Definition · How it works

Qu’est-ce que Block height ?

The number of blocks in the chain before the current one, counting the genesis block as zero. It is the network's canonical clock.

Height is exact and objective in a way wall-clock time is not. Bitcoin schedules things by height rather than by date: difficulty retargets every 2,016 blocks, the subsidy halves every 210,000.

This is why our halving countdown reports blocks remaining as the primary figure and the calendar date as a derived estimate. The block count is a fact; the date depends on how quickly blocks happen to arrive.
