Bitcoin reaches record 1 zetahash per second
The Bitcoin network has reached a record hashrate, surpassing 1 zetahash per second (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 calculations per second), according to recent data. This milestone marks a historic level for network security and processing capacity.
Miners use specialized equipment to rapidly compute cryptographic hashes required to validate new blocks. The increasing hashrate strengthens security, making it more difficult to alter transaction history and reducing the risk of 51% attacks.
The 1 ZH/s threshold demands higher efficiency and innovation in mining hardware, as network difficulty adjusts proportionally to computing power. Analysts note that a high hashrate can reflect institutional and government investments in mining infrastructure.
Dan Tapiero, founder of 10T Holdings, described reaching this level as one of the top ten events in the past 50 years in digital finance, emphasizing Bitcoin’s role as the most secure computing network globally.
This technical achievement confirms the resilience and trust in the decentralized network, further consolidating Bitcoin as a safe and tamper-resistant digital asset.
