This page explores the various ways that SKALE Chains can be configured. Want to customize your chain in a way not found here? Head over to the SKALE Forum and share your ideas or join the SKALE team in Discord to share your idea(s)!

​
State Configuration

One of the most important decisions made when creating a new SKALE Chain is where the state is going to be allocated. There are three areas that node storage is allocatable too:
  1. Consensus Database: the area of the node responsible for storing block data
  2. Contract Storage: the area of the node that stores active contract state
  3. Filestorage: the area of the node responsible for storing files uploaded or replicated via SKALE Filestorage

Transaction Processing

SKALE Chains have two options when it comes to transaction processing.
  • Standard Processing: allows for a single transaction per account/wallet per block. Great for chains interested matching Ethereum’s transaction processing architecture
  • Multi-transaction Mode (Recommended): great for chains catering to high-throughput applications
