⚡ Block #960,554
📦 Block 960554 packed to the brim with 6,144 transactions
August 1, 2026 at 11:04 AM UTC
This block caught our eye for being unusually full — 6,144 transactions squeezed into 1.83 MB, pushing right up against Bitcoin's block weight limit. Think of the weight limit as the block's legal maximum cargo capacity; hitting it means miners packed in nearly every transaction they could. That kind of density suggests the mempool (the waiting room for unconfirmed transactions) was busy when this block was mined.
