  • Developers seeking Bitcoin ecosystem data through an API service.
  • Bitcoin full-node operators who want to host their own explorer.

Documented uses

  • Visualize pending Bitcoin transactions.
  • Explore Bitcoin blockchain and network activity.

  • Use an API service for Bitcoin ecosystem data.
  • Install a self-hosted instance through a supported full-node distribution.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • Mempool offers both the hosted service at mempool.space and a self-hosted option.
  • The README lists six supported full-node distributions for one-click installation.
  • Docker, manual frontend and backend installation, and production deployment guidance are available as advanced routes intended for people with server-management experience.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
