Details

  • Only mainchain (non-orphaned/uncles) blocks are counted.
  • For chains that use median time, the day is defined using it, otherwise, it’s defined using the block’s timestamps.

Asset-Specific Details

  • This metric is not available for all assets, as some node’s RPC APIs do not expose the size of the blocks.

Release History

  • Released in the 1.0 release of NDP

Interpretation

  • Can be used to measure and compare blockchains' usages and fees
  • Can help gauge gas/fee for large transactions:
    • fee per byte = total block fee/block size (byte)
