TX::Watch: Real-Time Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash Transaction Visualizer

Discover TX::Watch, a live Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash visualizer for observed transactions, blocks, fees, and transaction signals.

TX::Watch turns observed Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash transactions into a live visual stream. It is designed to make network activity easier to inspect without pretending that a browser animation is a complete block explorer.

What the screen shows

BTC and BCH have separate lanes. Each particle represents a transaction observed by the live feed, with size and color cues for value. Block events cross the lane as confirmation markers.

The session ledger accumulates:

  • observed transaction count and native value;
  • estimated miner fees and a contemporaneous USD conversion;
  • transaction shapes such as consolidations and batched payouts;
  • high-value transactions;
  • CashFusion markers and CashToken activity when the parser can identify them.

These are browser-session totals. Reloading or closing the page starts a new observation window, and activity missed during a disconnection is not reconstructed.

How classification works

The app parses transaction inputs and outputs through a shared analysis pipeline. It can infer shapes from counts and values, identify the canonical CashFusion marker, and decode CashToken prefixes with Libauth.

Those labels are observations, not identities or intent. A many-output transaction may be a batch payment, an exchange withdrawal, or something else. A high USD value may include change. A protocol marker can establish a format without proving who participated.

Data sources and limits

Transaction and block events arrive through the Blockchain.com Socket API. Mempool and fee statistics use Blockchair's stats API. Market prices come from CoinGecko, while CashToken metadata and on-chain context can use Paytaca's BCMR indexer and Chaingraph.

Each source has a different update interval and failure mode. Websocket messages can be missed, API data can be stale, metadata can be absent or conflicting, and USD totals depend on the price available when an event is processed.

TX::Watch is therefore best read as a live sample. Use a full node or established explorer when you need authoritative transaction status, complete history, or consensus validation.

Use it as a question generator

The visualizer is most useful when it prompts a better question: Why did the mempool grow? Was that large value mostly change? Did a block clear the fee bands? What distinguishes a token transfer from ordinary BCH?

For controlled experiments with demand and capacity, use Blockspace Lab. For a token-focused view, open TokenWatch.
