About Orphaned Blocks
What are Orphans?
Valid blocks that were part of a shorter chain and are no longer in the main chain
Why They Exist
Normal part of blockchain consensus - miners may find blocks simultaneously
Impact
Orphaned blocks are valid but their transactions may be in other blocks
Monitoring
High orphan rates may indicate network issues or mining centralization
