In readiness for the upcoming halving event this year, the Bitcoin mining difficulty has received a significant boost as it soared to unprecedented levels.
Bitcoin Mining Difficulty and Hash Rate Eyeing ATH
Data from BTC.com shows that Bitcoin mining difficulty which usually records the degree of difficulty involved in discovering new Bitcoin blocks through mining, has exceeded 80 trillion. Specifically, the Bitcoin mining difficulty is currently at 81.73 trillion with its hash rate now reaching 562.89 EH/s.
For perspective, having a higher Bitcoin mining difficulty for BTC’s Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism means that miners would be required to exert more computational power and energy to discover the correct hash for each block. It is important to increase the difficulty in order to maintain the target block time.
Noteworthy, this milestone was discovered on February 16 and it comes with the much-anticipated Bitcoin halving event only about two months away. During the ha
