⛏️ A Solo Miner Claims Block 956069 — Packed to the Brim

19/ 100

June 30, 2026 at 12:04 PM UTC

This block was mined by an unknown solo miner, meaning an individual (or small operation) beat the big mining pools to the punch — a rare feat these days. On top of that, the block is filled almost exactly to the weight limit, suggesting the miner's software did a thorough job selecting transactions to maximize the block's capacity.
