# Operating Configuration The Operating Configuration defines all of the parameters for customizing an instance of the Fractal engine. Much of the parameters are ```readonly static```, meaning they are applied at startup and cannot be modified after the Genesis Particle[^2] has been rendered. ## Base Values The following values are NOT an all-encompassing set of configuration values. - VFN Network Identifier - Operating Mode - Secrecy Identifier - Minimum Standards supported[^1] - Supported authentication providers - Vecton Ciphers employed - Encryption algorithms employed - Prioritized digital signature algorithms - Object parsing algorithms - Allowed asset types (if applicable) - Core plugins supported - Community plugins supported - Regional settings - Logical Hives failover regional pairs - Display date and time format - Minimum processing latency allowed - Maximum degree of parallelism - Default Gateway Bridges - Primary Fiat currency conversion - Secondary Fiat currency conversion - Tertiary Fiat currency conversion - Curators directory - Replication Lenses - Network Security Groups - RBAC rules - ABAC rules - Security Group Permissions - Fractalant permissions - Fractalant Roles permissions ## Operating Modes Part of the Instance Operating Configuration is setting the 'Operating Mode', which dictates how the instance will operate overall. Following are the possible Operating Modes - [[Fractal Technology/Configuration/Operating Modes/ARDbE|ARDbE]] - Augmented Relational Database Engine - [[Fractal Technology/Configuration/Operating Modes/DDDA|DDDA]] - Decentralized Distributed Digital Assets - [[Fractal Technology/Configuration/Operating Modes/DDDO|DDDO]] - Decentralized Distributed Document Objects - [[Fractal Technology/Configuration/Operating Modes/DDHT|DDHT]] - Decentralized Distributed Hash Tables - [[Fractal Technology/Configuration/Operating Modes/RDDHT|RDDHT]] - Replicated Decentralized Distributed Hash Tables - [[Fractal Technology/Configuration/Operating Modes/DGraph|DGraph]] - Decentralized Graph ##### Relevant Search Tags > #vfn-config #operating-config [^1]: [[Vertisan DeFi/Extensibility Standards|Extensibility Standards]] for Vertisan DeFi [^2]: Genesis Particle
