Since the creation of the genesis block of the Abelian network in April 2022, the Proof-of-Work (PoW) difficulty adjustment algorithm has remained unchanged. This algorithm operates on a cycle of 4,000 blocks, which is also referred to as an epoch. At the conclusion of each epoch — specifically at block heights 4,000, 8,000, 12,000, and so on — each Abelian node calculates the time taken to complete that epoch. The goal is to regulate the average block time to 256 seconds, aiming to complete an epoch roughly every 12 days.
