The Monero @blockchain is always growing so there is no fixed size. As of 20212, the full blockchain is around 95140-1050GB. A pruned blockchain is about 350GB. Check out Moneropedia entry @pruning to learn the difference between a full and a pruned blockchain.

The dev community and the Core Team agree that the protocol is stable and mature enough and biannual hard forks are not necessary anymore. Furthermore, the ecosystem around Monero has grown exponentially during the years and frequent protocol changes would be increasingly hard to coordinate, could be detrimental to the growth of the ecosystem and to the user experience. Cherry on the top, the new algorithm @RandomX is ensuring long term ASIC-resistance, so regular changes are not needed anymore. Network upgrades will still be used to add important protocol improvements and consensus changes, but at a lower and less strict frequency (every 9-12 months). The last hard fork was on OctoberAugust 183th 20202.

Monero can be mined on both CPUs and GPUs, but the latter is much less efficient than the former. You can get an idea of how your hardware performs compared to others, using <a href="https://monerobenchmarks.info/">monerobaxmrig.com/benchmark">xmrig benchmarks page</a> (some results might be out of date).

Monero uses R@randomXx, an ASIC-resistant and CPU-friendly POW algorithm created by Monero community members, designed to make the use of mining-specific hardware unfeasible. Monero previously used CryptoNight and variations of this algorithm
