Application Fork Empty Block

In BigBang Core, the block height of the application fork chain is in sync with the block height of the security primary chain, used to support the application fork across the fork transactions and convenient fork block reference to the main chain of the same height of the consensus results, reduce the number of convenient query. Therefore, in order to maintain high consistency, the application fork may produce empty blocks. And between the empty block and the next fork block, no sub-block can be generated.

When the fork is applied to select the EDPoS node of the main chain to release the block, the EDPoS node of the main chain will take the Token value of the fork as the priority reference, and independently choose the supporting application fork.Lower value application fork may be part of the main chain EDPoS node excluded from the block list. In order to maintain the high synchronization of the main chain, the fork
chain will automatically fill an empty block.
