Dash Difficulty Chart

The Dash difficulty chart provides the current Dash difficulty (DASH diff) target as well as a historical data graph visualizing Dash mining difficulty chart values with DASH difficulty adjustments (both increases and decreases) defaulted to today with timeline options of 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and all time.

The Dash difficulty adjustment levels are calculated using the daily difficulty average data points in the Dash difficulty graph.

What is Dash difficulty?

Dash mining difficulty determines how difficult it will be to mine the next block and this is why it is referred to as the difficulty of Dash mining.

Dash difficulty is a measure of how many hashes (statistically) must be generated to find a valid solution to solve the next Dash block and earn the mining reward.

As you can see in the Dash difficulty chart above, the Dash Difficulty makes adjustments often.

Furthermore, the mining difficulty also keeps the block generation in line with the set block time, or the amount of time that should statistically pass between each block.

As more hashing power is added to the Dash mining network, the difficulty must increase to ensure blocks are not being generated too quickly.

In order for the blocks to be generated consistently, the difficulty must be increased or decreased, this is called a difficulty re-target.

On a difficulty re-target block (every block or every number of blocks), the difficulty is increased if the previous blocks where generated faster than the specified block time and decreased if the previous blocks where generated slower than the specified block time.

All that said, given a constant hashrate, when the DASH mining difficulty increases you earn less mining rewards due to the overall increase in the total Dash network hashrate.

Given, the frequent changes in Dash difficulty adjustments up and down, use our DASH mining calculator with difficulty to calculate Dash mining profits.
