# Mining statistics

## Leaderboard

After miners successfully discover their hashes, they need a platform to view their results. The leaderboard serves as this platform, functioning as a database that records and displays the number of blocks mined by each participant. On the leaderboard, several intriguing metrics are available, including the total number of blocks mined, the rate at which blocks are being mined, the current mining difficulty and the list of current miners. Miners are ranked based on the quantity of blocks they have successfully mined. Essentially, the leaderboard acts as a window into the blockchain's mempool and its current state. The mempool organizes transactions, including those that are unconfirmed, allowing them to be visualized and tracked.
