Polygon Block Performance

    What is the average time between blocks on Polygon? What was the maximum and minimum recorded time between two blocks? How many transactions are done in a block on average? How do these numbers compare to L1 such as Flow or Solana, or other L2 such as Arbitrum or Optimism?

    Polygon

    Polygon is a “layer two” or “sidechain” scaling solution that runs alongside the Ethereum blockchain — allowing for speedy transactions and low fees. MATIC is the network’s native cryptocurrency, which is used for fees, staking, and more. You can buy or sell MATIC via exchanges like Coinbase. The Ethereum blockchain is home to a vast range of economic activity — from NFT markets and games to the growing DeFi ecosystem. Ethereum is well suited to this activity because it’s compatible with smart contracts, which can be used to build a vast range of applications.

    In the chart, we see the average time between blocks of different blockchains. Polygon has a much lower average time compared to Ethereum and Osmosis. This chart shows that Polygon performs better than other blockchains and Polygon has a better database design than others.

    Polygon: 2.3 sec

    ETH: 13.6 sec

    Osmosis: 6.8 sec

    Avalanche: 2 sec


    In the diagram, we see the maximum time between blocks of different blockchains. Polygon has a much lower maximum time than Ethereum, Arbitrum, Flow, etc. This chart shows that Polygon performs better than other blockchains and Polygon has a better database design than others.

    In the above diagram, we see the minimum time between blocks of different blockchains. Polygon has a higher minimum time than Ethereum.

    In the above diagram, we see the average transactions processed in different blockchains. Solana has processed more transactions than any other blockchain.

    In the above diagram, we see the average number of transactions processed in different blockchains per hour. Solana has processed 4787 transactions in one hour. Meanwhile, Polygan has processed 1603 transactions in one hour.
