On Feb. 8, 2025, Bitcoin’s processing velocity eclipsed its prior pinnacle of 840 EH/s—achieved mere days earlier—soaring to 852 EH/s. Block intervals linger near nine minutes and twenty-four seconds, while the protocol braces for a computational recalibration tomorrow, now 67 blocks away.

Estimations forecast a 6.38% uptick in mining difficulty, though final figures may diverge. The blockchain now stands 85.2% shy of the zettahash threshold—a staggering 1 sextillion operations per second—even as transactional lethargy pervades the ecosystem.

As of 4:25 p.m. ET on Feb. 8, a mere trio of blocks await validation, accompanied by 5,398 pending transactions. High priority onchain fees hover at 2 sat/vB ($0.27 per transfer), while Foundry dominates mining contributions with 258.69 EH/s, capturing 30.37% of total output.

Among 70 identifiable participants, nineteen pools govern 97.7% of the network’s computational output. With transactional inertia persisting, blocks occasionally stall mid-formation, a stark contrast to last year’s frenetic bottlenecks of over 600,000 unconfirmed transfers in the backlog.

Bitcoin first breached the 1 EH/s threshold in early 2016, ascending to today’s 1,000 EH/s zenith over nine years. Beyond its market dominance, the protocol’s unrivaled computational eclipses all proof-of-work rivals. The next frontier? A yottahash epoch—1 septillion operations per second—transforming cryptographic ambition into tangible reality.
