What we have observed
Transactions waiting in the provider's mempool
Provider's rolling 24-hour average fee
These are overlapping snapshots. Averaging the displayed fee values does not produce a transaction-weighted fee for the whole period. A provider's mempool is one view of the network.
Block timestamp intervals
Differences between timestamps in adjacent recorded block headers. Miner-set timestamps are not stopwatch measurements of confirmation time.
| Measure · last 30 days of available blocks | Observed result |
|---|---|
| Valid adjacent intervals | 128 |
| Median interval | 113.5 seconds |
| 90th percentile | 405.6 seconds |
| Intervals longer than 10 minutes | 1 |
| Missing heights inside the recorded range | 0 |
| Negative timestamp differences excluded | 0 |
| Observed block-hash replacements | 0 |
Each collection requests the latest 100 blocks. The initial window may include blocks mined before collection began; their first retrieval time is retained. Missing heights are excluded from adjacent-interval calculations. The most recent 100 heights are rechecked for changed hashes; deep reorganizations outside that window may be missed.
A reproducible fee-size experiment
How much does consolidating many inputs change the size of a standard native SegWit payment? The model below assumes P2WPKH inputs, two P2WPKH outputs and an illustrative fee rate of 1 litoshi/vB. This is a size calculation, not a live fee quote.
| Inputs | Estimated vbytes | Model fee · LTC |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 141 | 0.00000141 |
| 10 | 753 | 0.00000753 |
| 100 | 6,873 | 0.00006873 |
What this archive does not measure yet
We do not publish first-seen-to-confirmation timings. That study needs a consistently running observer, a documented transaction sample and a record of transactions that never confirm within the study window. Block timestamps alone cannot answer it.
MWEB private transfer amounts, individual users and merchant sales are not inferred from these snapshots. Missing values remain missing.
