Chain facts

Some of what the chain holds is never announced: rewards miners chose not to take, sats sent where no one can spend them, and how the coins in existence add up. Each figure here is summed from our block totals and says the block it is complete through.

A block's totals are its miner reward, fees, subsidy and burned sats, written when every one of its transactions is stored.

These figures cover blocks 0 to 120,153 of 974,914 known. Every block in that range is verified complete and totalled, so the figures grow as the sync climbs toward the tip. Blocks 120,154 to 312,754 are complete and waiting for their totals.

Unclaimed miner rewards

A miner may pay itself less than the subsidy and fees allow, and what it leaves is never created.

0 BSV 0 sats, left in 0 blocks.

Burned sats

Sats locked in outputs no one can ever spend, such as a data output that carries a value.

0 BSV 0 sats

Supply audit

The halving schedule sets the subsidy each block may issue. Every sat of it was claimed by a miner, left unclaimed, or paid to a coinbase that can never be spent. So the three lines after the first add up to it.

Issued by the schedule
6,007,700 BSV
Claimed by miners as new coins
6,007,550 BSV
Left unclaimed
0 BSV
Paid to coinbases that can never be spent
150 BSV
Burned, out of what was claimed
0 BSV
Can still move, at most
6,007,550 BSV

"At most", because coins whose keys are lost still count here: the chain can't tell them apart. Fees move coins that already exist, so they are taken out of what miners claimed.

Coinbases that can never be spent

Three coinbases paid 50 BTC each to outputs the node will never accept as spendable.

  • Block 0 The genesis coinbase, which the node never added to the UTXO set.
  • Block 91,722 Overwritten by the same coinbase repeated at block 91,880 (BIP30).
  • Block 91,812 Overwritten by the same coinbase repeated at block 91,842 (BIP30).
