9 pools, on schedule

9 pools produced today's 144 blocks at an average interval of 9.9 min — on schedule relative to the 10-minute target.

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.

Cadence. Average interval 9.9 min — on schedule relative to the 10-minute target. 9 pools produced today's blocks.

Largest block. Block 957,580 at 401,136 transactions, the peak load in the window. Avg tx/block across all 144 blocks was 6,562.

№ 02 Teranode Network

8 Teranode operators visible on the public network

At least 8 operators are announcing on the public gossip network (2 acting as public relays), running versions from v0.13.1 to v0.15.3. This is the publicly-visible set only; others almost certainly run Teranode without announcing.

For the technical reader

Source: node_status messages on the public BSV gossip layer, observed by our own libp2p listener and deduplicated by peer ID. This counts the publicly-announcing set only — a node that does not broadcast status, or runs inside a private cluster, will not appear, so read it as a floor, not a full census.

“Caught up” means within one block of the chain tip (currently 957,692). Stalled or still-syncing nodes are excluded from that count. “Public relay” here means a node that publicly forwards gossip to the rest of the mesh; only two do, and both announce under the same operator label and share infrastructure, so the public mesh’s reachability appears to lean on a single operator.

№ 03 Mining Distribution

9 pools produced today's 144 blocks

Mining-Dutch led at 20.8%. Distribution within normal range.

Mining-Dutch 20.8%
CUVVE 13.9%

taal.com 9.7%
Bitofsin 9%
qdlnk 9%
Kryptex 7.6%
GorillaPool 6.3%
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.

Block counts: Mining-Dutch 30, CUVVE 20, SA100 18, molepool.com 16, taal.com 14, Bitofsin 13, qdlnk 13, Kryptex 11, GorillaPool 9. 144 of 144 blocks identified.

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).

How to read this

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 134-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

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.
№ 08 On-chain Activity

2.2 million outputs, by purpose

The TxBlaster service produced 91.7% of transactions, posting paired payment and data-publication outputs continuously. The breakdown below isolates the remaining 8.3% 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 209,298 non-payment outputs in this window, 58.6% were prunable (OP_RETURN) and 41.4% 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 92% 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:

Payment: P2PKH, P2PK, multisig (spendable value).
Data Publication: OP_RETURN, ordinal envelopes, spendable metadata (carrying data).
Contracts: STAS tokens, custom locking scripts (programmable spend conditions).

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. 26 unique structures observed today across 85,739 contract outputs.

№ 09 Protocols & 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

For the technical reader

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).

For the technical reader

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 2026-07-13 14:30 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.

№ 11 Identifiable Activity

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.

Standard Payment (P2PKH) with a 25-byte payload

What it does. This script locks coins to a hash (fingerprint) of a public key. To spend them, the spender must reveal the public key and provide a valid signature proving they control the matching private key.

Why it matters. This template forms the standard payment mechanism in the original Bitcoin design and is widely used by wallets.
