Bitcoin (BTC) Network Hits Record Hashrate
This milestone highlights the increased security of the world's first large-scale blockchain network.
On October 21, Bitcoin ‘s network hashrate – which measures the total computing power used to protect the blockchain – reached a new all-time high of 769.82 exahash per second (EH/s).
