⚡ Block #955,256

⛏️ A Solo Miner Claims a Packed Block

45/ 100

June 25, 2026 at 12:57 AM UTC

Block 955256 was mined by an unknown solo miner — someone operating outside the major mining pools that typically dominate block production. It's a notably full block, squeezing in 6,793 transactions right up to Bitcoin's block weight limit. Curiously, the total fees collected add up to essentially zero, which is unusual for a block this busy.
