FAQs: Understanding Ethereum Blocks
Q: Why does this block show 0 difficulty?
A: After Ethereum's transition to Proof-of-Stake (PoS), mining difficulty became irrelevant as blocks are now validated by stakers rather than miners.
Q: What determines gas limits in Ethereum blocks?
A: Gas limits adjust dynamically based on network demand. Miners/validators can vote to increase limits by up to 0.1% per block.
Q: How are block rewards calculated post-Merge?
A: Validators receive both newly minted ETH (currently ~0.02 ETH/block) and transaction fees, unlike miners who previously earned base rewards + fees.
