⚡ Block #954,942

⛏️ A Solo Miner Packed This Block to the Brim

35/ 100

June 23, 2026 at 03:11 AM UTC

Block 954942 was mined by an unknown solo miner — a rare feat in an era dominated by large mining pools. They filled it almost completely, squeezing in 4,623 transactions right up to Bitcoin's block weight limit. Curiously, the total fees collected round to zero BTC, making this an unusual statistical outlier worth a second look.
