Projected halving date
dateThe date the next halving is expected, from the blocks left and the median block time of the last 30 days.
Median block interval
secondsThe median interval between blocks on the latest complete UTC day.
Hashrate and difficulty by day
TH/sImplied hashrate and difficulty each day over the selected period, with each difficulty retarget marked.
MWEB and usage

About
What it answers, and for whom.
Litecoin is a proof-of-work chain with two-and-a-half-minute blocks, a capped supply whose block subsidy halves about every four years and an optional privacy layer called MWEB. This dashboard reads every block to show the hashrate securing it, the countdown to the next halving with its projected date and the LTC held inside MWEB and moving in and out, along with the transactions and fees on the main chain.
MWEB keeps amounts private, but each block records the total LTC inside it, so the balance and the daily peg-ins and peg-outs can be read exactly. Litecoin is also the parent chain for Dogecoin's merged mining, which ties the two chains' hashrates together. Every figure carries a receipt with the block height and hash.
Method
How it will be measured.
Every figure will be read at a block, kept with its source and its exact read, and open a receipt anyone can re-check.
How receipts work →- Hashrate is implied from each day's difficulty and block intervals, read from block headers as for Bitcoin; it is an estimate of work, not a count of miners.
- Blocks to the halving count down to the next height at which the block subsidy halves, and the projected date assumes the median block time of the last 30 days.
- The MWEB balance is the value of the first output of each block's integrating transaction, which holds every LTC inside MWEB; daily peg-ins and peg-outs are the movements that balance records.
- Transactions and fees are read from the main chain, with MWEB kernel fees added; MWEB hides amounts and addresses, so only its kernel count and the balance moving in and out are shown, and every figure carries a receipt.
The data it needs
Read from chain state and history
- chain_activity_dailyTo buildChain activity by dayTransactions, active sending addresses, new addresses, contracts created and gas used on each chain per day, counted from blocks and transactions.
- chain_fees_dailyTo buildFees and gas by chainFees paid per chain per day in the native token: base fee and priority fee percentiles, total fees, and the share burned where the chain burns fees.
- privacy_pools_dailyTo buildPrivacy protocolsDeposits into and withdrawals from privacy pools and shielded pools per protocol and day, and shielded supply where measurable.
- Litecoin block headers: timestamp and bits, for difficulty, block intervals and implied hashrate
- Coinbase transactions: subsidy and fees per block, for issuance and the halving schedule
- The integrating transaction at the end of each block, whose first output holds the MWEB balance, and the block's MWEB peg-ins, peg-outs and kernels
- Main-chain transactions: inputs, outputs and fees
Questions
Questions people ask.
When is the next Litecoin halving?
Litecoin's block subsidy halves at fixed block heights, roughly every four years, and the next halving falls in 2027. The dashboard counts the blocks left and projects the date from recent block times, so the estimate moves a little as hashrate changes.
What is MWEB?
MimbleWimble Extension Blocks, an optional layer activated in 2022 that lets LTC move with confidential amounts. Coins enter MWEB by a peg-in and leave by a peg-out, both visible on the main chain, and the total held inside is recorded in every block, so its size is public while individual balances are not.
Is Litecoin merged-mined with Dogecoin?
Yes. Miners work on Litecoin and submit the same work to Dogecoin, earning on both chains. Litecoin is the parent chain, so its blocks are mined as usual; the combined reward is part of why the two chains' hashrates move together.
How long are Litecoin blocks?
Litecoin targets one block every two and a half minutes and retargets difficulty every few days to hold that pace. The dashboard measures the median interval each day, which runs shorter than target while hashrate is rising and longer while it falls.
Does Litecoin have a supply cap?
Yes. Each halving shrinks the subsidy until issuance ends, so total supply approaches a fixed maximum set at launch. The halving page counts down to the next cut, and the issuance in each block is read from its coinbase.
- MWEB
- MimbleWimble Extension Blocks, Litecoin's optional confidential layer, whose amounts are hidden while its total balance is public.
- Peg-in
- A main-chain transaction that moves LTC into MWEB; a peg-out moves it back to an ordinary address.
- Integrating transaction
- The transaction at the end of each Litecoin block, also called HogEx, whose first output holds all LTC inside MWEB.
- Halving
- The fixed block height at which Litecoin's block subsidy is cut in half.
