What is Monero's current hashrate?

Monero's network hashrate fluctuates around 2.5-3.5 GH/s (gigahashes per second) as of early 2026. This represents millions of CPUs worldwide mining with the RandomX algorithm. Unlike Bitcoin (ASIC-dominated), Monero's hashrate comes from consumer CPUs, making it more decentralized.

What is Monero's total supply?

Monero's main emission curve produced ~18.4 million XMR by June 2022. After that, tail emission began: 0.6 XMR per block forever (~432 XMR/day, ~0.86% annual inflation declining over time). As of March 2026, total supply is approximately 18.96 million XMR. There is no hard cap — tail emission ensures miners are always incentivized.

What is Monero's block time?

Monero targets a 2-minute block time (120 seconds). This means a new block is mined approximately every 2 minutes. Transactions typically confirm in 2-20 minutes (1-10 confirmations). For most purposes, 1 confirmation (~2 minutes) is sufficient.

How many Monero transactions per day?

Monero processes approximately 20,000-40,000 transactions per day as of 2026. This number understates actual usage because Monero's privacy features make each transaction indistinguishable — there's no way to differentiate real transactions from decoys in ring signatures.

What are Monero transaction fees?

Monero's median transaction fee is approximately $0.001-$0.01 USD. Fees are dynamic based on block size (Monero has an adaptive block size, not a fixed limit). Even during high demand, fees rarely exceed $0.05. This makes Monero practical for transactions of any size.

Key Metrics Explained

Metric	Value	Significance
Hashrate	~2.5-3.5 GH/s	Network security. Higher = more expensive to attack.
Supply	~18.96M XMR	Total coins in existence. Growing ~432/day.
Tail emission	0.6 XMR/block	Permanent miner incentive. ~0.86%/yr inflation (declining).
Inflation rate	~0.86%/year	Below gold (~1-2%). Drops every year as supply grows.
Block size	Adaptive	No hard cap. Scales with demand (penalty for oversized blocks).
Median fee	~$0.001	Practical for any transaction size.
Confirmations	10 (standard)	~20 min for full confirmation. 1 conf (~2 min) usually sufficient.
Block time	120 seconds	Faster than Bitcoin (600s), comparable to most altcoins.

What the Stats Mean for You

Miner? 3 GH/s network hashrate means your share determines earnings. Use P2Pool for decentralized mining.

Buyer? ~$0.001 fees and 2-min blocks mean fast, cheap transactions. Buy XMR here.

Holder? 0.86% inflation is below gold. DCA + cold storage for long-term.

Privacy seeker? Ring signatures + stealth addresses = private by default.
