    Ok(())

## Response

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "result": {
    "firstNormalEpoch": 0,
    "firstNormalSlot": 0,
    "leaderScheduleSlotOffset": 432000,
    "slotsPerEpoch": 432000,
    "warmup": false
  },
  "id": 1
}
```

## Result

The result field will be an object with the following fields:

**`firstNormalEpoch`** · u64

The first normal-length epoch after the warmup period. See the [`EpochSchedule`](https://github.com/anza-xyz/solana-sdk/blob/clock%40v2.2.3/epoch-schedule/src/lib.rs#L67-L70) definition in `solana-sdk` for the exact derivation.

**`firstNormalSlot`** · u64

The first slot in the first normal-length epoch. See the [`EpochSchedule`](https://github.com/anza-xyz/solana-sdk/blob/clock%40v2.2.3/epoch-schedule/src/lib.rs#L72-L75) definition in `solana-sdk` for the exact derivation.

**`leaderScheduleSlotOffset`** · u64

The number of slots before beginning of an epoch to calculate a leader schedule for that epoch.

**`slotsPerEpoch`** · u64

The maximum number of slots in each epoch.

**`warmup`** · bool

Whether epochs start short and grow.
