About BTCscope

independent · non-custodial · read-only
what btcscope is

BTCscope is a Bitcoin mainnet block explorer built for people who need chain data fast and without noise: node operators, analysts, treasury and reconciliation desks, and anyone verifying a payment. It renders blocks, transactions, addresses, the live mempool, fee markets, mining distribution and difficulty in a dense terminal-style interface, with CSV export on the views that feed real reporting work.

It is a viewer, not a wallet, not an exchange, and not an investment service. BTCscope does not hold, move, or manage anyone's coins, and it does not offer trading, yield, mixing, or recovery services of any kind.

Read-only by design

BTCscope never takes custody of funds, never asks for a private key or seed phrase, and never signs a transaction for you. It reads public chain data and displays it. If any site claiming to be BTCscope asks for a seed phrase, it is not us.

No account needed to explore

Every public page — blocks, transactions, addresses, mempool, mining, charts, markets — works without signing up. Accounts exist only for internal operators of this deployment.

Local-first personal data

Bookmarks, saved searches and alert rules are stored in your own browser. They are not uploaded, sold, or shared with third parties.

Open about failure

When the upstream API is slow or down, we say so on the public status page instead of hiding it. Latency, retries and outage windows are all visible.

data sources & method
chain data
mempool.space public REST API (Bitcoin mainnet) — blocks, transactions, addresses, mempool, fees, mining pools, difficulty
market data
CoinGecko public API — prices, market caps, 24h change, circulating supply
refresh model
Short-lived client-side caching per dataset with automatic revalidation; every dataset's age is published on the status page
failed requests
Retried up to three times, then surfaced with HTTP status and error detail rather than a blank screen
network
Bitcoin mainnet only — no testnet, no altcoin chain indexes
what we store
in your browser
Bookmarks, saved searches, alert rules and notification history (clearable at any time)
private keys
Never requested, never entered, never stored — BTCscope has no signing capability
funds
None. BTCscope is non-custodial and cannot receive or send coins
operator area
A sign-in exists for this deployment's own operators to manage internal records. It is not a customer account system and is not required to use the explorer
limits we're upfront about
  • — BTCscope depends on upstream public APIs. If they degrade, our numbers lag; the status page shows when that happens.
  • — Unconfirmed mempool data changes constantly and can be reorganised out. Always confirm depth before treating a payment as final.
  • — Fee estimates and mining projections are estimates, not guarantees.
  • — Nothing on this site is financial, legal or tax advice.
