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
