Litecoin weekly observations

A short record of what changed, what was measured and one useful task to try. Reports link to their data and keep missing observations visible.

On a narrow screen, charts and wide tables can be scrolled sideways.

Completed UTC week · 28 Sep–04 Oct 2026

672 archived snapshots across seven days

The median observed mempool count was 257 transactions. The archive contains 4,180 block headers for this period. 4,179 adjacent non-negative timestamp differences give a median of 102.0 seconds and a 90th percentile of 337.0 seconds.

Successful collection slots: 669/672 (99.6%). The longest gap between retrieved snapshots, including the week boundaries, was 15.0 minutes.

Missing heights: 0. Negative header-time differences excluded: 0. Overlapping fee snapshots and uneven sampling limit interpretation; this is not an independently measured network-wide average.

Launch note · 24 September 2026

The observation archive has started

We now retain source-stamped network snapshots and recent block headers. The first completed weekly report will appear after a full UTC week has observations on all seven days and at least 90% of its collection slots succeed. Until then, the research page shows exactly the sample collected so far. Each completed report will include two SVG charts, daily coverage, frozen CSV inputs and a reproduction script.

Current partial week: 46 snapshots on 1 UTC day. This is not a full-week comparison.

Release to know about

Our Core update page explains the maintainer notice for 0.21.5.8 and links to the original release and download-verification guide.

One useful task

Take a completed public transaction from your own wallet and use the transaction checker. Compare the network's confirmation count with the receiving service's policy. The two describe different stages of a payment.

What subscribing means

The RSS feed contains this launch note and newly completed statistical reports. It does not subscribe you to email, require an account or create a daily price prediction. Reports are generated from the archive using a published method.
