What is Hash Rate?

The total combined computational power being used to mine and process transactions on a blockchain. The unparalleled hash rate of the Bitcoin network ensures that Lygos Finance DLCs remain completely immutable, protecting millions of dollars in loan collateral against any network attacks.

Full Definition

Hash rate measures the speed at which miners are solving cryptographic puzzles to validate blocks. A higher hash rate indicates a more secure and robust network, as it would require immense capital and energy to execute a 51% attack. Bitcoin consistently boasts the highest hash rate of any computing network in human history.
