Block Size

Block Size

The maximum data capacity of a block in a
Blockchain
, typically measured in bytes, which determines the potential number of
Transactions per Block
.

This metric is calculated as the predefined limit set by the blockchain protocol, often adjusted based on network consensus rules (e.g., 1MB for Bitcoin, variable for others).

Example: For a blockchain with a predefined limit of 1 MB (1,048,576 bytes), the Block Size = 1,048,576 bytes.
