The Weekly Brief · week of 2026-10-19
Chain split: The BLAKE2b chain produced 1,060 blocks this week against 1,073 on the SHA-256 chain — a gap of 13, consistent with two independent PoW algorithms running near-parity. Pool overlap between the two chains was zero: no pool mined on both sides this week, indicating miner cohorts remain fully separated with no crossover hedging.
