Bitcoin network hashrate
Loading current Bitcoin data
Connecting to live sources…An estimate of the Bitcoin network's recent computational work rate, shown in exahashes per second.
What it means
Hashrate estimates how many SHA-256 hashes Bitcoin miners collectively attempt each second. One EH/s equals one quintillion hashes per second.
Why it matters
Hashrate is a broad indicator of mining participation and the computing power securing Bitcoin's proof-of-work chain.
Higher estimated hashrate means more computing power is participating, all else equal, and usually increases mining competition.
Lower estimated hashrate means less computing power appears active. Short-term estimates can fluctuate because blocks arrive randomly.
Source & methodology
mempool.space mining data. BitcoinNeon uses the latest average hashrate value in mempool.space's one-month mining dataset and converts hashes per second to EH/s.
