Median block interval

What is "Median block interval"?

The median time in seconds between consecutive blocks, defined as the central value of the interval distribution over the selected period.

Why is "Median block interval" important?

The median interval reflects typical block production time while removing the influence of extremely long or short intervals. Unlike the mean, the median is less sensitive to outliers and provides a more accurate view of normal network behavior and expected transaction confirmation time.

How is "Median block interval" calculated?

The median interval is determined by ordering all inter-block time intervals over the period and selecting the central value of the distribution.
