A Litecoin fork of Bitcoin Research Kit (BRK).
Open-source Litecoin data toolkit that can parse blocks, index the chain, compute metrics, serve data, and render it — all from a Litecoin Core node. It combines what on-chain analytics providers and block explorers do separately into a single self-hostable package, with historical USD pricing from exchange data (Bitfinex and Coinbase) and live price from your mempool.
litview is the official free hosted instance of LRK.
Zero external dependencies. LRK needs only a Litecoin Core node. 8,000+ metrics across 15 time resolutions, all computed locally from your own copy of the blockchain. Historical LTC/USD prices are built in (Bitfinex back to 2013, Coinbase from 2016), with live price from your mempool. Your node, your data.
Blockchain: Blocks, transactions, addresses, UTXOs — including MWEB (MimbleWimble Extension Blocks).
Metrics: Supply distributions, holder cohorts, network activity, fee markets, mining, and market indicators.
Indexes: Date, height, halving epoch, address type, UTXO age.
Mempool: Fee estimation, projected blocks, unconfirmed transactions.
Mining pools: Pool attribution from the litecoinspace mining-pool list.
Browse metrics and charts at litview.space, no signup required.

LRK must be built with the litecoin Cargo feature so the MWEB-aware block/transaction decoder is selected at compile time. A default (Bitcoin) build will fail to index once it reaches the first MWEB block.
git clone https://github.com/IndigoNakamoto/lrk.git && cd lrk
cargo install --locked --path crates/brk_cli --features litecoin
brk --chain litecoinRun your own website and API. All you need is Litecoin Core with server=1.
Disk space: Plan for ~375 GB total — ~250 GB for a full Litecoin Core node plus ~125 GB for LRK's index and computed metrics. LRK uses sparse files; tools like
ls -lor Finder report the logical file size, not actual disk usage. Usedu -shto see real usage.
cargo add brk --features litecoinBuild custom applications in Rust. Use the full stack or individual components (parser, indexer, computer, server).
