About

BitcoinStats.io is an ongoing project that I keep expanding because I enjoy building it and exploring Bitcoin in depth.

Data across the site is kept close to live. Block-driven views refresh within seconds of a newly observed block, while node, mempool, and fee metrics update on short continuous cycles.

Most numbers on BitcoinStats.io are derived from my own Bitcoin nodes, because the best Bitcoin data is the data you can verify yourself.

Questions, feedback, and bug reports are always welcome via the contact page.

If you find the project useful, the donate page has a few Bitcoin and Lightning options. Every sat helps cover server running costs, and gives me one more honest reason to keep improving the project.

Acknowledgements

BitcoinStats.io stands on the shoulders of Bitcoin open source work and public data. Special thanks to Satoshi Nakamoto for Bitcoin's original design and first implementation, and to the Bitcoin Core contributors (source) for maintaining the node software and RPC interface that make independent verification possible. My own nodes are the primary source for independently verified block, chain, mempool, fee, peer, and UTXO data on this site.

  • Mining pool labels are derived from the mempool/mining-pools dataset, with local checks against coinbase tags and payout addresses.
  • Self-hosted Bitcoin API infrastructure uses the Mempool Open Source Project stack for BTC fiat price data.
  • The Fear and Greed Index is provided by Alternative.me. It is fetched server-side and served from the local dashboard payload.
  • Peer maps use public-domain Natural Earth country outlines made easy to consume by geojson.xyz, and peer geolocation uses DB-IP Lite data where available.
  • Lightning donation support is integrated through Alby and Alby Hub. QR codes in the donation flow are generated locally with Kazuhiko Arase's qrcode-generator.
  • Infrastructure is built around a small self-hosted setup with several Bitcoin nodes. Production runs on Hetzner VPS infrastructure. Start9 / StartOS and Synology DiskStation are part of the home infrastructure used for archival nodes, backfills, storage, and operational experiments.

A respectful nod also goes to Clark Moody Dashboard, one of the classic Bitcoin dashboards. BitcoinStats.io grew from a similar itch: when a number matters, verify it yourself.
