How it works
How we project the date
Bitcoin reduces its block reward by 50% every 210,000 blocks (~4 years). We project the next halving by assuming a 10-minute average block time from the last confirmed halving block. Actual timing varies with real-world hashrate.
blocksRemaining = NEXT_BLOCK − currentBlock secondsLeft = blocksRemaining × 600 nextDate = now + secondsLeft
FAQ
Halving — Frequently asked questions
Every 210,000 blocks (~4 years) the block reward paid to Bitcoin miners is cut in half. This permanently reduces the rate at which new BTC enters circulation.
