Bitcoin’s blockchain bandwidth utilization exceeds 90% for the first time since April halving

Since the halving event in April, the blockchain bandwidth usage rate of Bitcoin has exceeded 90% for the first time. The increase in bandwidth usage after the halving is mainly attributed to the adoption of new token standards, including Runes and BRC-20. Dune Analytics data shows that the transaction volume involving these two token standards has significantly increased, especially on April 23, when the transaction volume of Runes exceeded 750,000.

  • Bitcoin L2 Stacks was down for nearly 9 hours yesterday due to Bitcoin reorganization and unexpected miner behavior

    Bitcoin's L2 expansion network, Stacks, experienced downtime on Friday, stopping block production for nearly 9 hours. This event was caused by Bitcoin reorganization (reorg) and "unexpected miner behavior," causing STX prices to drop 12% that day. "Unexpected miner behavior" may refer to miners not updating their software or coordinating effectively to respond to Bitcoin reorg, causing block production delays and implying technical or operational issues among miners. Stacks co-founder Muneeb Ali pointed out that the upcoming Nakamoto upgrade focuses on a new consensus mechanism aimed at eliminating the possibility of forks and reducing the impact of Bitcoin reorg. The Nakamoto upgrade was originally expected to be launched in late spring, but due to potential issues being too severe to be resolved in subsequent updates, it was postponed at the last minute and is now planned to be released in August.
