BlockSci is a high-performance C++ tool and analysis library for blockchain science, featuring a custom in-memory blockchain database with Python bindings and a Jupyter interface. It enables fast, expressive analysis of Bitcoin and other blockchains but is no longer actively developed as of November 2020.

Use cases

  • analyze bitcoin blockchain transactions
  • research cryptocurrency transaction patterns
  • trace blockchain address clustering
  • query blockchain data fast in python
  • study miner and user behavior on bitcoin
  • explore blockchain data in jupyter notebooks

When to choose

  • you need extremely fast full-blockchain traversal for academic research
  • you want a Python/Jupyter interface over raw blockchain data
  • your target chain is compatible with the last 2021 release

When to avoid

  • you need maintained software or support for newer blockchain features
  • you want ACID guarantees or a general-purpose database
  • you need commercial-grade QA and reliability
