Query the chain · Query with SQL
Query the Bitcoin blockchain with plain SQL
To query the Bitcoin blockchain with SQL, you normally have to run a node, build an indexer, and write your own ETL just to get tables to query. BitcoinDatabase has done that for you. The whole chain since the 2009 genesis block is modeled as clean tables, blocks, transactions, inputs, outputs, addresses, balances, UTXOs, labels and metrics, that you query in plain SQL.
Join transactions to addresses, aggregate flows, build a custom metric, or slice the rich list by balance band, all in a familiar query language. The same data is also available via REST and dashboards. It is informational on-chain data only, not financial or investment advice.

Why it works
What you get with query with sql
The chain as tables
Blocks, transactions, inputs, outputs, addresses, UTXOs, labels and metrics are modeled as clean tables you can join and aggregate in plain SQL.
No node, no ETL
Skip running Bitcoin Core, building an indexer and writing pipelines. The chain is already parsed and reconciled, so you start with a query.
Analyst-ready
Use the SQL you already know to trace flows, build custom metrics or slice the rich list, then drill into the exact rows behind any result.
What it handles
The indexed Bitcoin chain, queryable your way
Look up an address, a transaction, a UTXO, the rich list or an on-chain metric, by REST API, SQL or dashboard. The same authoritative data, reconciled block-by-block against the canonical chain, without running a node.
- Query blocks, transactions and addresses as tables
- Join inputs and outputs to trace flows
- Aggregate UTXOs and balances at scale
- Build custom on-chain metrics in SQL
- Skip running a node, indexer or ETL

Why BitcoinDatabase
One platform, queryable three ways
Not a raw node to sync, not an indexer to build, and not five vendors to stitch together. The fully-indexed Bitcoin blockchain, available as a REST API, as SQL, and as dashboards, on one authoritative dataset.
REST API
Typed JSON for addresses, transactions, balances, UTXOs and metrics. Drop it into apps, wallets, explorers and agents with curl, Python or our SDKs.
SQL access
Run SQL directly against the indexed Bitcoin dataset for ad-hoc analysis, cohorts and exports, the same data the API and dashboards read from.
Compliance-first
Informational on-chain data and analytics only. Entity labels and flow tracing are framed as tooling to support a regulated team's own review, not accusations.
