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?

Introductions :

> ### A block is a place in a blockchain where information is stored and encrypted. Blocks are identified by long numbers that include encrypted transaction information from previous blocks and new transaction information. Blocks and the information within them must be verified by a network before new blocks can be created. > > ### Block time is the measure of the time it takes the miners or validators within a network to verify transactions within one block and produce a new block in that blockchain.

Metods :

> ### First i create a CTE and selected all blocks and their time from block table and ranked them by their block number and after that i created another CTE and again selected all blocks and their time except first block and then ranked them by block number and then i used this two CTE and calculate time between blocks with this code CAST(DATEDIFF(SECOND, TIME1, TIME2)

Let compare block time and block performance between this five blockchain

Average block time of polygon is lower than other layer 2s but it is a bit more than layer 1s

Minimum block time for polygon is 2 second and its very close to its average

Maximum block time for polygon is 25 second and it is lowest between this five blockchain and i think it show us health of this blockchain

Conclusion :

Average , minimum and maximum block time for Polygon are 2.24 , 2 and 25 second and average , minimum and maximum transactions per block for Polygon are 74.8 , 0 and 1332 transaction and you can see this informations for other four blockchain in above and compare them with Polygon

Average transactions per block is very low in other L2s but in polygon is about 75 transaction per block

Except for Optimism, minimum transaction per block for other four blockchain is zero

1332 transactions in one block is maximum of polygon and it is a good record
