block

Also: blocks, the chain

A batch of transactions added to Bitcoin's chain in one step. block.space's data-types reference gives a block's size as an 80-byte header, a count of its transactions, and the sum of their sizes. Consensus caps a block at 4,000,000 weight units. The chain is every block from the genesis block forward.
