Top 100 BSV Blocks by Transaction Count

Key Observations

1. Consistent Multi-Million Transaction Capability

• 100% of top blocks exceed 2.7 million transactions
• 57% exceed 3 million transactions
• 18% exceed 4 million transactions
• 3% exceed 5 million transactions
• Highest observed: 7,126,502 transactions in a single mainnet block (#804142).

2. Transaction Fee Economics

• Fee range: 0.00000001 to 0.00000028 BSV

• Typical fee: 0.00000001 BSV (68% of blocks)
• Average fee (unweighted): 0.000000053 BSV
• Average fee (weighted): 0.000000065 BSV
• At BSV price of $20 USD: $0.0000002 to $0.0000056 per transaction
• Weighted average cost per transaction: $0.0000013

* USD equivalents assume BSV = $20 at time of calculation (Dec. 13, 2025)

3. Diverse Mining Ecosystem

Block production is distributed among multiple independent mining entities:

• taal.com: 38 blocks (38%)
• qdlnk: 43 blocks (43%)
• CUVVE: 13 blocks (13%)
• SA100: 4 blocks (4%)
• GorillaPool.com: 2 blocks (2%)

Multiple independent mining operations indicate active multi-party mining landscape.
Note: Hash rate and difficulty data for these blocks available via public explorers but not included in this baseline report.

4. Sustained Performance Over Time

• Earliest block: September 5, 2022 (Block #755885)
• Latest block: May 4, 2025 (Block #895347)
• Duration: 2 years, 8 months of sustained multi-million transaction capacity
• Consistency: Across the 2.5-year period, high-capacity blocks occur regularly
• Uptime: No observed interruptions in block production appear in the dataset during this period.
• Block Intervals: Assumed standard 10-minute target; actual intervals verifiable via timestamps.

5. Block Size Efficiency

Transaction density varies significantly:

• Most efficient: Block #814864 – 4,757,149 transactions in 840.8 MB (5,656 tx/MB)
• Physically largest block: Block #755880 – 2,867,288 transactions in 2.30 GB (1,247 tx/MB)
• Average: ~4,080 transactions per MB

Key insight: High transaction counts don’t necessarily require massive blocks. High density transaction encoding enables variable scaling based on transaction types.

6. Geographic and Temporal Distribution

Peak activity periods:

• August 2023: 13 blocks (Block #804xxx series)
• October 2023: 27 blocks (Block #814xxx-815xxx series)
• May 2025: 10 blocks (Block #894xxx-895xxx series)

Shows sustained capability across multiple time periods and infrastructure generations.

7. What counts as a transaction on BSV Blockchain

On the BSV blockchain, a “transaction” is any valid UTXO-based operation recorded on-chain, including:

• Simple value transfers (peer-to-peer payments)
• Data transactions (OP_RETURN payloads, documents, media files)
• Smart contract operations (token transfers, script executions)
• Metadata anchoring (proof-of-existence, timestamping)
• 1-satoshi ordinals (NFT-style inscriptions)
• Application envelopes (structured data for dApps)

Fee Analysis

Transaction Fee Distribution (BSV)

Observation: 68% of blocks maintain minimum fee of 0.00000001 BSV, reflecting economic sustained execution of high-volume, low-fee transactions.
* USD equivalents assume BSV = $20 at time of calculation (Dec. 13, 2025)
