# Robinhood Chain Block time Methodology

## 1. Overview

Block time measures the average time required for a new block to be added to Robinhood Chain. The speed at which the network processes transactions and updates its state is reflected by this metric. It is utilized to assess the latency, throughput, and overall performance of the blockchain infrastructure. Network stability and operational efficiency are monitored over time through the tracking of these block intervals.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Block numbers and block timestamps extracted from block headers, covering Robinhood Chain

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Block data extraction

- **Purpose**: Extract block numbers and timestamps while excluding the genesis block
- **Logic**: Block timestamps and block numbers are extracted from the block records. The genesis block (block number 0) is excluded from the dataset to prevent distortion of the block time calculations.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp` and `block_number`

### Component B: Block interval calculation

- **Purpose**: Calculate the time elapsed between consecutive blocks
- **Logic**: Block records are ordered sequentially by block number. The timestamp of each block is compared to the timestamp of the immediately preceding block, and the difference is calculated in milliseconds to determine the individual block time.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp` and `previous_timestamp`

### Component C: Daily aggregation

- **Purpose**: Calculate the average block time per day
- **Logic**: Individual block intervals are grouped by day based on UTC boundaries. The average block time is calculated for each day by taking the mean of all block intervals recorded within that day.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` and `block_time`
