Hashrate

Hashrate measures how much computing power
is being used by miners to secure a Proof of Work (PoW) blockchain
like Bitcoin or Litecoin.

Think of it as the speed and strength of the network.
The higher the hashrate, the more machines are competing
to solve cryptographic puzzles and add new blocks.

Why it matters

• A high hashrate means the network is more secure —
  attacks become far more expensive and difficult.
• A low hashrate can signal reduced miner activity,
  often caused by falling prices or rising electricity costs.

How it’s measured

Hashrate is expressed in hashes per second (H/s) —
usually displayed as:

• TH/s (terahashes per second)
• PH/s (petahashes per second)
• EH/s (exahashes per second)

💡 Lanzo Tip

When researching a Proof of Work coin,
check its hashrate trend — a rising hashrate often signals
growing confidence and network health ⚡
