Bitcoin’s mining difficulty, a key indicator of network security and block production time, has soared past 80 trillion for the first time ever. This milestone reflects the growing computational power dedicated to securing the Bitcoin network and comes just months before the next halving event.
Mining difficulty reached 81.73 trillion on February 17th, according to BTC.com.
Network hash rate climbed to 562.81 EH/s, demonstrating increased miner participation.
Scheduled for April, the halving will cut Bitcoin mining rewards in half, potentially impacting hash rate.
If hash rate drops post-halving, mining difficulty may decrease to maintain block production times.
Mining difficulty measures the computational effort required to mine a new block. Higher difficulty indicates increased network security but also raises energy consumption concerns.
The upcoming halving, reducing miner rewards, could incentivize less efficient miners to exit, potentially leading to a temporary dip in hash rate and adjusted difficulty.
Despite potential fluctuations, Bitcoin’s mining difficulty is expected to continue its upward trajectory due to growing network adoption and rising mining competition.
