Project Overview
Antpool is one of the largest mining pools in the world, supporting ten cryptocurrencies and rewarding miners daily for their contributed hash power. The mining pool was launched in 2014 and is operated by mining hardware manufacturer Bitmain.
Bitcoin BIP-110 Nears Block 961,632, Miner Signal Support Rate Only 2.45%
Odaily News: Bitcoin's BIP-110 will enter the enforcement phase after block 961,632, where nodes will reject blocks that do not signal support. Monitoring page data shows that among the 1,674 blocks counted in the current cycle, only 41 blocks support BIP-110, putting the miner signal support rate at 2.45%. BIP-110, officially named "Reduced Data Temporary Softfork," plans to tighten certain data rules in Bitcoin transactions within approximately one year, restricting the size of certain data elements used by Ordinals inscriptions and multiple token protocols. The proposal is primarily distributed through Bitcoin Knots, and Bitcoin Core has not adopted it. Major mining pools such as Foundry, Antpool, F2pool, and Viabtc have not issued support signals. If BIP-110 nodes execute as planned, the network could see two transaction histories, with the majority of miners and Bitcoin Core users expected to continue using the existing rules. Australian Bitcoin exchange Hardblock stated that BIP-110 activation is expected around August 7-8 and may temporarily suspend buying, selling, deposits, and withdrawals. Lightning Network tools and analytics provider Amboss has warned of a fork risk in early August, and Australian Bitcoin exchange Bitaroo plans to freeze deposits and withdrawals as the mandatory signaling deadline approaches.
Foundry USA mined 6 consecutive blocks, Bitcoin block 941,881 chain reorganization completed
Odaily News, March 24 – Antpool mined Bitcoin block 941,881 at UTC time 15:49:35. Foundry USA mined another version of the same height 12 seconds later, briefly creating two competing chains on the Bitcoin blockchain. Subsequently, ViaBTC extended block 941,882 on top of the Antpool version, while Foundry USA also continued to extend its own branch. Foundry USA then mined blocks 941,883 to 941,886 consecutively, giving its branch a cumulative workload lead. Nodes subsequently reorganized to the Foundry USA version, causing the blocks mined by Antpool and ViaBTC to become orphaned. The affected miners lost the corresponding block rewards and fees, and transactions not confirmed on the winning chain re-entered the mempool to be confirmed in subsequent blocks.
Bitcoin BIP-110 Forced Signaling Window Opens in Less Than Two Weeks, Current Support Rate ~2.64%
Odaily Odaily News: The Bitcoin BIP-110 forced signaling window will open at block height 961632, expected around August 9, 2026. As of 8:40 AM (EDT) on July 27, the chain height is 959842, approximately 1790 blocks away from this activation block. The current BIP-110 signaling support rate is around 2.64%. BIP-110, officially named "Reduced Data Temporary Softfork," proposes to limit the size of certain data fields within Bitcoin transactions, targeting Ordinals-like inscriptions, large OP_RETURN payloads, and similar high-data-volume use cases. If activated, the restrictions will take effect at block 965664 and automatically expire after 52,416 blocks (approximately one year). Current signaling support primarily comes from Ocean, independent miners, and small-scale operators. Major mining pools such as Foundry, Antpool, ViaBTC, and F2pool have not yet switched to supporting the proposal. Foundry has requested clients to vote based on their average hashrate; only when “support” votes exceed 51% of the participating weighted hashrate will the pool switch all its blocks to signaling support. If the current signaling level persists until block 961632, nodes enforcing BIP-110 will reject blocks that have not signaled version bit 4 and will instead follow the minority of blocks that do signal. Unupgraded nodes will continue to accept both signaling and non-signaling blocks, and will follow the chain with the most cumulative proof of work.

Bitcoin experienced a single-block reorganization, with the Antpool block included in the main chain and the Spiderpool block discarded
Odaily News: Research firm Galaxy Research recorded a reorganization event at Bitcoin block height 966500 on September 11, where mining pools Spiderpool and Antpool simultaneously discovered two valid blocks pointing to the same parent block, subsequently forming a brief competition. Ultimately, the Antpool block joined the chain with more cumulative work, and the Spiderpool block was discarded.Galaxy Research stated that this was the 3rd single-block reorganization in Bitcoin over the past 4 weeks, with the previous two occurring at block heights 962722 and 963853, respectively. Its node did not observe the block until the Antpool block completed confirmation and continued extending upon it.When a single-block reorganization occurs, the network will ultimately continue building along the chain with more cumulative work, while the other block is removed from the chain. Monero once experienced an 18-block reorganization, and Bitcoin SV experienced a 100-block reorganization in 2021; if a transaction is located in a replaced block, its confirmation count will disappear.

Bitcoin Hashprice Rises 20.41% in Four Days, Miner Revenue Climbs to $38.29/PH/s
Odaily News: Bitcoin's Hashprice has increased by 20.41% over the past four days, rising from a daily rate of $31.80/PH/s on August 18 to $38.29/PH/s on August 22. Hashprice is used to measure mining revenue corresponding to a specific amount of hashrate, and this increase has boosted miner income.As of August 22, a total of 133 large, medium, and small mining pools, along with individual mining operations, contributed hashrate to the Bitcoin network. Mining pool Foundry USA led with 214.73 EH/s, followed by Antpool with 156.17 EH/s and F2pool with 110.62 EH/s, while ViaBTC recorded 91.02 EH/s.The Bitcoin network's total hashrate has risen to approximately 922 EH/s, approaching 1 ZH/s. In August, miners have so far earned $682.69 million from block subsidies and transaction fees, of which transaction fee revenue accounted for $5.14 million, lower than July's $875 million.On August 22, the average block interval on the Bitcoin network was 10 minutes and 5 seconds, with current data indicating an expected difficulty adjustment of approximately -1% for the day. Based on an electricity cost of $0.10 per kilowatt-hour, the Bitmain Antminer S23 Hydro 3U is projected to yield an estimated daily profit of $17.86. (Bitcoin.com News)
