ArxNode is Arxium’s node software, the same code producing a block every two seconds on the devnet right now. Four validators run it, and finality keeps going when one of them is down.
A real four-validator network, not a simulation. Each validator produces blocks on its round-robin turn, signs them and gossips them over libp2p. We test it on the live network: with one validator stopped, the other three kept finalizing, and the fourth caught up through sync when it came back.
| Component | Status | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Consensus & block production | Live | Stake-weighted BFT finality with vote rounds and locks; ed25519-signed blocks at a fixed interval. |
| P2P networking & sync | Live | libp2p gossipsub plus request/response sync across four validators on separate hosts. |
| Execution disputes | Live | A validator whose replay disagrees with a block can challenge it within a 12-hour window. |
| Dynamic validator set | Live | Join/leave as regular on-chain actions. |
| Stake-weighted consensus | Live | Voting power follows stake, with a per-validator cap; jailing, slashing and a 14-day unbonding period. |
| Smart contracts | Not yet | Only fixed protocol circuits today: transfers, RWA compliance, tokens, staking, programmable accounts. |
| Spoke chains | On demand | For issuers who need their own execution environment, built when one asks for it. |
Fixed-interval blocks, each ed25519-signed by its proposer and finalized by stake-weighted validator votes.
libp2p gossipsub propagates actions and blocks; mDNS on a LAN, chain-spec boot nodes across networks.
A node behind the network's tip requests the gap and replays it through the same validation path gossip uses.
Join and leave are on-chain actions, not a config edit. The set is recomputed per height, so a syncing node always agrees.
Per-peer bad-gossip banning, connection limits, and a 1 MiB gossip cap keep a misbehaving peer from costing the network anything.
Block and account writes commit atomically and fsync to disk, so a hard crash can't leave the tip ahead of durable state.
Live today, with stake-weighted finality and on-chain disputes.
Builders invited to issue assets, transfer and verify on the devnet.
Outside validators join as the protocol moves toward a public network.
Outside validators are not onboarded yet. When they are, it will be announced on the changelog first.
