Difficulty Adjustment ~ Bitcoin to the Max
World Crypto Network
Bitcoin's difficulty adjustment retargets the proof-of-work hash target every 2016 blocks (roughly two weeks) to maintain 10-minute average block times. If miners add hashpower and produce blocks faster, the target tightens (requiring more leading zeros), increasing computational difficulty; if hashpower drops, the target loosens. This self-regulating mechanism maintains consistent block discovery
