Explore the full Bitcoin ecosystem with The Mempool Open Source Project. See the real-time status of your transactions, browse network stats.

A mempool explorer is a tool that enables you to view real-time and historical information about a node's mempool, visualize its transactions, and search and view those transactions.

The mempool.space website invented the concept of visualizing a Bitcoin node's mempool as projected blocks.

See the most recent Bitcoin blocks along with basic stats such as block height, block reward, block size, and more.

Get stats on the Lightning network (aggregate capacity, connectivity, etc), Lightning nodes (channels, liquidity, etc) and Lightning channels (status, fees, etc).

See mempool size (in MvB) and transactions per second (in vB/s) visualized over time.
