What parameters cannot be changed in production environment?

Question

Hi,

I would like to start a private blockchain with around 100 nodes in the community. Future applications etc. will be defined later. What parameters can I not change once going into a production environment? The blockchain will have its own native currency using mining diversity. So I think if I define the blockchain parameters these are the ones that cannot be changed? Applications can then be built on top of the chain?

Thanks!

Answer 1

For now it's not possible to change the blockchain parameters after it is created. This is an issue we'll be addressing in depth in MultiChain 2.0, as described in this roadmap:

Note however that some blockchain parameters only act as defaults, and can be overridden by each node using runtime parameters: https://www.multichain.com/developers/runtime-parameters/
