Simple, database-free Bitcoin blockchain explorer, via RPC to [Bitcoin Core](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin).
This tool is intended to be a simple, self-hosted explorer for the Bitcoin blockchain, driven by RPC calls to your own bitcoind node. This tool is easy to run but lacks features compared to database-backed explorers.
This is a simple, self-hosted explorer for the Bitcoin blockchain, driven by RPC calls to your own [Bitcoin](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin) node. It is easy to run and can be connected to other tools (like [ElectrumX](https://github.com/spesmilo/electrumx)) to achieve a full-featured explorer.
Whatever reasons one might have for running a full node (trustlessness, technical curiosity, supporting the network, etc) it's helpful to appreciate the "fullness" of your node. With this explorer, you can not only explore the blockchain (in the traditional sense of the term "explorer"), but also explore the functional capabilities of your own node.
