Mining and Network Metrics
Interpret blocks, fees, transactions, addresses, security, and proof-of-work mining economics.
Network metrics measure chain operation and activity. Proof-of-work assets can also expose mining economics. Common families include block production, transaction counts, transfer volume, fees, active or new addresses, hash rate, difficulty, miner revenue, issuance, pool concentration, and security budget.

| Network type | Commonly applicable | Commonly not applicable |
|---|---|---|
| Proof-of-work UTXO | Hash rate, difficulty, block rewards, UTXO activity | Staking-specific fields |
| Proof-of-stake account based | Blocks or slots, fees, transfers, addresses | ASIC production cost and hash rate |
| Hosted token | Transfers, holders, supply, entity activity | Native consensus security fields |
An absent metric is not zero. Query status for the selected asset and avoid porting Bitcoin mining assumptions into proof-of-stake or token analysis.
