Method
- Cumulative work is total difficulty, the sum of every block's difficulty, the measure the protocol uses to pick the heaviest chain.
- ETH's proof-of-work ended at block 15,537,393 with
58,750,003,716,598,352,816,469. ETH nodes no longer servetotalDifficulty, so its history is read from the ETHPoW node, whose chain is identical up to that block (sampled hashes cross-checked). - Live data from
etc.etcdesktop.com,0xrpc.io/etcandmainnet.ethereumpow.org. Starting hashrate is the 30-day average. - The projection integrates hashrate over time with annual growth compounded continuously, times the multiplier of each event switched on. Emission cuts follow ECIP-1017, 20% less block reward every 5,000,000 blocks. Global events (power, ASICs, bans, war) hit ETHPoW too.
- A scenario, not a forecast. Shrinking faster than about 13% a year and V-day never comes. The last twelve months have been shrinking.
