# Step Hash Size Function

*Disclaimer: The below information is based on a draft of the XYO Layer One White Paper.*

The **Step Hash Size** is determined using a modified [**primorial function**](#user-content-fn-1)[^1], defined as the product of the first ( n + 2 ) prime numbers, incremented by 1. This structure ensures that step intervals avoid overlapping too frequently, enabling broader and more distributed step coverage across the blockchain.

More details on the Step Hash Size Function coming soon.

[^1]: A function that only multiplies [prime numbers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number).
