On-chain metrics · On-chain data

On-chain data for Bitcoin, indexed and queryable

On-chain data is the record the network itself writes: every address, balance, transaction, UTXO and fund flow, settled in blocks. BitcoinDatabase turns that raw ledger into something you can actually query. We parse every block since the 2009 genesis block and reconcile it, so the on-chain truth is one API call, one SQL query or one dashboard away.

informational on-chain data · not financial advice

REST API · SQL · dashboards, one indexed dataset. Querying the indexed Bitcoin blockchain ...

Instead of running a node and an indexer to assemble this yourself, you get clean, consistent on-chain data ready for apps, analysis and reporting. It is informational data about the chain, not financial, investment or trading advice.

Why it works

What you get with On-chain data

The raw ledger, parsed

Addresses, balances, transactions, UTXOs and flows are extracted directly from blocks, so you query the network truth rather than a derived approximation.

Reconciled block by block

Each block is parsed and balanced as it confirms, so totals tie out and the on-chain data you query is internally consistent.

Ready for any team

The same on-chain data is exposed via REST, SQL and dashboards, so engineers, analysts and operators each work with it the way they prefer.

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 addresses, balances and transactions
  • Inspect UTXOs and script types
  • Trace fund flows between addresses
  • Join on-chain activity to market data
  • Access it via API, SQL or dashboards

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 any HTTP client.

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.

Good questions

Questions about On-chain data

Anything recorded by the network: addresses, balances to the satoshi, transactions, inputs and outputs, UTXOs, script types, confirmations and the fund flows between addresses, plus derived metrics built on top. It all comes from the fully-indexed chain.
Metrics dashboards give you charts; BitcoinDatabase gives you the raw, queryable on-chain data underneath them, plus the metrics. You can drill from a metric down to the exact addresses and transactions. It is data only, not advice.
On-chain data is anything recorded in the Bitcoin blockchain itself: blocks, transactions, inputs, outputs, addresses, amounts, fees and script types. It is distinct from market data, which comes from exchanges, and from off-chain activity, which never touches the ledger. If it did not get written into a block, it is not on-chain data.
On-chain data analysis is reading the ledger to answer questions about supply, holding behavior and flows: how much has not moved in a year, which balances are growing, what share of value sits behind each address type. The chain records what happened but never why, so analysis is inference layered on exact records.
The raw chain is public, so anyone running a full node can read it at no cost beyond hardware and time. What is not free is having it indexed into queryable tables, kept current, and available at the depth and rate a production workload needs. That indexing work is what a data provider actually sells.
The records themselves are exact, to the satoshi, and every figure is reproducible from the chain. Accuracy problems come from interpretation instead: an address is not a person, attribution to exchanges is inference, and a metric can move because a definition changed rather than because behavior did. Trust the rows, question the labels.
On-chain data is the raw ledger, one row per output or transaction. On-chain metrics are aggregates computed from it, such as active addresses or realized price, which always embed methodology choices. We serve both, and being able to drop from a metric back to the rows behind it is what makes a metric auditable.
Yes. The chain is indexed since the 2009 genesis block and available over REST for point lookups or SQL for aggregate and historical work. That covers addresses, balances, transactions, blocks, UTXOs and precomputed daily metrics, without running or maintaining a node yourself.
