Hash Rate
Protocol
Aggregate computational power securing a PoW network.
Hash rate measures how many hashes miners compute per second. More hash power makes attacks more costly and usually reflects stronger miner participation.
Frequently asked questions
Why does hash rate matter?
Higher hash rate raises the cost of attacks and shows miner participation. It is one signal of network security in PoW systems.What affects hash rate?
Miner incentives, hardware efficiency, energy costs, and price. When rewards fall, some miners may shut down.Where can I track it?
Use explorers and mining dashboards for your chain. Compare trends over weeks, not just daily noise.
