Hashrate
Mining● Common
The computational power being applied to mining, measured in hashes per second. Network hashrate is estimated from block frequency and difficulty. Higher hashrate means more security (costlier to attack) but also more energy consumption. Current Bitcoin network: ~500-600 EH/s (exahashes/second).
Technical Notes
Units: KH/s (10³), MH/s (10⁶), GH/s (10⁹), TH/s (10¹²), PH/s (10¹⁵), EH/s (10¹⁸). Estimated from: hashrate ≈ difficulty × 2³² / 600. Difficulty adjusts every 2016 blocks to maintain 10-minute average. 51% attack requires sustained majority hashrate.
