparatus provides. Your chosen consensus system will generally work with this to determine a sensible block time. e.g. For Aura, it will be double this period on default settings.

Value

6000

Python

constant = substrate.get_constant('Timestamp', 'MinimumPeriod')
