    Methodology

    • This dashboard is was created using the “fact_blocks” table from the databases of Polygon, L1s (Solana, Ethereum and Flow) and L2s (Optimism, Gnosis and Arbitrum).
    • The blocktime (in seconds) for each block was calculated as the difference between the time stamps of 2 consecutive blocks.
    • Maximum, minimum and average was found by running SQL functions on the extracted data.

    Observations

    • Ethereum has the highest average blocktime, as very well known fact. The popularity of the L1s and L2s have relatively much lower blocktime, justifying their place in market.
    • Solana has the highest number of transactions in a block by a landslide. Solana also has the highest TPS in the pack.
    • The minimum blocktime for Optimism, Solana and Arbitrum is shown as 0, however would be a finite time period (unfortunately the data base doesnt have millisecond level data).

    Note: The below table also has a second page. Incase any of the visualisation doesnt open, please proceed to the SQL query.
