Litecoin on-chain data

Hashrate is an estimate

The snapshot uses Blockchair’s 24-hour estimate. It is inferred from work and block production, not a count of machines. Providers using different windows need not report the same estimate. Difficulty alone cannot measure mining profit.

Addresses and transactions are not users

One owner may control many addresses; one custodial address may represent many owners. Confirmed transactions include consolidations, self-transfers and other activity. These totals do not independently establish adoption, accumulation or payment volume.

Mean fees are not fee-rate recommendations

The provider reports average_transaction_fee_24h in litoshi; 100,000,000 litoshi equal 1 LTC. A rolling average total fee spans transactions of different sizes. Its USD equivalent uses the network snapshot’s price, which can differ from the header’s market feed. For a payment, use a fee rate and the signed virtual size in the fee calculator.

Source age and block age are separate

The snapshot is labelled current only when the source is no more than 15 minutes old, the observed tip timestamp no more than 30 minutes old, and refreshes have not failed. These conservative limits can mark a healthy network as cached during a long block gap. Fetching a cached response does not reset its source time.
