We're organizing another Designathon in the Bitcoin Design Community, from May 4-18. Should be fun.

Screenshot of mempool.space. There are barely more than two blocks worth of transactions waiting for confirmation with the next block starting at 1.02 ṩ/vB. The recent blocks show one block that is not full.

The mempool continues to be almost empty. The UTXO set peaked at 188M around Christmas and continues to trend down since. It has now fallen below 180M.

Next block: 1.02 ṩ/vB+
