Avalanche Developer Community Call: P Chain Epoched Views (ACP-181)

In this meeting, the Avalanche Developer Community discussed ACP-181, which proposes a standardized P-Chain epoching scheme to optimize validator set retrievals. Currently, VMs must fetch validator sets during block execution, which can be inefficient. By introducing epochs—fixed periods where the P-Chain height remains constant—VMs can pre-fetch validator sets and reduce on-chain overhead.

This ACP does not introduce epochs directly to the P-Chain but provides a standard for layers (like ProposerVM) that inject P-Chain state into VMs.

Avalanche is a high-performance blockchain platform designed for builders who need to scale. Engineered with a revolutionary three-part Layer 1 (L1) architecture, Avalanche is anchored by its Avalanche Consensus Mechanism, ensuring near-instant finality for transactions. The platform also features an open-source Layer 0 (L0) framework, enabling the seamless creation of interoperable Layer 1 blockchains with high throughput on both public and private networks.

Supported by a global community of developers and validators, Avalanche offers a fast, low-cost environment for building the next generation of decentralized applications (dApps). With its unique blend of speed, flexibility, and scalability, Avalanche is the preferred choice for innovators pushing the boundaries of blockchain technology.
