Observed network data, downloadable samples and reproducible calculations. Every chart states what was measured and what it cannot tell you.
New recovery experiments: missing history, older backups and address ranges, with measured balances and a downloadable source repository.
Collection began: 23 Sep 2026, 23:48 UTC. Network snapshots are scheduled every 15 minutes. The live snapshot archive below uses third-party APIs. Each frozen report identifies its own source, including our Litecoin Core node; recalculating its export is not a second node’s independent verification.
Filter by evidence type, topic or report date. Each entry names the software or model and the limits of its evidence. Models, source-function tests and mainnet observations answer different questions. No independent reviewer is implied.
Citations credit Litecoin.watch as the research producer. The date identifies the report or frozen snapshot; the version identifies its software and release. Citation files preserve that metadata even when a live tool changes.
One Coinbase snapshot had a 6.99 bp spread but its €10,000 buy replay cost 231.48 bp above its midpoint; every recorded case had enough retained visible depth.
392 capture rounds / 1,176 raw public books from 30 September–4 October UTC; 7,056 amount/direction replays reconstructed. Visible-level arithmetic, not submitted trades, total account costs, simultaneous venue quotes or a future ranking.

At one ending block, 30/120/576-block windows returned 3.434/2.956/2.945 PH/s, a 16.57% largest-to-smallest difference.
601 frozen headers and 30/120/576-block estimates at height 3,189,039. Reconstructed expected work/header time, not hardware telemetry or a causal test of miner departures.
One 0.2 LTC entry supplied 9.74% of fees; removing it lowered the base-chain sample mean from 4643.08 to 4190.70 litoshis.
144 fixed mainnet blocks, subsidy/fees/coinbase reconciliation and MWEB decomposition. Header-time window; no payer identity, live quote, DOGE income or mining-profit audit.
A marketable 2 LTC limit at 60.10 bought 1.5 immediately. GTC retained 0.5, IOC cancelled it and FOK bought nothing in the declared book.
12 synthetic matching scenarios and two FIFO queue events. Declared prices, fees and future events; no actual exchange order, live book or engine audit.
A historical version-5 P2SH address and its modern LTC encoding produced the same script; syntax did not establish the intended chain or recipient.
18 synthetic fixtures, 36 address checks in disconnected mainnet-mode and regtest Core, height zero and wallets disabled. No transfer, ownership, service-credit or recovery test.
A one-input send-max candidate delivered 0.99999780 LTC from 1 LTC; the exact-full-balance construction failed before broadcasting.
24 controlled constructions with explicit equal 1 LTC budgets. 18 signed candidates policy-tested, six rejected and one sweep mined; no mainnet fee recommendation.
Frozen prices and difficulty; manufacturer specifications, not wall-power measurements. Cooling and extra merged coins excluded from the published base model.

Provider's rolling 24-hour average fee
Average transaction fee reported for the preceding 24 hours. Hourly means of available snapshots; breaks over one hour are left open. Download the underlying observations below.
These are overlapping snapshots. Averaging the displayed fee values does not produce a transaction-weighted fee for the whole period. A provider's mempool is one view of the network.
Block timestamp intervals
Differences between timestamps in adjacent recorded block headers. Miner-set timestamps are not stopwatch measurements of confirmation time.

Each collection requests the latest 100 blocks. The initial window may include blocks mined before collection began; their first retrieval time is retained. Missing heights are excluded from adjacent-interval calculations. The most recent 100 heights are rechecked for changed hashes; deep reorganizations outside that window may be missed.
A reproducible fee-size experiment
How much does consolidating many inputs change the size of a standard native SegWit payment? The model below assumes P2WPKH inputs, two P2WPKH outputs and an illustrative fee rate of 1 litoshi/vB. This is a size calculation, not a live fee quote.

Estimated vbytes = ceil(10.5 + 68 × inputs + 31 × outputs). Actual signatures and transaction construction can change the result.
Our separate mainnet observer study records a fixed sample of newly observed mempool transactions, their matched block inclusions, open waits and collection gaps. Its page shows node synchronization and collection status. Block timestamps in this archive remain a different measurement.
MWEB private transfer amounts, individual users and merchant sales are not inferred from these snapshots. Missing values remain missing.
