A '''terahash''' is a multiple of [[cryptographic hash function]] iterations for [[proof-of-work system]]s. The [[SI prefix|prefix]] ''[[tera-|tera]]'' means 10<sup>12</sup> in the [[International System of Units]] (SI), and therefore 1 terahash is {{gaps|1|000|000|000|000|hashes}}, or 1 [[Orders of magnitude (numbers)#1012|trillion]] ([[short scale]]) hashes. The unit symbol for the terahash is '''Thash'''.
