network, reminiscent of a similar incident in 2020. It was a two-block chainsplit, a noteworthy occurrence where two distinct blocks are mined and appended to the blockchain almost simultaneously.

When a two-block chainsplit occurs, the Bitcoin network finds itself with two separate chains, each containing an equal number of blocks temporarily.

However, as miners continue their work and create new blocks, one of the chains will be extended more rapidly, ultimately becoming longer than the other.
