arXiv:2610.22451v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Proof-of-Work blockchains increasingly rely on transaction fees to keep miners engaged as block subsidies decline. An immediate outcome of this is that miners may sit idle at the start of a round until enough high-fee transactions accumulate in order to make mining worthwhile. This idle period is known as the mining gap.
