EthereumPoW Difficulty Chart
at block 24,776,598
The EthereumPoW difficulty chart plots historical difficulty retargets and the current ETHW difficulty target. Higher difficulty means more hashes are required to find the next block.
EthereumPoW difficulty change
Percent move in network difficulty versus prior windows.
EthereumPoW difficulty history
Daily network difficulty for the last 37 days (UTC). Compact values use SI suffixes (T = trillion); day change compares consecutive calendar days.

What is EthereumPoW difficulty?
EthereumPoW mining difficulty measures how hard it is to find the next valid block hash. The network retargets difficulty every 2,016 blocks (~two weeks) to keep average block times near 13 seconds.
When more hashrate joins the network, difficulty rises so blocks are not found too quickly. When miners leave, difficulty falls. Use our ETHW mining calculator to see how difficulty and price affect your daily profit.
