Difficulty epoch

Bitcoin’s self-correcting clock.

Every 2,016 blocks the network measures how long those blocks actually took and adjusts difficulty so the next 2,016 land closer to two weeks. This is that measurement, in progress.

Projections extrapolate the observed block interval across the remaining epoch and are clamped to Bitcoin’s ×4 retarget limit. Early in an epoch they are drawn from very few blocks. Full difficulty detail.

Derived from the current mempool as miners would order it by fee rate. It changes as transactions arrive, confirm or replace themselves.
