There is race to get the next block. The fastest way to calculate the next block is for it to just be empty. Some pools provide this as the template to be mined to keep hash going. Sometimes this empty template gets mined.

I just feel like it’s fucking stupid when fees are high like this. I can see why they’d wanna do that when you get basically 6.25 either way, but this is just a vestige of that environment. It’s not like hashing on an empty template gets you a head start on the real block bc of how hashing works
