On-chain metrics for Bitcoin, with the raw data underneath

On-chain metrics turn the raw ledger into signal: daily active addresses, realized capitalization, SOPR, HODL waves, supply by age, and exchange inflows and outflows. BitcoinDatabase computes these from the fully-indexed chain since the 2009 genesis block, so every metric ties back to the exact addresses and transactions that produced it.

Pull a metric time series over the API, write SQL to build your own custom indicator, or watch them on a dashboard, then drill straight down to the underlying on-chain data. Metrics are informational analytics about network activity, not financial, investment or trading advice.

Why it works

What you get with on-chain metrics

The metrics that matter

Active addresses, realized cap, SOPR, HODL waves, supply by age and exchange flows are computed daily from the fully-indexed chain.

Drill to the raw data

Every metric ties back to the exact addresses and transactions behind it, so you can audit a number instead of trusting a black box.

Build your own

Query standard metrics over the API or write SQL against the raw ledger to define custom indicators on your own terms.

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.

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.

Good questions

Questions about on-chain metrics

Standard metrics include active addresses, realized cap, SOPR, HODL waves, supply by age band and exchange inflows and outflows, all computed from the indexed chain. You can also build custom indicators in SQL against the raw data.

No. They are informational analytics about network activity. BitcoinDatabase provides data and metrics only, not financial, investment or trading advice, and any decision you make is your own.
