Average Block Size

Mean block size each day, in bytes.

ZECSCOPE
▍How it is computed

Total bytes of all blocks that day ÷ blocks that day. Read from each block on the node.

▍How to read it

Zcash blocks are far below their size limit, so this tracks demand, not congestion. Shielded transactions are larger, so the average rises as private usage grows.
