# Consensus Round

Each Ontology consensus round contains **60,000 blocks**. Ontology blocks, which contain data of transactions, are generated one by one and time intervals are **1-30 seconds**. When there are new transactions, a new block will be generated in 1 second. When there isn't any new transactions, an empty new block will be generated in 30 seconds.

Therefore, Ontology consensus rounds vary from about **17 hours** to 500 hours, which is about **21 days**.
