35/ 100

July 2, 2026 at 06:58 AM UTC

An unknown miner — likely someone working alone rather than as part of a mining pool — successfully mined this block and filled it almost completely to Bitcoin's size limit. With 4,873 transactions squeezed in, it's a notably busy block. Solo mining a block is a rare feat, a bit like winning a lottery against massive odds.
