Timechain Grid
of Bitcoin.
“Timechain” was Satoshi’s name for the blockchain — a chain of timestamped blocks. Here it is, the fixed map it always was: every coin a tile, every block a ring from Satoshi, the ledger legible in your browser. Public to watch, private to use.
Bitcoin's issuance is final. Twenty-one million coins, no more, no less. Timechain Grid makes the map observable to anyone with a browser — and observable to no one but you.
A tile per coin
Every BTC ever mined occupies one cell. Block 0 opens the first 50 cells around Satoshi. Each block after opens more, swirling outward.
Forever stationary
A coin's tile never moves. Once minted, its coordinate is fixed for the rest of chain history. Bookmark a tile; come back any time.
Players occupy
Wallets are players, coins are property. Hover a tile to see who owns it. Tap to light up their full territory across the map.
Genesis to today
Press play. The lattice expands block by block, halvings flash by, the modern map emerges from the genesis kernel.
Halving epochs
Click any halving to scrub the map to that moment in chain history. Each halving cuts the new-tile rate in half — 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.125 BTC per block — so the grid grows in slowing waves.
Ready
Open the map. Watch it grow.
Genesis to today, block by block. Pan, zoom, hover. Click any tile to see its owner's territory.
