Bitcoin Knots (BLAKE2b) Node
The node this network runs. Version 29.4.2 or later enforces the current rules, including long coinbase maturity. Install script and reference config in our repository.

Pools, software and services
What exists on Bitcoin BLAKE2b today: the pools mining it, the software you can run, and the public services anyone can use. Listing is not endorsement — the pool table is read from the chain, and the rest is here because it is open and in use.
Live from the chain
Pool directory
Every pool that found a block in the last seven days, identified by the tags its coinbase carries. "DATUM" means its blocks show miner-built templates; "stratum only" means the pool builds every template itself.
| Pool | Type | Share (7d) | Blocks (7d) | Est. hashrate | Gateways |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Loading the live directory… it is also on the galaxy map. | |||||
Want the whole picture, including solo miners and every gateway? The galaxy map draws all of it, block by block.
Run it yourself
Software
Everything below is open source and runs on ordinary hardware.
DATUM gateway Mining
What miners run here: it sits beside your node, builds your templates and talks to a pool's Prime. Several forks support this chain: CONVOY, iohzrd and FlyTheElephant, plus the Rust lazarus-gateway.
Lazarus Prime Pool server
The pool side of DATUM, in Rust: verifies shares, issues the coinbase split, keeps the TIDES window and pays every miner inside the block that earned it.
Read the source →Explorer Chain
A mempool-style explorer built for this chain's headers, with a public REST API and websocket for live blocks and transactions.
API docs →Electrum server Wallets
Public endpoint for wallets that speak Electrum protocol 1.8 and understand 164-byte headers.
electrum.lazarus-xbt.xyz:50002:sMCP server AI
Live pool and chain data for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Point Claude or ChatGPT at it and ask about blocks, miners or payouts in plain language.

Services
| Service | Endpoint | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Block explorer | mempool.lazarus-xbt.xyz | REST API and websocket, free to use. |
| Electrum | electrum.lazarus-xbt.xyz:50002:s | SSL, protocol 1.8, for wallets. |
| MCP | mcp.lazarus-xbt.xyz/mcp | Chain and pool data for AI assistants. |
| Galaxy map data | lazarus-xbt.xyz/map/data.json | The model behind the map, as JSON. |
Mining endpoints belong to the pools that run them: Lazarus publishes its DATUM and stratum addresses, fees and setup instructions on the pool site.
Older awokenlazarus.xyz addresses continue to work; the names above are the ones to use from here on.

Discord
Where miners, gateway operators and the people running the pool actually talk. Best place for help with a rig that will not behave.

AwokenLazarus/Bitcoin →Trading XBT. Third-party markets exist for this chain's coin; none are run by or affiliated with Lazarus, and listing one here is not a recommendation. Check the ticker carefully before sending anything, and treat every exchange as a place you do not keep coins.
