Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 23 — According to U.Today, a rare two-blockchain reorganization (Reorg) recently occurred on the Bitcoin blockchain. Bitcoin researcher b10c revealed that mining pools Foundry USA, AntPool, and ViaBTC engaged in a multi-block competition.

The event was triggered at block height 941880, when the network briefly forked into two equal-length competing chains: AntPool mined block 941881 first, followed by ViaBTC mining block 941882 on the same chain; meanwhile, Foundry USA independently mined its own versions of blocks 941881 and 941882, creating a parallel two-chain scenario. Ultimately, Foundry USA mined blocks 941883, 941884, and 941885, winning with the longer chain. The blocks mined by AntPool and ViaBTC were discarded by the network as “orphaned blocks.” Foundry USA successfully mined seven consecutive blocks from 941879 to 941885.

Single-blockchain reorganizations are occasional in the Bitcoin network, but two-blockchain reorganizations are rare, indicating that the parallel state of two competing chains persisted for an additional full block cycle. This event is a normal operation of the decentralized consensus mechanism and not an attack or system failure.
