What Metric Is Used to Measure the Total Computing Power of the Network?

The total computing power is measured by the network 'hashrate'. Hashrate is the number of hash calculations the network performs per second, typically measured in units like Terahashes per second (TH/s) or Exahashes per second (EH/s).

A higher hashrate indicates a more secure and decentralized network.
