What Happens to the Mining Difficulty after a Halving Event?

The halving event itself does not directly change the mining difficulty. Difficulty is adjusted based on the total hash rate of the network, typically every 2,016 blocks.

If the halving causes some less-efficient miners to shut down due to reduced revenue, the total hash rate will drop, leading to a decrease in difficulty at the next adjustment. This allows the remaining miners to find blocks at the target time.
