Latest Block

A block is like a page of a record book. A block represents the ‘present’ and contains information about its past and future. Each time a block is completed it becomes part of the past and gives way to a new block in the blockchain. The completed block is a permanent record of transactions in the past and the new transactions are recorded in the current one.

As illustrated in the gadget above, the Latest Block shows the Last Block, the Hash rate, the Transactions and the Network Difficulty.
