Description
Overview
This chart displays Kaspa's mining difficulty over time. Mining difficulty is the difficulty of the problem miners must solve to mine a block. This metric is also commonly referred to as "Kaspa difficulty" or "Kaspa network difficulty".
Mining difficulty is adjusted over time to ensure desired block rates. Kaspa's Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm handles this adjustment:
Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm — a moving window based algorithm that takes care of Kaspa mining difficulty adjustment to ensure the average blockrate is what is should be. Window width is 2641 blocks (blue ones + those of red ones that fit inside the window, counting backward from the virtual's perspective).
