GLOSSARY

Block time

Block time refers to the average time interval between two consecutive blocks added to the blockchain. In Ethereum, the block time is approximately 12-14 seconds. This metric is essential for network throughput and transaction finality. A shorter block time allows for faster transaction confirmations, while a longer block time provides more time for nodes to sync and validate blocks across the decentralized network.
