yes it will be in the code around here (this is for testnet4): https://github.com/spacesprotocol/spaced/blob/3107be99977210e45ae62a273decd5a8f9b3094d/protocol/src/constants.rs#L59

So, for this protocol, as long as people agree on a genesis block number and a set of consensus rules, the bitcoin blockchain is just used as a timestamping system for all transactions submitted? Is there anything else besides these 3 things that glue the trust in the system together? What else could cause a chain split in the spaces protocol?
