# Block Detail
The block details screen includes the block number, timestamp, miner's address, list of transactions, gas used , gas limit, block hash and parent hash.
**Block Number:** The block number is ***458329***, which indicates its position in the blockchain. Blocks are created sequentially, and this number helps track the order of transactions and network activity.
**Current Depth:** The depth of this block is **11,** meaning it is the most recent block. In blockchain, depth represents how many blocks have been built on top of this one. A depth of zero means no newer blocks have been added after it yet.
**Base Fee:** The base fee for this block is ***0.00000000007531912 BDAG***. The base fee is a mandatory transaction fee set by the network, dynamically adjusting based on network congestion. This fee is burned, preventing excessive inflation of the token supply.
**Block Hash:** The block hash is a unique identifier for this block `0xf8b03ffc25fff0e4f139b2e3ae758fd2dd998fa4664aeb094456785642422649`. It is generated through cryptographic hashing and ensures the integrity of the block’s data.
**Age:** This block was created ***23 hours ago**,* at ***2025-03-10 15:30:45***. The timestamp helps in tracking network activity and is useful for analyzing block production time.
**Size:** The block size is ***5476 byte*****s**, which represents the total amount of data stored in this block, including transactions, metadata, and other required information.
**Gas Used:** This block consumed ***941,489 gas***, which is ***3.14%*** of the total available gas limit. Gas is a measure of the computational work needed to process transactions and smart contracts in this block.
**Gas Limit:** The gas limit for this block is ***30,000,000***. This is the maximum amount of gas that can be used by all transactions within this block. It ensures the network remains efficient and prevents any single block from consuming excessive computational resources.
**Parent Hash:** The parent hash is\
`0x2ad10bc9b565312166545337746c140b43a6458018bfff9d3d06a94cd3dd5cce`.\
It links this block to its predecessor, maintaining the chain’s continuity. This ensures that blocks are cryptographically connected, making it impossible to alter past transactions without invalidating the entire chain.
**Receipts Root:** The receipts root is `0x1e5ac1a1f49bdcbf6f483268bbcc17107cb65b44a69206c6ecd2ca893103f1b0`.\
This is a Merkle root hash that summarizes all transaction receipts within this block. Transaction receipts contain execution results, gas usage, logs, and other important transaction metadata.
