Question

• What is the average time between blocks on Polygon?
• What was the maximum and minimum recorded time between two blocks?
• How many transactions are done in a block on average? How do these numbers compare to L1 such as Flow or Solana, or other L2 such as Arbitrum or Optimism?

Introduction

In this dashboard, we will be comparing the Polygon Block Performance with L1 like Flow. To begin, we will look at the average, minimum and maximum time between two blocks on Polygon vs Flow. Next, we will examine the average transactions done in a block.

• The graphs above shows the average, minimum and maximum time between two blocks on Polygon vs Flow.
• The average time between two blocks on Polygon is 2.24 seconds and Flow have an average time of 1.43 seconds. This suggests that Flow have a faster performance than Polygon on Average.
• Furthermore, the minimum time between two blocks on Polygon is 2 seconds and the minimum time for Flow is 0 second.
• However, the maximum time between two blocks on Polygon is only 25 seconds, whereas the maximum time for Flow is 90 seconds.

• The graph on the left shows the average transactions done in a block.
• As can be seen, despite the fact that Polygon had a lower average and minimum time between two blocks than Flow, we can see that the average transactions done in a block on Polygon is significantly higher than Flow.
• The average transactions done in a block on Polygon is 75.7 transactions. On the other hand, Flow had around 13.01 transactions done in a block.

Conclusion

1. The average and minimum time between blocks on Polygon is higher when in comparison with Flow.
2. However, the maximum time between blocks on Flow is higher than Polygon.
3. Moreover, the average transaction done in a block on Polygon is significantly higher than Flow.
