Mempool.space Self-Host Hosting
Mempool.space is the most polished open-source Bitcoin block explorer and mempool visualizer. Self-hosting gives you private fee estimation, your own API endpoint, and freedom from third-party rate limits. AnubizHost hosts mempool.space on archival Bitcoin Core infrastructure from $140/mo.
Need this done for your project?
We implement, you ship. Async, documented, done in days.
Why Self-Host
Public mempool.space is free and unrestricted today, but private fee estimation has real value: your wallet client tells the public service which fee tier you care about, which can be a metadata leak. Self-hosting eliminates this. You also get full API access without rate limits.
Stack
Bitcoin Core archival + Electrs or Esplora indexer + mempool.space frontend + MariaDB. We deploy via the project's official Docker Compose with our hardening tweaks.
Lightning Network Views
If you run a Lightning node on the same server, mempool.space displays your own LN node statistics, channel graph, and routing fee analytics. Useful for operators tracking their own routing performance.
Resource Sizing
The Mempool stack is the heaviest workload in this cluster. 16GB RAM is recommended baseline; 32GB upgrade gives smoother UI under heavy concurrent users. NVMe storage is essential - the indexer is heavily IOPS-bound.
