Mining
Difficulty adjustments and mining pool distribution
Monitor Bitcoin's mining landscape. The difficulty chart tracks the network's computational security as it adjusts every 2,016 blocks. Pool distribution shows which mining pools are producing blocks, with OCEAN template miners identified individually. Empty blocks are tracked historically, while common in Bitcoin's early years, they are rare today and typically indicate intentional miner behavior.
Difficulty
Difficulty #
Daily mining difficulty, adjusts every 2,016 blocks (~2 weeks)
Difficulty Ribbon #
Daily difficulty ribbon showing 7 moving averages from 7-day to 128-day
Mining Pools
Mining Pool Share #
Which mining pools are finding the most blocks. More distributed is healthier for the network
Mining Diversity Index #
Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) measuring mining concentration. Below 1000 is competitive, above 1800 is concentrated
Empty Blocks #
Blocks with no user transactions, usually mined before the pool has received the previous block's transactions
Empty Blocks by Pool #
Which mining pools produce the most coinbase-only blocks
