Merge Mainnet
![]() | An impartial editor has reviewed the proposed edit(s) and asked the editor with a conflict of interest to go ahead and make the suggested changes. |
No strong COI here, but proposing to merge the now redirected Mainnet as per Talk:Mainnet, and similar to the recent merge of Testnet. / Urbourbo (talk) 12:40, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

NFT
The only discussion of NFTs is in the context of electronic game content (skins, pets, ...). I know for a fact that NFTs are being used for other things AND they are clearly a "use" of blockchains. Not having a separate section on them is ludicrous. ~2026-92463-4 (talk) 06:57, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

- The ledger size had exceeded 200 GB by early 2020.
Add after the 200 GB sentence:
- By 2024, the Bitcoin blockchain exceeded 600 GB.
Cite blockchain.com/charts/blocks-size. Edit summary: "Update blockchain size with current data" Crypto odie (talk) 03:00, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
Partly done: blockchain.com is not a reliable source, so it should not have been cited here. Routine charts are probably not going to work, since any particular time period is going to be arbitrary. A reliable, independent source should be cited for this. Grayfell (talk) 03:54, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
