Published November 8, 2026 · Updated November 15, 2026 · Data through November 14, 2026 (UTC) · Updated every week until the month is complete.

Summary

• Kadena carried an average of 39,193 transactions a day from November 1 to November 14, up 594% from October (5,651 a day).
• Mining hashrate averaged 16.7 PH/s from November 1 to November 14, about the same as October (16.7 PH/s).
• All 20 chains kept producing blocks: about 57,569 blocks a day, an average of 30.0 seconds per block on each chain against the 30-second target.

Transactions per day

Non-coinbase transactions included in canonical blocks on all 20 chains, per UTC day, Nov 1–14. Tap or hover a bar for the exact value.

Busiest day in November: November 14 (464,699). Quietest: November 4 (4,528).

Mining hashrate

Daily average hashrate in petahashes per second (PH/s), from the difficulty of every canonical block that day.

Where transactions happen

Transactions per chain from November 1 to November 14. Activity is uneven: a few chains host the busiest contracts.

Blocks and block time

Each chain targets one block every 30 seconds, which is 57,600 blocks a day across 20 chains. In November so far the network produced 57,569 canonical blocks a day on average, so blocks arrived every 30.0 seconds per chain. October averaged 57,527 a day.

Nodes

The public node crawler found 40 active nodes in 12 countries in its last scan (November 15, 2026), including the Kadena Nexus node in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Nodes are placed by IP location, so the count covers public nodes only.

Adoption Index

The Kadena Community Edition Adoption Index combines five weighted signals (active addresses, new contracts, value locked, hashrate and developer commits) into one daily number against a summer 2026 baseline of 50. Its reading for November 14, 2026 was 55. How each input is measured is published in the methodology.

Supply

KDA in circulation was 379.9 million when this report was last updated, according to the indexer's network summary. The maximum supply is 1 billion KDA, most of it paid to miners over time.

Data and method

• Source: the public Chainweb GraphQL indexer (graphql.chaddex.com), queried block by block in 50-block windows on every chain. Each UTC day starts at the first block created at or after 00:00 UTC. New days are added every week.
• Transactions count non-coinbase transactions in canonical blocks; orphaned blocks are excluded.
• Recorder calls are transactions whose code calls free.block-history.attest, found by reading the code of every transaction in every block. Other transactions are the total minus recorder calls.
• Hashrate is the sum of each canonical block's difficulty over the day, divided by 86,400 seconds.
• Nodes come from the public node crawler (nodes.denascan.com); Adoption Index from adoption.kadena.ws; supply from the indexer's network summary. These are read when the page is updated.
• Figures are Kadena Nexus measurements from public data, not official statistics. Please cite "Kadena Nexus, Kadena network report: November 2026".
