Mean block interval

What is "Mean block interval"?

The average time in seconds between consecutive blocks, calculated as the arithmetic mean of inter-block intervals over the selected period.

Why is "Mean block interval" important?

Mean block interval reflects the effective block production pace. Deviations from the target block time may indicate changes in protocol parameters or network conditions. The metric helps assess network stability and approximate transaction confirmation time.

How is "Mean block interval" calculated?

Mean block interval = sum of all time intervals between consecutive blocks / number of intervals over the period.
