This graph shows daily distributions of how long an F3 instance took to finalize. We measure the time from the first QUALITY message of round 0 that our Hermes GossipSub node sees, to the DECIDE message that brings the DECIDE votes to at least 2/3 of the power in the F3 power table. Only instances that reached this quorum are counted, on the day that they started.
Each day shows a bar consisting of the minimum, median, P90 (90th percentile) and maximum time the F3 instances took to finalize across instances in that particular day.
For example, a P50 (median) value of 2 minutes means that 50% of finalized F3 instances during that day took two minutes or less to finalize. When you hover over a bar, you'll also see the total number of instances that were considered in the calculation for that day. If the time range includes 2026-03-08, an outlier day, the y-axis has a break.
