Expected: ~10 min. Median: 6.3 min.

Range

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

304,499 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.

⬡ Script of the Day — Programmable Contract

What it does: This script uses conditional logic (OP_IF/OP_ELSE), byte manipulation (OP_SPLIT/OP_CAT), or hash operations to enforce spending conditions beyond simple signature verification.

Why it matters: Demonstrates BSV's full scripting capability for programmable money and stateful applications.

^* 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

Chain Status

Over the past 24 hours, block production averaged a 9.5-minute interval. The network produced 63 blocks faster than 5 minutes and 19 blocks slower than 20 minutes.

Block production is consistent with the expected Proof-of-Work cadence.

Economic Activity

A total of 149,177 transactions were processed across 144 blocks.

Block activity ranged from a minimum of 1 transaction to a maximum of 18,838, with an average of 1,036 transactions per block.

Mempool data is unavailable; no inference made. Based on transaction volume, the network is operating under moderate load, well within its capacity.

Mining Distribution

Hash share for the 24-hour period was distributed among several pools, with no single entity exceeding 50%. The distribution is as follows:

molepool.com: 29.2%

CUVVE: 16%

taal.com: 16%

qdlnk: 14.6%

GorillaPool: 7.6%

taal.com_Teranode: 7.6%

SA100: 7.6%

Mining-Dutch: 1.4%

Whale Activity

A total of 113 transactions exceeding 100 BSV were detected.

The activity was tiered as follows: 10 transactions over 10,000 BSV, 34 transactions between 1,000 and 10,000 BSV, and 69 transactions between 100 and 1,000 BSV.

The largest movements included:

79,255.38 BSV (neutral 2→2 transfer)

24,580.68 BSV (1→7 distribution)

18,195.73 BSV (46→1 consolidation)

These large-value movements, featuring a mix of consolidation and distribution patterns, suggest potential internal treasury management, exchange flows, or Over-the-Counter (OTC) settlements.

Script Taxonomy

Transaction outputs were primarily split between value transfer and data embedding.

Purpose: PAYMENT (52.5%), DATA_PUBLICATION (47.2%), CONTRACTS (0.3%).

Structure: The most common structures were P2PKH (159,808), OP_RETURN (142,428), and Ordinal envelopes (1,304). A total of 792 custom contract outputs were observed across 15 unique structures.

Protocols Detected: ord-return(2369), TreeChat(1446), B://(1181), MAP(523), RUN(369).

Script of the Day: Programmable Contract

Node Software

The network's peer-to-peer layer shows a majority of nodes running the latest client software, indicating good network coordination.

The majority client is `/Bitcoin SV:1.2.0/`, representing 56% of observed nodes. Other versions include `/Bitcoin SV:1.1.0/` (38%) and `/Bitcoin SV:1.1.1/` (6%).

Network stable with moderate economic activity.
