Monero's hashrate recently hit an all time high thanks to the launch of Tari's mainnet. Tari is merge mined with Monero. Tari's mining is decentralized using P2Pool so that mining pool centralization isn't an issue.
The Monero network is stronger than ever, but if you aren't mining yet you should start. Every CPU helps make Monero stronger, ensuring everyone has access to private digital cash, which is essential for protecting our freedom from state attacks.
