Want to understand the differences in block generation speeds among various PoW coins? This data comparison will give you a clear picture.

Based on actual operating parameters, the block times for these proof-of-work coins are ranked as follows: KAS leads with 100 milliseconds, making it extremely fast; QUBIC follows closely at 1.5 seconds; XEL and QUAI are both in the 5-second range; TAO at 12 seconds, ETC at 13 seconds; DGB remains stable at 15 seconds; RVN and DOGE both operate on a 1-minute cycle; finally, ZEC takes 1 minute and 15 seconds.

Shorter block times mean faster transaction confirmation, but also require stronger network synchronization capabilities. This list reflects the different trade-offs between performance and security across various PoW chains. If you're researching the technical characteristics of different PoW mechanisms, this data is worth keeping for reference.

KAS-1,22%

QUBIC-0,2%

QUAI2,24%

TAO-2,32%

Is KAS really that fast? Will 100 milliseconds be too aggressive?

KAS's speed is indeed outstanding, but can 100 milliseconds really be stable with such high network pressure? We're used to the Dogecoin track; if it's slow, it's slow, anyway there's no rush. ZEC is surprisingly the slowest; privacy coins are still so lagging? ETC and TAO are similar, but if you had to choose, which one would you pick? KAS and QUBIC both seem to be newer, just performance stacking. Is a faster block truly better? I don't think so. Keep this data for future mining reference.

Kas's 100ms is really impressive. That's why I've been optimistic about it all along. Wait, doge is actually as fast as raven? I thought Dogecoin was really slow before. ETC and TAO are only a second apart? Seems like there's still a lot of room for optimization on ETH. ZEC is at the bottom, no wonder the trading experience is average. These data are worth saving; they'll make it much easier to choose coins in the future.

KAS, these 100 milliseconds are really outrageous. How strong does the network have to be to handle that?

kas at 100ms? nah, that's asking for trouble tbh

KAS's speed is incredible, 100 milliseconds... a bit crazy, but does this really guarantee safety? --- DOGE is still one minute, hilarious, an old-school coin --- Is ZEC the slowest? I thought privacy coins should be faster --- Now I understand, speed isn't always good; it depends on whether the network can keep up --- Saved it for future reference when choosing coins --- KAS is accelerating wildly, but it seems risky too... who dares to mine? --- Wait, ETC is actually slower than TAO? That's a bit surprising --- DGB stabilizing at around 15 seconds is interesting, somewhere between fast and slow --- Faster blocks mean faster transactions, but does that also make hacking more difficult? --- These data might be a bit outdated; actual operating parameters are always changing --- No wonder DOGE is so stable... it's slow, but I feel more at ease --- Is KAS really just about being "fast" to dominate the world? What about performance stability? --- Now the differences are clear; it's definitely worth referencing

Kas this speed is really outrageous, 100 milliseconds is almost instant --- Doge is still playing at a one-minute pace, this coin is a bit laid-back --- So KAS is 130 times faster than ETC? That gap is incredible --- The faster the block, the greater the network pressure. Basically, it's playing with fire --- Wait, ZEC is actually the slowest. I thought as a privacy coin it should be faster --- Qubic's 1.5 seconds sounds a bit surreal. Can it really stay stable? --- I just want to know how much worse the trading experience is for these coins. What are the theoretical data good for? --- ETC is actually ranked so low; Ethereum's shadow is really big --- Kas's 100 milliseconds, how terrifying is that TPS --- It feels like besides Kas, everything else is similar. Is it really necessary to differentiate so finely?
