⛏️ A Solo Miner Sneaks In a Packed Block

27/ 100

June 25, 2026 at 01:29 AM UTC

Block 955258 was mined by an unknown entity — likely a solo miner rather than a major mining pool — which is a rare sight these days. On top of that, it's a heavy block, squeezing in over 4,000 transactions. Curiously, the total fees reported are zero, making it an unusual entry in the chain.
