rusty-blockparser is a Bitcoin Blockchain Parser written in Rust language.
It allows extraction of various data types (blocks, transactions, scripts, public keys/hashes, balances, ...) and UTXDO dumps from Bitcoin based blockchains.
Bitcoin, Namecoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Myriadcoin and Unobtanium.
It assumes a local copy of the blockchain with intact block index, downloaded with Bitcoin Core 0.15.1+. If you are not sure whether your local copy is valid you can apply --verify to validate the chain and block merkle trees. If something doesn't match the parser exits.
Callbacks
Callbacks are built on top of the core parser. They can be implemented to extract specific types of information.
balances: dumps all addresses with a non-zero balance.
The csv file is in the following format:
balances.csv
address ; balance
unspentcsvdump: dumps all UTXOs along with the address balance.
The csv file is in the following format:
unspent.csv
txid ; indexOut ; height ; value ; address
NOTE: The total size of the csv dump is at least 8 GiB (height 635000).
csvdump: dumps all parsed data as CSV files into the specified folder. See Usage for an example. I chose CSV dumps instead of an active db-connection because LOAD DATA INFILE is the most performant way for bulk inserts.
The files are in the following format:
blocks.csv
block_hash ; height ; version ; blocksize ; hashPrev ; hashMerkleRoot ; nTime ; nBits ; nNonce
transactions.csv
txid ; hashBlock ; version ; lockTime
tx_in.csv
txid ; hashPrevOut ; indexPrevOut ; scriptSig ; sequence
tx_out.csv
txid ; indexOut ; height ; value ; scriptPubKey ; address
If you want to insert the files into MySql see sql/schema.sql.
It contains all table structures and SQL statements for bulk inserting. Also see sql/views.sql for some query examples.
NOTE: The total size of the csv dump is at least to 731 GiB (height 635000).
simplestats: prints some blockchain statistics like block count, transaction count, avg transactions per block, largest transaction, transaction types etc.
You can also define custom callbacks. A callback gets called at startup, on each block and at the end. See src/callbacks/mod.rs for more information.
Low memory usage
The required memory usage depends on the used callback:
* simplestats: ~100MB
* csvdump: ~100M
* unspentcsvdump: ~18GB
* balances: ~18GB
NOTE: Those values are taken from parsing to block height 639631 (17.07.2020).
Script evaluation
Evaluates and detects P2PK, P2PKH, P2SH and some non-standard transactions.
Resume scans
--start <height> and --end <height> can be passed to resume a scan. However this makes no sense for unspentcsvdump!
This tool runs on Windows, OS X and Linux.
All you need is rust and cargo.
You can download the latest release from crates.io:
bash
cargo install rusty-blockparser
bash
git clone https://github.com/gcarq/rusty-blockparser.git
cd rusty-blockparser
cargo build --release
cargo test --release
./target/release/rusty-blockparser --help
It is important to build with --release, otherwise you will get a horrible performance!
*Tested on Gentoo Linux with rust-stable 1.44.1
``` USAGE: rusty-blockparser [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [SUBCOMMAND]
FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -V, --version Prints version information -v Increases verbosity level. Info=0, Debug=1, Trace=2 (default: 0) --verify Verifies the leveldb index integrity and verifies merkle roots
OPTIONS:
-d, --blockchain-dir
SUBCOMMANDS: balances Dumps all addresses with non-zero balance to CSV file csvdump Dumps the whole blockchain into CSV files help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s) simplestats Shows various Blockchain stats unspentcsvdump Dumps the unspent outputs to CSV file ```
To make a unspentcsvdump of the Bitcoin blockchain your command would look like this:
