- What does the QRL daily blocks chart show?
- It shows how many new blocks were added to the chain each day, drawn as one continuous line spanning the original Proof-of-Work chain and QRL 2.0. A flat line means block production is healthy; dips mean fewer blocks were produced that day.
- Why is a healthy day about 1,440 blocks?
- QRL targets one block roughly every 60 seconds. A full day has 86,400 seconds, so 86,400 ÷ 60 = 1,440 blocks per day when the chain runs smoothly. A line hugging ~1,440 is the sign of stable, on-target production. For scale, Bitcoin produces about 144 blocks a day at its 10-minute target and Ethereum around 7,200 — QRL's one-minute block places it between them.
- How are the Proof-of-Work chain and QRL 2.0 combined into one line?
- Both chains target a ~60-second block time, so their daily block counts are directly comparable. The Proof-of-Work history runs first, then QRL 2.0 (Proof-of-Stake) takes over at the migration, drawn as one continuous timeline. The range buttons window the whole line from the most recent day.
- What does a dip below 1,440 mean?
- Fewer blocks than the daily target. That points to missed or slow blocks — for example a validator outage, network instability, or node downtime. A partial first or last day in the range can also read low simply because it is not a full 24 hours.
- How is this different from daily transactions?
- Daily blocks counts the containers the chain produces on a fixed schedule, so it stays near 1,440 even when the chain is quiet. Daily transactions counts the user activity inside those blocks, which rises and falls with real demand — most QRL blocks carry few or no user transactions.
