Overview

In this dashboard, I will answer this questions:

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?

Method

To find this informations i used the polygon.core.fact_blocks table to find time defference between blocks in polygon blockchain and use polygon.core.fact_transactions table to find tx_count and average tx per block And I also took the total values requested for the Solana blockchain from solana.core.fact_blocks Table

And to compare their statistics, after calculating the number of transactions and the number of blocks and the average number of transactions per block, I divided Solana's statistics by Polygon to understand the ratio between them.

Chart & Analysis

All data is related to 06-06-2022 onwards

In this dashboard, we will examine the difference in block production speed and transaction speed in two blockchains, polygon and Solana.

First, we will check Polygan:

● Between 35 and 40 thousand blocks are produced daily in Polygon

● And the average daily transaction in each block is between 55 and 85 transactions

● The lowest block generation time difference is 2 seconds and the highest is 25 seconds

● And the average block production is between 2 and 2.5 seconds

More complete details are given in the charts below👇

Now let's check Solana's stats:

● The average block production speed in Solana is very high(So that the smallest time difference between the production of blocks is less than one second (ie, in milliseconds)).

● In addition to the high speed of block production in Solana, the number of transactions in each block is also much higher(The number of transactions per block in Solana is 27 times higher than Polygan)

●The average block production time is recorded between 0.6 and 0.7 seconds

Conclusion

Below we have the speed difference ratio in Solana to Polygon:

● The number of transactions per block of Solana is 27 times more than Polygon

● And the number of transactions in Solana is 82 times more 😯

● And the average block production speed in Solana is 3.25 times faster

In the three graphs below, we examine these two blockchains in terms of transaction speed per second, block production speed, and average transaction per hour, in the time category (hourly).
