Empty Block - zoobc/zoobc-core GitHub Wiki

An empty block is a block without transaction (on mainchain) or spine public keys (on spinechain) . In zoobc we want to reach constant time block creation. Because of that occassionally we'll be arrive at a time of block creation event, when there is nothing in the Mempool.

Benefit

There are benefit of having the empty block in place:

• creating longer chain, making it harder to change the state of the blockchain.
