@MonikaCat can you explain the whole logic here?
In the original implementation, averageBlcokTime = lastBlockTime - genesisTime / blockHeight. This is always true for the idea of average block time.

Since the genesis time value had been removed from the settings.json file, we cannot calculate the average block time by using averageBlockTime = lastBlockTime - genesisTime / blockHeight. To handle the calculations, I initially added averageBlockTimeWindow in settings.json file to calculate the average block time of last n blocks...

However, I changed the approach and I've just updated the code to calculate average block time starting from the startHeight height set in params in settings.json file

Ah... I have missed the genesisTime in the default_settings.json. It should be there as this is how the average block time is being calculated. Querying from chain is not feasible as the genesis could be huge. The size on cosmoshub-4 can't even give a full response if we query from the api.

I see! Alright I will update the code to include genesisTime calculations again.

Updated, how does it do now?
