FAQs
How are Ethereum block rewards calculated?
Ethereum block rewards consist of a fixed base reward plus transaction fees. After Ethereum's transition to Proof-of-Stake, validators receive these rewards instead of miners.
What determines a block's gas limit?
The gas limit is network-adjusted based on demand, allowing blocks to process more transactions when needed while preventing spam. This block used 43.49% of its gas capacity.
Why are some miners listed as "Unknown"?
Some mining pools don't publicly identify their addresses or may use private mining operations, resulting in "unknown" labels.

Ethereum Blockchain Evolution
This block demonstrates several key characteristics of Ethereum's architecture:
- Efficient state transitions (shown by the state root hash)
- Zero uncle blocks (indicating good network synchronization)
- Consistent block propagation (evident from the sequential block numbers)
The technical details like SHA3 uncles (0x1dc-49347) and nonce (0) provide cryptographic proof of the block's validity within Ethereum's consensus rules.
