What Is a Block (Blockchain Block)?

Blocks are data structures within the blockchain database, where transaction data in a cryptocurrency blockchain are permanently recorded. A block records some or all of the most recent transactions not yet validated by the network. Once the data are validated, the block is closed. Then, a new block is created for new transactions to be entered into and validated.

A block is thus a permanent store of records that, once written, cannot be altered or removed.

What Is Block Time?

Block time is the measure of the time it takes the miners or validators within a network to verify transactions within one block and produce a new block in that blockchain.

Blockchains were first popularized by Bitcoin when it was introduced in 2009. The technology has grown as more cryptocurrencies are created, each of which can use different or the same blockchain, validation methods, and techniques for creating new blocks.

My dashboard

In this dashboard, I have reviewed the blocks of each blockchain. The networks selected for review include:

• Arbitrum

• Ethereum

• Flow

• Polygon

• Solna

have paid. A period of 60 days has been used to obtain the data. The following are checked for each block and each network:

• Daily avarage time between blocks in diffrence chains
• Avarage diffrence time per block in diffrence chains
• Max diffrence time per block in diffrence chains
• Min diffrence time per block in diffrence chains
• Number of transactions per block in chains

First, we examine the time difference between two blocks on different days.

As it is known, the most stable network is related to ethereum, which has been almost constant in the investigated period.

The arbitrum network was disrupted due to the launch of the Odyssey project and the influx of users, and it led to the network being down for a long time.

The flow network has had problems in recent days and the time difference has increased.

Solana network despite the recent problems and The number of transactions is high, the average time difference between the blocks has been almost constant and it has performed really well

Now let's examine the average difference between the blocks in the 60-day period.

It is clear that the biggest difference is related to ethereum, and even though it is almost a stable network,

it has a large number of blocks compared to the others. Polygon is next due to its numerous users and layer two performance mechanism.

The lowest time difference is in the Solana network, which had a very acceptable performance despite the disruption and the number of transactions

It is time to check the number of transactions in each block.

A very strange record goes to the solana project. Despite the small time difference between the two blocks, it has the highest amount of transactions!!!! That is, thirty times the polygon network, ten times the ethereum network. Despite the small time difference between the two blocks.

The polygon network still has a long way to go to reach high numbers and needs a lot of work from developers.

The flow and arbitrum network also still have a lot of work to do to reach these top projects due to their newness

In the examination of the maximum amount of time difference between the blocks, which shows the stability of the network, the polygon network is in the first place and has the least amount of disruption in the 60-day period.

While other networks such as Solana and Ethereum had minor disturbances, which increased the time loss between two blocks in this period of time.

The flow network has been updated and disrupted in recent days, and it has led to network interruption for several hours and has led to this record.

The arbitrum network was also disrupted due to the launch of the Odyssey project and the influx of users, leading to a new record in the difference between the two blocks.

The flow, arbitrum, and solana networks have a history of registering a time difference of less than one second and up to a hundredth of a second, which shows the high capability of these networks. In some cases, these networks have recorded a time difference of less than one second due to the acceptable speed of transactions

The polygon network has also preferred stable performance over fast performance, and Tefreba had an average performance in order to record a 2-second time difference record.
