A peek under the hood — how we build, what we track, and why we do it in the open.

Each bar shows the time between consecutive blocks. Bitcoin targets ~10 minutes per block. Color indicates speed: orange (normal), yellow (slow), red (very slow). Click any bar to see full block details.
Network Overview

- Mined BTC / 21M

- Block Reward

- Blocks to Halving
- --
- Est. Halving

The Bitcoin network produces a new block approximately every 10 minutes. The block reward (new bitcoin created per block) halves every 210,000 blocks. The total supply is capped at 21 million BTC — the hardest money ever created.

Hashrate measures the total computational power securing the network. Difficulty adjusts every 2,016 blocks (~2 weeks) to keep block times near 10 minutes. Higher hashrate and difficulty mean a more secure network.
Mempool & Fees
- Unconfirmed Transactions

- Mempool Size

- Fast ~10 min

- Medium ~30 min

- Slow ~1 hour

The mempool is the waiting room for unconfirmed transactions. Fee rates (in sat/vB) determine transaction priority. Higher fees get confirmed faster. When the mempool is empty, even minimum fees confirm quickly.
Lightning Network

The Lightning Network is Bitcoin's layer-2 scaling solution enabling instant, low-fee payments. Nodes open payment channels and route transactions across the network. Capacity is the total BTC locked in Lightning channels.
Understanding the Metrics
- Block Height — The total number of blocks ever mined, starting from the genesis block (block 0) on January 3, 2009.
- Hashrate — The total computational power (in hashes per second) used by miners to secure the network and process transactions.
- Difficulty — A measure that adjusts every 2,016 blocks to ensure blocks are found approximately every 10 minutes, regardless of total hashrate.
- Mempool — The set of all unconfirmed transactions waiting to be included in a block. Think of it as Bitcoin's waiting room.
- Fee Rate — The price (in satoshis per virtual byte) a user pays to prioritize their transaction. Higher fees = faster confirmation.
- Lightning Network — A layer-2 payment protocol built on Bitcoin that enables near-instant, low-cost transactions through a network of payment channels.
