Expiry

Expiry = object

Defined in: src/entity/expiry.ts:23

How long an entity should live.

This is the pair the ABI carries, and the engine resolves it as max(expiresAt, currentBlock + minLifetime) — whichever is later. Build one with ExpirationTime; there is no other way to make one.

Which slot a value lands in also decides which rules govern it. minLifetime is a duration, so it must come to a whole number of blocks. expiresAt is a block height, which is a whole number by construction, so a wall-clock date rounds into it rather than being rejected.
