A block is the unit of a blockchain that bundles a set of transactions, and validators create one at regular intervals to add those transactions to the chain.

A block is the unit of a blockchain that bundles a set of transactions, and validators create one at regular intervals to add those transactions to the chain.

gasLimit caps the total computation per block: the sum of the gas of all its transactions cannot exceed it.

blockPeriodSeconds controls the creation interval, producing even empty blocks if so configured (Clique).

When the gas limit is filled, the remaining transactions wait in the mempool for the next block.
