|
||||
## What It Enables
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
Compute 1000+ on-chain metrics from indexed blockchain data: supply breakdowns, realized/unrealized P&L, SOPR, MVRV, cohort analysis (by age, amount, address type), cointime economics, mining pool attribution, and price-weighted valuations.
|
||||
|
||||
This crate provides a sophisticated analytics engine that processes indexed Bitcoin blockchain data to compute comprehensive metrics, financial analytics, and statistical aggregations. Built on top of `brk_indexer`, it transforms raw blockchain data into actionable insights through state tracking, cohort analysis, market metrics, and advanced Bitcoin-specific calculations.
|
||||
## Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Features:**
|
||||
- **Cohort metrics**: Filter by UTXO age (STH/LTH, age bands), amount ranges, address types
|
||||
- **Stateful computation**: Track per-UTXO cost basis, realized/unrealized states
|
||||
- **Multi-index support**: Metrics available by height, date, week, month, year, decade
|
||||
- **Price integration**: USD-denominated metrics when price data available
|
||||
- **Mining pool attribution**: Tag blocks/rewards to known pools
|
||||
- **Cointime economics**: Liveliness, vaultedness, activity-weighted metrics
|
||||
- **Incremental updates**: Resume from checkpoints, compute only new blocks
|
||||
|
||||
- Comprehensive Bitcoin analytics pipeline with 6 major computation modules
|
||||
- UTXO and address cohort analysis with lifecycle tracking
|
||||
- Market metrics integration with price data and financial calculations
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
- Bitcoin market analysis and research platforms
|
||||
- On-chain analytics for investment and trading decisions
|
||||

"./analytics_output",
|
||||
&indexer,
|

|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use brk_computer::Computer;
|
||||
use brk_types::{DateIndex, Height};
|
||||
|
||||
let computer = Computer::forced_import(/* ... */)?;
|
||||
|
||||
// Access market metrics after computation
|
||||
if let Some(market) = &computer.market {
|
||||
// Daily market cap analysis
|
||||
let date_index = DateIndex::from_days_since_genesis(5000);
|
||||
if let Some(market_cap) = market.dateindex_to_market_cap.get(date_index)? {
|
||||
println!("Market cap on day {}: ${}", date_index, market_cap.to_dollars());
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) ratio
|
||||
if let Some(mvrv) = market.dateindex_to_mvrv.get(date_index)? {
|
||||
println!("MVRV ratio: {:.2}", mvrv);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Chain-level metrics
|
||||
let height = Height::new(800000);
|
||||
if let Some(difficulty) = computer.chain.height_to_difficulty.get(height)? {
|
||||
println!("Network difficulty at height {}: {}", height, difficulty);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Cohort Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use brk_computer::Computer;
|
||||
use brk_types::{DateIndex, CohortId};
|
||||
|
||||
let computer = Computer::forced_import(/* ... */)?;
|
||||
|
||||
// Address cohort analysis
|
||||
let cohort_date = DateIndex::from_days_since_genesis(4000);
|
||||
|
||||
// Analyze address behavior patterns
|
||||
if let Some(address_cohorts) = &computer.stateful.address_cohorts {
|
||||
for cohort_id in address_cohorts.get_cohort_ids_for_date(cohort_date)? {
|
||||
let cohort_data = address_cohorts.get_cohort(cohort_id)?;
|
||||
|
||||
println!("Cohort {}: {} addresses created",
|
||||
cohort_id, cohort_data.addresses.len());
|
||||
println!("Average holding period: {} days",
|
||||
cohort_data.avg_holding_period.as_days());
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// UTXO cohort lifecycle analysis
|
||||
if let Some(utxo_cohorts) = &computer.stateful.utxo_cohorts {
|
||||
let active_utxos = utxo_cohorts.get_active_utxos_for_date(cohort_date)?;

|
||||
use brk_types::{Height, DateIndex};
|
||||
|
||||
let computer = Computer::forced_import(/* ... */)?;
|
||||
|
||||
// Supply dynamics
|
||||
let height = Height::new(750000);
|
||||
if let Some(supply) = computer.chain.height_to_circulating_supply.get(height)? {
|
||||
println!("Circulating supply: {} BTC", supply.to_btc());
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Realized vs unrealized analysis
|
||||
let date = DateIndex::from_days_since_genesis(5000);
|

let unrealized_pnl = market_cap - realized_cap;
|
||||
println!("Unrealized P&L: ${:.2}B", unrealized_pnl.to_dollars() / 1e9);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
### Computation Pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
The computer implements a sophisticated multi-stage pipeline:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Index Computation**: Fundamental blockchain metrics and time-based indexes
|
||||
2. **Constants Computation**: Network parameters and protocol constants
|
||||
3. **Price Integration**: Optional price data fetching and processing
|
||||
4. **Parallel Computation**: Chain, market, pools, stateful, and cointime analytics
|
||||
5. **Cross-Dependencies**: Advanced metrics requiring multiple data sources
|
||||
|
||||
### Memory Management
|
||||
|
||||
**Allocation Tracking:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `allocative` integration for memory usage analysis
|
||||
- Efficient vector storage with compression options
|
||||
- Strategic lazy vs. eager evaluation for memory optimization
|
||||
|
||||
**Performance Optimization:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `rayon` parallel processing for CPU-intensive calculations
|
||||
- Vectorized operations for time-series computations
|
||||
- Memory-mapped storage for large datasets
|
||||
|
||||
### State Management
|
||||
|
||||
**Stateful Analytics:**
|
||||
|
||||
- UTXO lifecycle tracking with creation/destruction events
|
||||
- Address cohort analysis with behavioral clustering
|
||||
- Transaction pattern recognition and anomaly detection
|
||||
- Economic cycle analysis with market phase detection
|
||||
|
||||
**Cointime Economics:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Bitcoin days destroyed and accumulated calculations
|
||||
- Velocity measurements and economic activity indicators
|
||||
- Age-weighted value transfer analysis
|
||||
- Long-term holder vs. active trader segmentation
|
||||
|
||||
### Modular Design
|
||||
|
||||
Each computation module operates independently:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Chain Module**: Basic blockchain metrics (fees, difficulty, hashrate)
|
||||
- **Market Module**: Price-dependent financial calculations
|
||||
- **Pools Module**: Mining centralization and pool analysis
|
||||
- **Stateful Module**: Advanced lifecycle and behavior tracking
|
||||
- **Cointime Module**: Economic time-value calculations
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
**Required Dependencies:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `brk_indexer`: Raw blockchain data access
|
||||
- `brk_types`: Type definitions and conversions
|
||||
|
||||
**Optional Dependencies:**
|
||||
|
||||
- `brk_fetcher`: Price data for financial metrics
|
||||
- Market analysis requires price integration
|
||||
|
||||
### Computation Orchestration
|
||||
|
||||
**Sequential Stages:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Indexes → Constants (foundational metrics)
|
||||
2. Fetched → Price (price data processing)
|
||||
3. Parallel: Chain, Market, Pools, Stateful, Cointime
|
||||
|
||||
**Exit Handling:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Graceful shutdown with consistent state preservation
|
||||
- Checkpoint-based recovery for long-running computations
|
||||
- Multi-threaded coordination with exit signaling
|
||||
|
||||
