Bitcoin Time
A blockchain clock that displays the current Bitcoin block height and time. Built on the BSV blockchain using the Whatsonchain API.
About this project
Bitcoin Time is a real-time blockchain clock that displays the current Bitcoin block height alongside conventional time. The idea came from the Bitcoin community's habit of referencing "block time" — the block number when something happened — as a timestamp that's immutable and universally verifiable.
The app polls the Whatsonchain API to fetch the latest block data from the BSV blockchain, then renders it in a clean, glanceable interface. It's built as a Progressive Web App so you can install it on your phone's home screen and check block height the same way you'd check the time.
The tech stack is Nuxt 4 with server-side rendering for fast initial loads, the Whatsonchain REST API for blockchain data, and PWA support via a service worker for offline caching and installability. The design keeps it minimal — the block height is the hero element, with conventional time as a secondary reference.
