This block is unusually full — 4,063 transactions crammed into 2.03 MB, pushing right up against Bitcoin's block weight limit. That kind of density often points to inscription activity: small pieces of data (like images or text) being written permanently onto the blockchain. Nothing extraordinary on its own, but a tidy snapshot of a busy network.
