Expected: ~10 min. Median: 7 min.

Range

0.1m – 54.5m

Fastest to slowest block interval observed.

Fast Blocks (<5 min)

Hashrate bursts or luck variance.

Slow Blocks (>20 min)

PoW variance — expected in Poisson process.

A Poisson process is a random event process where events occur independently at a stable average rate, but with unpredictable spacing.

⬡ Script Usage Taxonomy

305,410 outputs

This section describes how Bitcoin scripts were used in this scan window. We classify activity in three layers: purpose, structure, and protocol.

Purpose describes why an output exists (payment, data publication, or programmable conditions).
Structure describes how that purpose is implemented in script (e.g., P2PKH, OP_RETURN, conditional envelope).
Protocol describes the semantic meaning of embedded data when identifiable (e.g., MAP, B://).

Because Bitcoin Script does not explicitly declare intent, some classifications are inferred from structure and are labeled as heuristic where appropriate.

Protocol detection is based on known marker patterns. Absence of a marker does not imply absence of meaning.

⬡ Script of the Day — Data Carrier (OP_RETURN)

What it does: This script begins with OP_RETURN, which terminates execution and marks the output as unspendable. The remaining bytes carry arbitrary data.

Why it matters: Currently the most common method for data publication. Used by protocols like B://, MAP, AIP, and TreeChat for files, metadata, and social content.

^* Spendable metadata (heuristic): Scripts with signature verification followed by data removed via OP_DROP. Metadata not consumed by validation logic but remains on-chain.

^† Unique structures: A contract structure is a normalized script skeleton with variable data (hashes, signatures, pubkeys) removed.

◇ AI Network Analysis

Gemini Pro

BSV Network Health Report

Chain Status

Chain convergence normal. No deep reorg activity observed. Block production is consistent with expected Proof-of-Work cadence. The network is consolidated on a single active chain tip.

Over the 24-hour period, 145 blocks were produced with an average interval of 11.1 minutes. Production was variable, with 50 blocks arriving in under 5 minutes and 26 blocks taking longer than 20 minutes to be mined.

Economic Activity

The network processed 139,844 transactions in the last 24 hours. Block activity varied significantly, with an average of 964 transactions per block, a maximum of 10,284, and a minimum of 1.

A current mempool snapshot shows 1,883 pending transactions, occupying 52.8 MB. This indicates moderate demand for block space, with the network operating well within its capacity.

Mining Distribution

Hash distribution remains decentralized, with no single entity controlling a majority of the hashrate. The distribution across 145 blocks is as follows:

taal.com: 38 blocks (26.2%)

CUVVE: 26 blocks (17.9%)

qdlnk: 19 blocks (13.1%)

Mining-Dutch: 18 blocks (12.4%)

SA100: 14 blocks (9.7%)

taal.com_Teranode: 12 blocks (8.3%)

GorillaPool: 9 blocks (6.2%)

/molepool.com/: 9 blocks (6.2%)

Whale Activity

Significant large-value movements were observed. A total of 166 transactions exceeding 100 BSV were processed, broken down as follows:

Over 10,000 BSV: 10 transactions

1,000 - 10,000 BSV: 22 transactions

100 - 1,000 BSV: 134 transactions

The top movements showed a mix of patterns, including neutral wallet-to-wallet transfers, complex distributions (one-to-many or many-to-many), and UTXO consolidations. This activity could represent exchange flows, OTC desk settlements, or internal treasury management.

Script Taxonomy

On-chain activity was a mix of value transfer and data publication. The 305,410 new outputs created were categorized by purpose:

PAYMENT: 181,054 (59.3%)

DATA_PUBLICATION: 122,441 (40.1%)

CONTRACTS: 1,915 (0.6%)

The most common structures were standard P2PKH (Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash) and OP_RETURN data carriers. Multiple data protocols were active, including MAP (1,368), TreeChat (832), and B:// (757).

Script of the Day: Data Carrier (OP_RETURN)

What it does: This script begins with the OP_RETURN opcode, which immediately halts script execution and marks the transaction output as provably unspendable. All data following the opcode is embedded directly onto the blockchain.

Why it matters: It is the primary and most efficient method for on-chain data publication. Protocols like B:// (files), MAP (geospatial/social data), and many others use this fundamental structure to anchor information immutably.

Node Software

The network shows a strong majority of nodes running the v1.2.0 client, indicating healthy software adoption and coordination. The current distribution across 47 connected peers is:

/Bitcoin SV:1.2.0/: 24 nodes (51%)

/Bitcoin SV:1.1.0/: 13 nodes (28%)

/Bitcoin SV:1.1.1/: 6 nodes (13%)

Other: 4 nodes (8%)

Network stable with moderate economic activity.
