Ethereum Block Time
Ethereum produces a block every 12 seconds. Each block maps to a slot in the beacon chain's proof-of-stake consensus, and every 32 slots form an epoch (~6.4 minutes). This page shows the current state and lets you estimate when any block number will arrive.

Understanding Ethereum's clock
Since the merge to proof-of-stake in September 2022, Ethereum has operated on a fixed 12-second slot rhythm. A validator is assigned to each slot to propose a block. Not every slot produces a block (some are missed), but the timing is deterministic.
The beacon chain started at Unix timestamp 1606824023 (December 1, 2020). Slots are numbered sequentially from that genesis, and every 32 slots form an epoch (~6.4 minutes), the unit at which finality and validator shuffling occur.
