Permissionless Blockchains Sample Clauses

Ethereum: In Ethereum, the block timestamp is set by the node that mined the block, and the validity rules dictate that the timestamp should be monotonously ascending and each block’s timestamp is earlier than 15 minutes into the future from the current time.
