Approximately 60% of bitcoin blocks are merge mining other chains (since the last halving). That's down from a peak of 96% in April 2020. For our latest @mempool research report, @OrangeSurf analysed which merge mining schemes are in use, and which miners are using them. Looking at recent data we see different miner / pool groups. Group 1. No Merge Mining Foundry, MARA, SBI Crypto Group 2. AuxPow & “Chain A” ViaBTC, F2Pool & Luxor Group 3. Distinct switching pattern Binance Pool, BTCcom, Poolin, Braiins, ULTIMUS Group 4.
