About

BTC RPC Explorer is a self-hosted block explorer that runs entirely off your own node's RPC interface. Every page is assembled from answers your Bitcoin Core instance gave it, so exploring the chain tells no outside party what you looked at.

It covers the usual explorer ground — blocks, transactions, addresses, and search by transaction ID, block hash, or height — and adds analysis pages with statistics on blocks, transaction patterns, and miner activity. A mempool summary breaks pending transactions down by fee rate, size, and age.

What sets it apart is how much of your node it exposes. There is a browser and terminal for RPC commands that lets you call your node directly and read what comes back, and most pages can show the raw JSON that bitcoind returned to build them. It is as much a window into your node's capabilities as into the blockchain.

On a MyNode it works best with full transaction indexing enabled, and it can optionally query your Electrum Server to add complete address transaction history. Without an index it still runs, though some lookups are limited to recent, mempool, or wallet transactions.

It is the natural pick if you want to understand what your own node actually knows rather than simply look up a transaction. Because every answer comes from your node, it also doubles as a way to confirm your node is fully indexed and behaving the way you expect.
