Intro:

One of the most complete approaches to compare blockchains is analyzing the block performance of networks. Information related to each network is recorded in blocks and blocks are linked together in a chain. This chain forms the blockchain.

In this bounty, the block performance of Polygon is investigated and compared to Flow (as L1) and Arbitrum (as L2) in the following aspects:

• Recorded time between two blocks (average, max and min)
• Number of transactions are done in a block on average

Method:

• Used table-→

  • Polygon network-→

    BLOCK_NUMBER

    from Polygon.core.fact_blocks

  • Flow network-→

    BLOCK_HEIGHT

    from Flow.core.fact_blocks

  • Arbitrum network-→

    BLOCK_NUMBER

    from Arbitrum.core.fact_blocks

• Recorded time-→ Datediff(second,This block,Previous block)
• Number of transactions-→ avg(TX_COUNT)

• After ordering the blocks by recorder time of each block, the time average, max and min time between two blocks are estimated.

Outcomes:

The data related to recorded time between blocks shown in the table. Also the average recorded time between two blocks shown in the plot. The transactions are done in the block on average shown in the bar chart.

The summary of results are:

• The average recorded time between two blocks on Polygon is larger than Flow and Arbitrum.
• The number of transactions done in the block for Polygon is 74.84 on average and its larger than transactions done in the block for Flow and Arbitrum.
• The minimum recorded time between blocks on Polygon is 2 seconds and the maximum amount is 254 seconds.
• The maximum recorded time between block for polygon is smaller than Flow and Arbitrum.
