July 2, 2026 at 06:42 AM UTC
Block 956323 was mined by an unknown solo miner — a rare feat in an era dominated by large mining pools. It's packed with 5,323 transactions and pushed right up against Bitcoin's block weight limit, meaning whoever mined this squeezed in nearly as much activity as the protocol allows. Solo mining means a single miner, rather than a group sharing rewards, found this block entirely on their own.
