Bitcoin mining difficulty surges 14.7% to maintain block times

Bitcoin mining difficulty increased by 14.73% to reach 144.4 TH at block 937,440, a move aimed at maintaining steady block times in the network. This adjustment comes as the average network hashrate hovers around 1.06 ZH/s, reflecting the contribution of global miners who bolster Bitcoin’s resilience following halving cycles. The rising difficulty not only ensures consistent block intervals but also enhances the computational power securing the blockchain against potential attacks.
