Roadmap: From REST API to Bitcoin Data Suite

[Bortlesboat]

Satoshi API started as a REST wrapper for Bitcoin Core RPC. The long-term vision is bigger: a complete, self-hosted Bitcoin data platform.

Where we are now (v0.3.1)

• 48 REST endpoints (blocks, transactions, fees, mempool, mining, network, addresses)
• Real-time SSE streams (new blocks, fee updates)
• MCP server for AI agent integration
• Self-hosted, pip installable, Apache-2.0

What's next

v0.4 — Monitoring & Ops

• Prometheus /metrics endpoint (Add Prometheus /metrics endpoint #4)
• Umbrel/Start9 app store packages (Add Docker Compose example for Umbrel/Start9 #6)
• Webhook notifications (Add webhook notifications for new blocks #5)

v0.5 — Data Layer

• Full address transaction history (Add /api/v1/address/{addr}/txs (transaction history) #7)
• Web explorer UI (Web explorer UI (read-only block explorer) #8)
• PostgreSQL backend option (PostgreSQL backend option #9)

v1.0 — Bitcoin Data Suite

• Lightning Network data (LND/CLN integration)
• Historical analytics and charts
• Multi-node support
• Plugin system for custom data sources
