The Arbitrum Average Block Time Chart shows the historical average time taken in seconds for a block to be included in the blockchain.
How do arbitrum blocks work?
Arbitrum blocks have their own block numbers, starting at 0 at the Arbitrum genesis block and updating sequentially. ArbOS and the Sequencer are responsible for delineating when one Arbitrum block ends and the next one begins.
How many Ethereum blocks are associated with an arbitrum transaction?
Thus, any given Arbitrum transaction is associated with exactly one Ethereum block and one Arbitrum block. Accessing block numbers within an Arbitrum smart contract (i.e., block.number in Solidity) will return a value close to (but not necessarily exactly) the L1 block number at which the Sequencer received the transaction.
How do I find the arbitrum block number?
The Arbitrum block number can also be retrieved within an Arbitrum contract via ArbSys precompile: L2 block.number: updated to sync with L1 block.number ~ every minute; thus over time, it will, like the L1 block.number, average to ~15 seconds per block.
