Question:

What is the average time between blocks on Polygon?

\n 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?

Methods:

For each network we checked the block table of it.

To get the time till next block creation we added row number to the first table and made the second table with row number +1 , so we got access to the current and next block timestamp.

Then got our average, minimum and maximum time in milliseconds between them.

For transactions in blocks we averaged tx_count of each block.

Conclusion:

Polygon have 2 seconds minimum for block time which is not comparable to other two networks.

Polygon also have double block time in average in compare.

Maximum block time is better for polygon and about 254 seconds in compare to Flow having 23400 seconds and Arbitrum 52800 seconds.

Polygon also has more transactions per block.

As result polygon has 6 time bigger blocks in compare to Flow and 64 times bigger than Arbitrum, in this condition having average block time that is not more than twice them is a great result.

In the column below we have min, average and max block time for Arbitrum network as L2 network to compare to Polygon network.

At the last row we have transactions done in each block of this network.

In the column below we have min, average and max block time for Polygon network to compare between Arbitrum network and Flow network.

At the last row we have transactions done in each block of this network.

In the column below we have min, average and max block time for Flow network as L1 network to compare to Polygon network.

At the last row we have transactions done in each block of this network.
