Fast and slow blocks are an expected feature of Proof of Work, not a defect. Block timing follows a Poisson process (random spacing around a steady average), so clusters of fast or slow blocks happen even when hashrate is unchanged.

For the technical reader
Pool identification is by coinbase signature; pools that don't sign or use unrecognized tags appear as untagged producers. The _Teranode suffix (e.g., taal.com_Teranode) marks blocks attributed to a pool running the Teranode node software — based on observable signals in the block data, not a formal protocol marker. GorillaPool.io may also be running a Teranode (observed in the Teranode explorer); when blocks become attributable to that node, they would appear with the suffix as well.
Tier thresholds. Major > 10K BSV; Notable 1K – 10K BSV; Significant 100 – 1K BSV. Counts are unique transactions in the 24-hour window moving value within these bands; the 100-BSV floor excludes ordinary day-to-day payments.
Shape is input-count → output-count. Pattern is heuristic:
Neutral: typical payment shape (1→2 or 2→2, one payment + change). Consolidation: many inputs, few outputs (UTXO cleanup or sweep). Distribution: few inputs, many outputs (payouts, faucet, batch send).
New to the radar flags addresses from today's top whale movements that have not appeared in any whale-tier transaction during the observation window. This could indicate a new large holder, a previously sub-threshold address crossing into whale territory, or a long-dormant address reactivating.
Recurring addresses are identified by tracking output scripts across all whale transactions (≥ 100 BSV) over the full 98-day observation window. An address appearing here has been involved in large-value movements on multiple separate days.
Behavior is based on whether an address predominantly receives (Accumulator), predominantly sends (Distributor), or does both in roughly equal measure (Exchange-Like).
Confidence reflects how many indicators align: transaction frequency, directional balance, and tier presence. High = 3+ indicators; Medium = 2; Low = 1.
All classifications are probabilistic. No identity or ownership claims are made. Addresses are derived from transaction output scripts.

For the technical reader
TPS is computed over the 22.8 hours of the scan window in 10-minute intervals, not per block. The peak is the busiest 10-minute window observed (296,246 transactions, ≈ 494 tx/s for that window).
Price source: real-time quote at scan completion. 24h change is from a rolling 24-hour spot reference.

For the technical reader
Dark cells indicate 10-minute windows where no block was mined: a natural result of the Poisson process governing Proof of Work.2 Transactions broadcast during those windows appear in the next mined block.
Each row = one hour of the scan. Each column = a 10-minute bucket within that hour. Read left-to-right within a row, then down to the next hour.
Poisson process. A random event process where events occur independently at a stable average rate, but with unpredictable spacing. Block times have a 10-minute average but individual intervals scatter widely; that's not a bug, it's how the math works.
№ 07On-chain Activity
3.3 million outputs, by purpose
The TxBlaster service produced 99.0% of transactions, posting paired payment and data-publication outputs continuously. The breakdown below isolates the remaining 1.0% so other activity is readable.
A note on storage. OP_RETURN data is prunable: nodes can discard it without breaking consensus, but reading it back requires running an indexer. UTXO-resident patterns (STAS tokens, spendable metadata, ordinal envelopes) remain in the chain's state and are recoverable from any pruned node. As BSV scales, the architectural direction is toward UTXO-resident data, not OP_RETURN.
Of 61,132 non-payment outputs in this window, 11.3% were prunable (OP_RETURN) and 88.7% were UTXO-resident. Pruning is permitted by consensus today but not generally practiced — the architectural advantage of UTXO-resident data materializes as throughput scales toward Teranode-class capacity.
TxBlaster is an identified, automated service that posts paired P2PK + OP_RETURN transactions continuously. We count it separately not because it's less legitimate (every fee-paid valid transaction is real chain activity), but because at 99% of transaction count today, it would visually overwhelm everything else. The numbers above show what the other activity looks like.
For the technical reader
Purpose classifies outputs by what they're locked to:
Spendable metadata (heuristic): scripts with signature verification followed by data removed via OP_DROP. Metadata isn't consumed by validation logic but remains on-chain in the UTXO set.
Unique structures: a contract structure is a normalized script skeleton with variable data (hashes, signatures, pubkeys) removed. 8 unique structures observed today across 45,892 contract outputs.
№ 08Protocols & Content
What people published, and how it was framed
Open standards used to format data on-chain, and the MIME types declared in those publications.
Metanet (the original). The 2018-2019 nChain protocol: a 4-byte "meta" push in OP_RETURN that defines a DAG of parent-txid-linked records. Not to be confused with the newer BRC-100 "Metanet" wallet/overlay ecosystem, which uses the same word for a different thing.
Content Type · MIME types in declared inscriptions
Content Types are MIME declarations sourced from two structures: ordinal envelopes (1Sat-style spendable inscriptions) and B:// protocol OP_RETURN publications. Outputs that don't declare a MIME type aren't counted here.
application/bsv-20 covers both BSV-20 and BSV-21: both protocols declare "p":"bsv-20" in their JSON and most inscriptions inherit the legacy MIME type. Protocol differentiation happens via JSON fields (tick = BSV-20 ticker mode; sym/id = BSV-21 tickerless mode).
№ 09Overlay Directory
127 SHIP endpoints · 126 SLAP endpoints
BRC-88 topic registrations announce who is hosting which overlay services on chain.
BRC-88 SHIP/SLAP. Topic registrations on chain that announce which overlay services a node hosts. SHIP is the intake side (which topics this node accepts); SLAP is the query side (which topics this node can answer for).
endpoints = unique (URL, identity key) pairs. advertisements = signed unspent UTXOs on chain, each declaring one endpoint hosts one topic. topics = named overlay services like tm_uhrp or ls_ship.
Snapshot from 2026-06-07 11:15 UTC. Counts come from the four trackers hardcoded into the BSV SDK (overlay-us-1, overlay-eu-1, overlay-ap-1, users.bapp.dev). BSV apps query these to find which servers host the overlay topics they need.
№ 10Identifiable Activity
Applications and tokens with recognizable fingerprints
MNEE led identifiable activity at 7,193 transactions. Most chain activity carries no such identifier; the names below are services whose on-chain shape is recognizable from prior analysis.
Patterns are matched against a curated catalog of known protocols and application signatures: MAP tags, B:// envelopes, AIP, OPUB, ordinal mime declarations, custom STAS structures. Some come from WoC tags; others are identified through analysis. New patterns are added editorially as they emerge.
Counts are unique transactions touching each application's recognizable structures. A transaction can match more than one pattern.
№ 10Script of the Day
Multi-Signature
MULTISIG · selected from 5 candidates
Multi-Signature with a 71-byte payload
What it does. Requires multiple signatures (M-of-N) to spend. Used for shared custody, escrow, and organizational funds.
Why it matters. Enables trustless collaboration and enhanced security for high-value transactions.
Selection is editorial: one script per day from a curated category (Data Carrier, Token Mint, Complex Contract, Hash Puzzle, etc.). Candidate count shows how many similar scripts appeared in the same window.
The script preview above is the actual on-chain ASM (truncated for display); the skeleton normalizes pushes to <DATA> for pattern comparison across transactions. Opcodes shown are the unique ones present in the script, not the sequence order.

Every classification in this brief came from a query I wrote, on infrastructure I built. If it's useful to you, sats keep it shipping.
