What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A database-free, self-hosted Bitcoin blockchain explorer that queries a user's own Bitcoin Core node via RPC. It provides web dashboards for blocks, transactions, addresses, mempool stats, and an RPC browser/terminal, with optional address history via Electrum-protocol servers.

Use cases

  • run a private bitcoin block explorer against my own node
  • browse blocks and transactions without trusting third-party explorers
  • inspect mempool fee and size breakdowns
  • search transactions by txid, block hash, or address
  • browse and run JSON-RPC commands on bitcoind from a web UI
  • self-host a blockchain explorer for testnet or signet

When to choose

  • you already run a Bitcoin Core full node and want a privacy-preserving explorer
  • you want a lightweight explorer with no separate database to maintain
  • you want raw RPC visibility into your node's capabilities

When to avoid

  • you need a full explorer without running your own node
  • you run a pruned node without txindex and need complete historical transaction data
  • you need a multi-coin explorer
