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 only available for assets that support SegWit.
Release History
- Released in the 4.2 release of NDP
Interpretation
Block weight is useful to determine how used a chain is. If the mean block weight is close to the maximum block weight possible, then the chain is close to 100% utilization.
