Blockchair
1 storyBlockchair makes public activity on multiple networks verifiable through records for blockchain data API, historical transaction datasets, and privacy-focused transaction analysis. Its indexing also connects transaction fee statistics with raw block data access and blockchain node data, which helps reconstruct a transaction, contract interaction, or validator event. Investigations using Blockchair belong here when evidence from blockchain data API or historical transaction datasets is essential and the explorer's handling of privacy-focused transaction analysis affects the conclusion. Protocol changes to the indexed networks need the network entry unless explorer behavior is affected; wallet clustering and entity attribution remain analytics topics rather than functions of Blockchair.
Bitcoin Instant Validation Faces 17 GPU-Year Barrier, Hazync Shows
Hazync's prototype can verify early Bitcoin blocks in milliseconds, but a full-chain proof would demand about 17 GPU-years-highlighting the scale of compute required for reusable, trustless Bitcoin validation
