Block Height has several important functions in the blockchain system, including :
- Identifying Block Position : Block height allows users and developers to know the position of a block in the network.
- Tracking Transactions : Each block in the blockchain contains a record of transactions. Block height helps users find specific blocks to track transactions that occur within them.
- Network Validation : Block height is used to ensure that all nodes in a blockchain network have a copy of the same data.
- Network Development Measurement : An increasing block height indicates network activity, including the number of transactions and overall network growth.
