July 2, 2026 at 07:28 AM UTC

Block 956329 was mined by an unknown solo miner — a rare feat in an era dominated by large mining pools. It's also one of the busiest blocks you'll see, squeezing 5,931 transactions into its full 1.54 MB of space. Solo mining means a single miner (or small operation) found this block on their own, claiming the entire reward rather than sharing it with a pool.
