# block template

URL: https://blockspace.wiki/glossary/block-template/

The block a node would hand a miner now: the transactions it would include and the block's structure, which the miner may customise before hashing. BIP 22 defines it as the JSON-RPC method `getblocktemplate`. space.market reads the median fee rate of its node's template as one price of a kilobyte in the next block.
