The total amount of time a Blockchain network is unavailable over a year, measured in hours, providing a finer granularity for reliability analysis. This metric is calculated as the product of 8,760 (the number of hours in a year) and the Failure Rate (100% - Reliability %) divided by 100. Example: For a Reliability of 95.25%, Yearly Downtime (in Hours) = 8,760 × (100% - 95.25%) / 100 = 8,760 × 4.75 / 100 ≈ 416.1 hours.
