How the Target section of Ethereum is calculated of a block heading
The heading structure of the blocking of Ethereum plays a crucial role in its scalability and safety. At the center of this structure is the target section, which determines the maximum quantity of ether which can be extracted within a certain block. In this article, we will deepen the way Ethereum calculates the target section of a blockage.
Target calculation based on difficulty
The target section of an Ethereum blockage is calculated using a mathematical formula based on the current level of difficulty. The level of difficulty refers to the number of computational attempts necessary to resolve the puzzle of the next block. Here is a step-by-step explanation:
- Current difficulty : The current difficulty value is obtained from the object `
eth_block_header.blockheader.doffeulty ', which is recovered using the object' ete_block_header.
- Calculation of the Target interval: the calculation of the target interval provides two factors: the maximum permitted rate and the number of GPU cards available (also known as "miners"). The formula used to calculate the destination interval is:
target_range = max_hash_rate * Num_miners
WhereMax_Hash_rate represents the maximum permitted hash speed, which is currently set to 50,000 Th/s. The number of miners is also recovered from the field `eth_block_header.blockheader.
3 This is done by multiplying the destination interval with the number of GPU cards available:
target = max_hash_rate * num_miners
`
Adjustment of the target section
As the difficulty level changes, the target section of an Ethereum blockage is adjusted accordingly to maintain a balance between extraction and scalability speed. When the level of difficulty increases, more complex enigmas are needed to resolve the puzzle of the next block, leading to a higher hash rate. To compensate for this increase in difficulty, the algorithm regulates the target section of the blocking of the block by reducing it.
On the contrary, when the level of difficulty decreases, less computational power is needed to resolve the puzzle of the next block and the target section can be increased accordingly. This adjustment guarantees that the Ethereum network remains scalable while maintaining a balance between mining and safety rate.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the target section of an Ethereum blockage is calculated using a mathematical formula based on the current level of difficulty and the number of GPU cards available (miners). By adjusting this value to maintain a balance between extraction and scalability speed, the Ethereum algorithm guarantees that the network remains scalable while maintaining a high level of safety. As the level of difficulty continues to climb or descend, the target section will also be adjusted accordingly to ensure optimal performance.
