BTX, by the numbers
The live state of BTX, the post quantum Bitcoin: supply and the halving countdown from the chain itself, how it stacks up against Bitcoin, and the security economics that value a proof-of-work network. Every number has its source.
At a glance
Computed from the chain a moment ago at block #157,647.
Supply and emission
BTX front-loads issuance: about half the 21,000,000 cap is mined by the first halving near block 525,000, then each halving cuts the reward in half.
Toward the 21M cap
halving every 525,000 blocksBTX against the benchmark
Bitcoin's monetary design, re-engineered for the quantum era. Same 21M cap and coinbase issuance, different cryptography, hardware and cadence.

The economics of a secure chain
A proof-of-work coin's price is made of components you can compute. Here is what each one measures and the formula behind it. The live figures, priced from public market data, are on the independent btxinfo dashboard.
The dollar value of the work securing BTX each day. It is how a proof-of-work chain is defended: more spend, harder to attack.
GPU-equivalents at the network MatMul rate × open-market GPU-hour rate × 24What it would cost to point a network-sized fleet at BTX for an hour or a day, priced at open-market GPU rental rates.
card-equivalents securing BTX × GPU rental rate × hoursWhat a coin actually costs to mine, including orphans and uptime, and what it costs to replace the one you sold a week later.
production floor × replacement uplift (orphan rate + uptime), doubles at the halvingNetwork value divided by the value moving on-chain each day. Lower NVT means more real usage per dollar of valuation.
market cap ÷ daily on-chain volumeWhat BTX would be worth if the market valued its network defense the way it values other proof-of-work chains.
market cap ÷ annual security budget, benchmarked against BTC, LTC, XMR, BCHHow much BTX could actually be bought once parked and split positions are removed, and how many days of mining equal that shelf.

How BTX is built
Bitcoin Knots v29.2About these stats
Live numbers on this page are computed from the BTX chain itself and refresh about once a minute, so they are accurate right now.
Network economics (security spend, cost to attack, valuation) are computed live by the independent btxinfo dashboard from public market data, with every formula printed next to its number. We do not run btxinfo or btxprice and cannot guarantee their data.
BTX has no established market value and no public order book yet, so any price is a modeled estimate, always labeled as such. Nothing here is financial advice, and mining is never guaranteed income.
