Block
A batch of transactions added to the blockchain.
A block is a bundle of transactions plus a header that links it to the previous block, forming the chain. Producing a valid block is what mining does, and it earns the block reward.
Block times differ by coin: Pearl aims for a new block roughly every 194 seconds, Quantus about every 12 seconds. Each block a pool finds is shared among the miners who contributed to that round.
