Difficulty
Zcash
How hard it is to mine a Zcash block.
Why it matters
It self-adjusts to keep the interval near 75 seconds, so a rise is the **consequence** of new hash power arriving, not its cause.
How it is built
Aggregated per day directly from the chain's own ledger — measured, not estimated or interpolated.
What to watch
It is steadier than a hashrate estimate because it is a number written into the chain itself rather than inferred.
Measured on this chain
