Average Block Time
The average number of seconds between new blocks being added to the chain.
Proof-of-work networks aim at a target interval by periodically adjusting mining difficulty, so Bitcoin averages roughly ten minutes per block regardless of how much hardware competes. Proof-of-stake networks such as Ethereum after the 2022 Merge instead run fixed time slots, and the observed interval only lengthens when a proposer misses its slot. The figure is reported in seconds.

Di mana hal ini menyesatkan
Target and realized block time are different things, and providers report both under the same label. Proof-of-work block discovery is a memoryless random process, so short samples routinely show intervals far from the target, and a sharp change in hash rate skews the realized average until the next difficulty adjustment corrects it. On fixed-slot proof-of-stake chains the number is nearly constant and therefore carries almost no information beyond missed-slot rates. Most importantly, block time is not settlement time: a fast interval says nothing about how long until a transaction is practically irreversible, which depends on confirmation depth on a probabilistic chain or on an explicit finality rule elsewhere.
Membaca nilai tinggi atau rendah
A shorter interval means blocks arrive more frequently and a longer interval means less frequently. Frequency of block production is separate from how long a transaction takes to become difficult to reverse.
