This is the first time in history that the number of ETH transactions has dropped so much in 30 days. In November 2021, Vitalik Buterin proposed a new limit on the total number of call data transactions in a block to reduce the total cost of transactional call data over the Ethereum network.

An ETH miner working on 2Miners: Solo Pool validated a block alone and received a reward of around $540,000.

The miner earned 168 ETH for successfully mining the block, far exceeding the average reward per block of around 4 ETH.
