Small & solo mining pools just had their strongest month ever! In June 2026 they mined 168 Bitcoin blocks, up from 133 in May and 90 in June 2025. That is roughly 3.8% of monthly block production. ...

Local node rather than a pool API is what makes this worth reading. The Unknown band is the interesting one: 27.4 percent of the small and solo category is either genuine solo miners or small pools that just do not tag their coinbase, and those two readings say quite different things about how distributed block production actually is. Do you have a way to separate them?

Perps where the whole loop stays in bitcoin.

Margin in sats. PnL in sats. Funding and fees in sats. No token and no stablecoin anywhere in the stack, because if you already think in sats, holding someone else's unit to trade your own asset is a strange way to do it.

No order book either. Orders execute against an oracle-priced counterparty vault, never at the same tick they arrive, so there is no queue position to game.

Public testnet is live on a real BTC-USD tape while the money stays valueless by design. No KYC, no email, no CAPTCHA between your code and a filled order. Break it as hard as you like:
