The total computational power directed at mining a proof-of-work blockchain, measured in hashes per second. Bitcoin’s current hash rate is ~655 exahashes per second (655 EH/s). Higher hash rate means higher security: an attacker would need to outspend the entire network in compute. Hash rate is a leading indicator of miner commitment.
