July 8, 2026 at 07:52 PM UTC

Block 957219 is a busy one β€” it squeezed 4,110 transactions into its 1.65 MB frame, pushing right up against the block weight limit. The weight limit (a measure of how much data a block can hold) acts like a hard cap on capacity, so reaching it means this block was about as full as Bitcoin allows. That kind of density is worth a closer look.
