Due to the common use of units like B, M, and K for token quantities in the market, many users are confused by the units used for CKB on https://explorer.nervos.org/charts/ - GB, MB, KB. As a long-time CKB user, it's easy to understand that 1 CKB equals 1 Byte. However, for users who are not familiar with CKB in-depth, this requires additional explanation. Would it be possible to change the units on the explorer to the more familiar K, M, and B that everyone is accustomed to?

@yixyxiu @Keith-CY to me that B in the Explorer is so much more confusing now 🤣

With G at least I know what scale I'm looking at, B(illion) is not well defined as it can be interpreted both as 10^9 and 10^12

Love & Peace, Phroi

Hi @phroi this is really a new interpretation for me. I think we can append it in the glossary and add it on the page @poor-defined
