Blocks Analyzed

How many chain blocks the analysis covered. Sample-size context for the computed metric.

Blocks analyzed is the number of consecutive chain blocks the metric was computed on (e.g. the MEV risk score). It is the blockchain-world equivalent of sample size: the more blocks the analysis covered, the fuller and more reliable the picture of activity, because a single unusual block has less influence on the result. A small number of analyzed blocks means a fresh but narrow slice. The reading can be sensitive to momentary anomalies and may not represent the network's typical state. This parameter is not itself a directional signal; it is meta-information about data quality, read together with the actual metric. Practical takeaway: a high risk score based on a large block sample deserves to be taken more seriously than the same score computed on a handful of blocks, which could just as easily be random noise.

In plain words

Tells you how many blocks the result was computed on. Few blocks = a narrow picture, easy to be a fluke. Many blocks = a more reliable result.

Example

An MEV risk score of 70 computed on 5,000 blocks is a strong cue. The same score from just 50 blocks may be a momentary anomaly worth confirming on a larger sample.
