UTXO.live: A Visualization of Bitcoin UTXO Sets

UTXO.live is a website created by Steve that provides a visualization of the Bitcoin Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) sets throughout time. The UTXO sets represent the chunks of Bitcoin being sent and received in transactions. The visualization shows the size of the UTXO chunks (y-axis) and the date (x-axis). The color density indicates the number of chunks at a specific size and time. As chunks are spent, they disappear from the chart, resulting in a decrease in brightness in that region. The website offers a fascinating way to observe the distribution of UTXO sizes throughout Bitcoin's history.
