⛏️ A Solo Miner Packs Block 954940 to the Brim

35/ 100

June 23, 2026 at 02:47 AM UTC

Block 954940 was mined by an unknown solo miner — someone operating outside the major mining pools — which is a relatively rare sight on the Bitcoin network today. They filled the block almost entirely to its weight limit with 4,892 transactions, making it one of the busier blocks you'll come across. Curiously, the total fees recorded come to zero BTC, which is unusual for a block this packed.
