The Bitcoin Network as Data Driven Geometry — Real On-Chain Data in 3D

The Bitcoin Network as Data Driven Geometry An interactive 3D visualization of the Bitcoin network across 105 historically significant dates — from Genesis (January 3, 2009) through the present. Every shape, ring, particle, and block maps to a real on-chain metric. What the geometry means

Center spine — each cuboid is one real block; width = block weight (up to 4 MWU), brightness = transaction count.

Fee tier rings — four horizontal arcs showing fee distribution by sat/vB tier.

Settlement ring — arc length tracks block production health (full circle = on-schedule 10-minute intervals).

Congestion ring — red arc, length scales with mempool pressure.

Volume ring — gold arc proportional to daily BTC transferred vs the 2021 ATH (~4.6M BTC/day).

Hashrate ring — vertical ring, arc length vs the ~1,305 EH/s peak.

Difficulty ring — log-scaled vertical ring from 1 to 150 trillion.

Floating particles — each particle ≈ 1,000 active addresses; larger = whale activity (100+ BTC outputs).

Data sources

Hashrate, active addresses, fees, block count: CoinMetrics (community tier).

Difficulty, mempool depth: blockchain.com public charts.

Per-block data, BTC transferred, whale outputs: Google BigQuery crypto_bitcoin dataset.
