How to read the Bitcoin Difficulty Adjustment Dashboard
This dashboard tracks progress through the current 2,016-block difficulty epoch and estimates the next retarget from the average block time so far. It is useful for miners and analysts watching hashrate and mining economics.
How to read the result
- Blocks faster than 600 s mean hashrate has risen and difficulty will likely increase.
- The estimate steadies as the epoch nears its end.
- Higher difficulty lowers the BTC earned per unit of hashrate, all else equal.
Limits and cautions
- Early in an epoch, with few blocks, the estimate is noisy.
- Block timestamps are set by miners and can be imprecise.
- The protocol caps each retarget to a fourfold range in either direction.
