Network
Explore node participation, mining, and the sources behind network information.
Live DNS Network Observations
Compare peer-discovery responses from five public trackers. Counts describe sampled IP addresses, and do not establish the total number of active nodes.
Loading DNS observations…
| Seed / Tracker | Authoritative DNS | Recursive DNS |

Service-filtered observations
Filters may return overlapping samples. Capability meanings and filter support remain unconfirmed; empty answers do not establish unsupported filters.

Retained observations are marked when a query fails. Data older than its DNS TTL is identified separately. DNS discovery does not verify chain identity or synchronization.

Mining
Find solo-mining commands and the algorithm reference, with links to the project software.
Node Software
Find reference-node source, release information, and project documentation.
Supply Observations
See the recorded money supply and update time on the CERM page.
Bitmark Blockchain Explorers
Inspect blocks, transactions, and addresses using either explorer. Compare their chain observations and update times when checking network activity.
Bitmark Explorer
View recent blocks, recorded supply, per-algorithm mining metrics, and historical plots.
Chainz / CryptoID
Use another explorer to inspect Bitmark blocks, transactions, addresses, and distribution information.
Public Node Trackers and DNS Seeds
Five public trackers help nodes discover Bitmark peers. Each seed domain returns IP addresses selected by its tracker.
| DNS Seed Domain | Tracker Host |
|---|---|
btmk.bitmark.guru | us.bitmark.io |
btmk.openmarks.com | radiant.dsmx.com |
shiba.zmark.org | dns.intersim.com |
ra.zmark.org | ns3105824.ip-54-36-179.eu |
da.bitmark.guru | ns3122128.ip-51-83-11.eu |
Service-filtered Discovery
The trackers for btmk.bitmark.guru, btmk.openmarks.com, and shiba.zmark.org also provide service-filtered names, such as x9.btmk.bitmark.guru and x400.shiba.zmark.org, for discovering peers that advertise particular service bits.
The dashboard above shows DNS response health, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses observed per seed, and service-filtered observations, with collection times. These observations describe the peers returned by each tracker; counts can overlap and do not establish the total number of active nodes or their synchronization state.
Network Verification
Node connectivity, chain identity, and synchronization are separate checks. The reference software documents blockchain and peer RPCs; use observations from independent nodes when comparing network state.

The DNS dashboard reports peer-discovery observations. The explorers provide block and mining information; bringing recent blocks, per-algorithm metrics, and independent chain comparisons into this portal is the next stage.
