# `getEpochSchedule`

Returns epoch schedule information from the cluster's genesis configuration. <CreditCost network="solana" method="getEpochSchedule" />

## Parameters

None

## Returns

`result` - An object with the following fields:

- `firstNormalEpoch` - The first normal length epoch. Calculated as `log2(slotsPerEpoch) - log2(MINIMUM_SLOTS_PER_EPOCH)`.
- `firstNormalSlot` - The slot number of the first normal slot. Calculated as `MINIMUM_SLOTS_PER_EPOCH * (2.pow(firstNormalEpoch) - 1)`.
- `leaderScheduleSlotOffset` - The number of slots before starting an epoch to calculate a leader schedule for that epoch.
- `slotsPerEpoch` - The maximum number of slots in each epoch.
- `warmup` - Whether epochs start shorter and grow in length. During warmup (`true`) the epoch schedule starts small and
  gradually increases to ease the network into normal operation, whereas without warmup (`false`), epochs have a
  consistent length from the start.
