Bitcoin Network Glossary
Recommended Fee (Transaction Fee)

The fee paid to miners when sending Bitcoin. Measured in sat/vB (satoshi/virtual byte), higher fees result in faster transaction processing.

Fast: Next block (~10 min) Normal: Within 3 blocks (~30 min) Slow: Within 6 blocks (~1 hour)
Tip: Fees spike during network congestion. If not urgent, selecting "Slow" can save costs.
Block

A bundle of Bitcoin transactions. A new block is created when a miner solves a mathematical puzzle, approximately every 10 minutes. Each block has a maximum size of about 4MB (including SegWit).

Avg generation: 10 minMax size: ~4MB~144 per day
Difficulty Adjustment

Mining difficulty automatically adjusts every 2,016 blocks (approximately 2 weeks). If block generation is faster than 10 minutes, difficulty increases; if slower, it decreases. This keeps the block generation rate constant.

Cycle: 2,016 blocks (~2 weeks)+ = Difficulty increase- = Difficulty decrease
Tip: A difficulty increase (+) means mining competition is intensifying and network security is strengthening.
Halving

An event where mining rewards are cut in half every 210,000 blocks (approximately 4 years). It is a key mechanism to maintain Bitcoin's maximum supply of 21 million BTC, and historically prices have shown significant increases after halvings.

Cycle: 210,000 blocks (~4 years)Current reward: 3.125 BTCNext: 1.5625 BTC
