What Is the ‘Target Time’ for Block Creation in Bitcoin?

The target time for block creation in the Bitcoin network is approximately 10 minutes. This is the intended average interval between the discovery of new blocks.

The Proof-of-Work difficulty adjustment mechanism is designed to automatically adjust the puzzle's complexity every 2,016 blocks (roughly every two weeks) to ensure that this 10-minute average block time is maintained, regardless of fluctuations in the network's total hash rate.
