  6. Enter the time intervals
  7. Click on Send

Calculation example for futures

You can distinguish between maturity and lock time:

  • Maturity (Block Count): The number of block confirmations required after the transaction is broadcast.
  • Lock Time (Time): A specific duration or timestamp measured in seconds.

Execution Logic: Maturity vs. Lock Time

In the Raptoreum network, you have two ways to schedule a Future Transaction. The network will execute the transaction as soon as either of these conditions is met.

The Scenario:

  • Current Date: February 20, 2026, 10:41 AM.
  • Target Date: March 1, 2026, 12:00 AM (Midnight).
  • Time Difference: 8 days, 13 hours, and 19 minutes.
  • Total Minutes: 12,319 minutes.

Option 1: Using Maturity (Block Count)

This method relies on the progress of the blockchain. Since the target block time is 2 minutes, we calculate the number of blocks required to bridge the time gap.

The Calculation:

  • Setting in Wallet: You enter 6160 in the Maturity field.
  • Pros/Cons: If the network hashrate increases (blocks are found faster), the transaction might execute slightly before March 1st. If the hashrate drops, it might execute later.

Option 2: Using Lock Time (Seconds)

This method uses a fixed timer. It is independent of how many blocks are found and relies on the Unix timestamp or a relative delay in seconds.

The Calculation:

  • Setting in Wallet: You enter 739140 in the Lock Time field.
  • Pros/Cons: This is precise according to the clock. However, the transaction still needs a block to be included in, so it will execute in the first block found after this time has elapsed.
