# Network Specifications

## Network Specifications

### Algorithm

Larissa Protocol operates on the Ethash proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm. Ethash is a memory-hard PoW algorithm designed to be ASIC-resistant, promoting a more decentralized and equitable mining environment. This algorithm ensures the security and immutability of the Larissa blockchain.

### Target Block Time

The Larissa Protocol network has a dynamic block time, with an average target of 8-15 seconds. The rapid block time enhances transaction throughput and responsiveness, making it well-suited for real-time decentralized applications and services.

### Network IDs

Larissa Protocol is accessible on network IDs:

* **Mainnet:** Network ID <mark style="color:blue;">**9898**</mark>

These network IDs distinguish between the main network (for real transactions) and the test network (for testing and development).

### RPC Server

To interact with the Larissa Protocol blockchain, you can use the following RPC (Remote Procedure Call) server:

* **Mainnet RPC Server:** <https://rpc.larissa.network>

The RPC server allows developers and applications to send queries and transactions to the Larissa blockchain, making it an essential tool for building on the network and accessing blockchain data.

### Other Technical Details

* **Consensus Mechanism:** Proof of Work (PoW)
* **Mining Algorithm:** Ethash
* **Block Reward:** 5 LRS
* **Halving Schedule: 0.62% weekly deduction**
* Block Reward Emission Schedule : <https://larissa.network/emission>

These specifications provide a comprehensive overview of the Larissa Protocol network's technical details, from its algorithm and block time to network IDs and RPC server information. It serves as a foundational reference for developers, miners, and stakeholders interested in the Larissa ecosystem.
