Gnosis Beacon Chain follows the Ethereum Proof-of-Stake consensus specifications with different preset values. See Separation of Constant, Preset and Configuration variables #2390 as definition of a preset versus a regular chain config.
Refer to ./consensus/config/gnosis.yaml for the chain's full config.
Note that modified preset values will result in different SSZ data structures, such that a client compiled with the Ethereum mainnet preset can't deserialize a state from the Gnosis Beacon Chain.

Increased to match the expected 2 weeks rollups consider today for Ethereum mainnet. The total disk requirement roughly equivalent to Ethereum mainnet since epochs are 4.8x faster |
