REACHABLE XBT ENDPOINTS
—XBT NETWORK OBSERVATIONS
Reachable nodes.
Versions in the open.
See the public endpoints responding on the BLAKE2b network and the Knots versions they advertise.

Reachable count over time
Each bar is the last captured source snapshot for that UTC day. Counts are not added together across scans.
Changes can reflect discovery limits, Tor connectivity or crawler conditions as well as nodes joining or leaving. Gaps mean no snapshot was captured. History starts when XBT Pulse begins collecting this feed.
What does this count mean?
The source counts endpoints that completed a peer-to-peer handshake and advertised the BLAKE2b service flag. A Knots name by itself is not enough. XBT Pulse checks the feed’s schema, service flags and aggregate consistency before saving a snapshot.
One node can be reachable over more than one address or network; one operator can run many nodes. This is not a count of unique machines, people, miners or votes. Private nodes and nodes behind firewalls may be invisible. Advertised service flags do not independently prove which chain a node validates.
IPv4, IPv6 and Tor are shown separately. Zero IPv6 observations means none in this scan, not that the network has no IPv6 nodes. We do not republish individual IP or onion addresses.
We check the public feed every 15 minutes. Observations older than two hours are labeled stale; failed refreshes preserve the last dated snapshot with an unavailable warning. A partial scan or a reached candidate limit is shown explicitly.
