About
Statistical information about the Bitcoin Lightning Network, a decentralized system built on the Bitcoin blockchain. The Lightning Network facilitates instant, high-volume, and high-speed payments among participants through smart contract functionality. This dataset is designed for researchers, developers, and data scientists looking to start a data science project or build a machine learning model focused on this payment network.
Columns
- added: The timestamp, recorded in milliseconds, indicating when the record was added.
- channel_count: The total number of available channels in the network.
- total_capacity: The network's total capacity, measured in Satoshis (BTC).
- tor_nodes: The total count of nodes operating on the Lightning Network anonymously via TOR.
- clearnet_nodes: The total count of nodes that expose their public IP address.
- unannounced_nodes: The count of nodes that are only visible to the specific parties involved in their channel.
- clearnet_tor_nodes: The count of nodes running in a dual-stack environment, making some features public and others private.
Distribution
The dataset is provided in a single CSV file named
dataset.csv, with a size of 48.33 kB. It contains 923 valid records across 7 columns.Usage
This dataset is well-suited for analysing trends and patterns within the Bitcoin Lightning Network. It can be used to track the growth of network capacity, the number of channels, and the distribution of different node types over time. The information is valuable for financial analysis, network security research, and developing predictive models related to cryptocurrency infrastructure. It's also easy to subset the data for focusing on specific date ranges.
Coverage
The data provides statistical insights into the global Bitcoin Lightning Network. The temporal coverage for the
added timestamp spans from approximately July 2020 to October 2023. There is no specific geographic or demographic information included as the data pertains to a decentralised digital network.License
