Monitored Components

Topology

Nodes

Geographic Distribution

The online peers per city in the latest crawl. Tor and I2P peers have no IP address, so they are not on the map.

Peers By City

Peers By City

This map shows the online peers per city in the last crawl of the latest day. The city and its coordinates come from the IP address mapping of ipregistry.co. Peers without a known city, for example Tor and I2P peers, are not on the map. The text below the map shows how many peers are not on the map.

Client Diversity

The client software of the online peers.

Client Diversity Trend

Client Diversity Trend

Shows the evolution of different user agent types (client software) participating in the network, over time.

Each agent type represents a different implementation and and indicates its relative prevalence within the network for the given reporting period. This chart helps track software diversity, adoption of new client versions, and overall network health, in terms of active nodes in the network.

The Unknown category represents nodes where the agent version could not be retrieved through the libp2p identify protocol. This situation can occur due to various reasons, such as the node terminating the connection before completing the full protocol negotiation.

Client participation over time

Network Health

The sync state of the nodes, the transports that they listen on, and where they run.

Sync State

Sync State

Shows the values of the latest crawl.

Compares the start height that each node reports in its version message with the majority tip, the most common start height of the crawl. A crawl takes up to two hours, so a distance of up to 12 blocks counts as in sync.

  • In Sync: at most 12 blocks from the majority tip.
  • Behind and Far Behind: more than 12 and more than 1,008 blocks (one week) below the majority tip.
  • IBD: initial block download. The node is behind, and it sends the maximum fee filter, which Bitcoin Core does during the initial block download.
  • Ahead: more than 12 blocks above the majority tip. Such nodes follow another chain.
  • Height 0: the node reports no blocks.
