How to use it if you are Block Producer Candidate

Create a file named bp.json in the root of your domain. For instance http://yourwebsite.com/bp.json When you register your producer using the system.regproducer action, the url field should be filled with http://yourwebsite.com. Do not put the bp.json file in the url.

Overriding jsons for specific chains

You can override properties of the base bp.json file by creating a chain specific json file next to your base.

--/
----index.html
----bp.json
----bp.${chain_id}.json
----bp.2018052300203000000000000000000000000000000000007472696e6974790a.json

The bp.json and bp.${chain_id}.json will be merged and any property inside of the chain specific json file will override the base properties.
