# The Ledger Object

> When Horizon returns information about a ledger, it uses the following format.

When Horizon returns information about a ledger, it uses the following format:

**id** `string`

A unique identifier for this ledger.

**paging\_token** `number`

A cursor value for use in [pagination](https://developers.stellar.org/docs/data/apis/horizon/api-reference/structure/pagination).

**hash** `string`

A hex-encoded SHA-256 hash of this ledger’s [XDR](https://developers.stellar.org/docs/learn/fundamentals/data-format/xdr.md)-encoded form.

**prev\_hash** `string`

The hash of the ledger immediately preceding this ledger.

**sequence** `number`

The sequence number of this ledger, and the parameter used in Horizon calls that require a ledger number.

**successful\_transaction\_count** `number`

The number of successful transactions in this ledger.

**failed\_transaction\_count** `number`

The number of failed transactions in this ledger.

**operation\_count** `number`

The number of operations applied in this ledger.

**tx\_set\_operation\_count** `number`

The number of total operations in the transaction set (including failed transactions).

**closed\_at** `string`

An [ISO 8601](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) formatted string of when this ledger was closed.

**total\_coins** `string`

The total number of lumens in circulation.

**fee\_pool** `string`

The sum of all transaction fees.

**base\_fee\_in\_stroops** `number`

The fee the network charges per operation in a transaction.

**base\_reserve\_in\_stroops** `number`

The reserve the network uses when calculating an account’s minimum balance.

**max\_tx\_set\_size** `number`

The maximum number of operations validators have agreed to process in a given ledger. Since Protocol 11, ledger capacity has been measured in operations rather than transactions. For more info on that decision, see [CAP-5](https://github.com/stellar/stellar-protocol/blob/master/core/cap-0005.md#repurposing-ledgerheadermaxtxsetsize).

**protocol\_version** `number`

The protocol version that the Stellar network was running when this ledger was committed.

**header\_xdr** `string`

A base64 encoded string of the raw `LedgerHeader` xdr struct for this ledger.
