Average over 120 consecutive block-header intervals. Header timestamps can move backwards. Heights are shown on the horizontal axis.
Intervals are differences between timestamps recorded in consecutive canonical block headers. They are not measurements of when this explorer received blocks. Header timestamps can move backwards; daily averages use the full time span, so such intervals cancel out.
Each bar is one complete UTC day. Today and the day containing an activation block are left out. Comparison values use the last seven days and, after an upgrade, start no earlier than its activation.
Expected waits multiply the average interval by the number of confirmations. This assumes the next block includes the transaction and that blocks arrive at random. Congestion, fees and wallet sync can add time.
ZIP 315 recommends 3 confirmations for a wallet’s own change and 10 for received funds, with no spending before 3. Wallets choose their own policy. The NU7 comparison assumes unchanged confirmation counts; ZIP 315 does not specify different counts for NU7. These thresholds are wallet policy, not a separate finality event.
Until NU7 is live on mainnet, days from today onward are drawn at the consensus target: 75 seconds until activation, then 25 seconds. The activation date comes from the serving node’s schedule at the current target spacing. Once NU7 activates, measured days replace the projection.
On testnet, where NU7 is active, blocks averaged 25s over the last seven days. The mainnet projection uses the consensus target rather than testnet measurements.
