Blockbook

Blockbook is a back-end service for Trezor Suite. The main features of Blockbook are:

• index of addresses and address balances of the connected block chain
• fast index search
• simple blockchain explorer
• websocket, API and legacy Bitcore Insight compatible socket.io interfaces
• support of multiple coins (Bitcoin and Ethereum type) with easy extensibility to other coins
• scripts for easy creation of debian packages for backend and blockbook

Build and installation instructions

Officially supported platform is Debian Linux and AMD64 architecture.

Memory and disk requirements for initial synchronization of Bitcoin mainnet are around 32 GB RAM and over 180 GB of disk space. After initial synchronization, fully synchronized instance uses about 10 GB RAM. Other coins should have lower requirements, depending on the size of their block chain. Note that fast SSD disks are highly recommended.
