what is blockstream explorer?

blockstream.info is the open-source bitcoin explorer from blockstream: blocks, transactions, addresses and liquid network data, built on the esplora codebase anyone can self-host. its hidden service is a veteran of the network - the v3 successor of one of the oldest explorer onions around.

address lookups are the classic privacy leak of explorer use: query an address, and the explorer knows you care about it. the onion closes that hole, and blockstream advertises it through the live onion-location header - the same anti-phishing mechanism tor browser uses to offer ".onion available".

the address tracked here is the header-advertised official one, probed continuously.

before you trust any of this

.onion addresses are long on purpose. one wrong letter = someone else's server.
if a service matters to you, cross-check its address against its own clearnet site or PGP-signed announcements.
a green badge here means "reachable", never "trustworthy". we report reachability only.
