PlutoHash: a New Tool for Blockchain Analysis with Python

2 min readMar 12, 2021

Since the genesis block of Bitcoin many people intuited how much this technology would influence the concept of distributed databases. Others, more skeptical, took a few more years to realize it. In any case, today no one would bet against this technology, which is revolutionizing the way of doing business in more and more industries. The value added by blockchain is not only about the immutability of data and the decentralization of processes, but it is also a huge source of data from which extract information for different uses. At PlutoHash we are sure that this mass of data will be one of the drivers for the growth of the blockchain economy.

About Us and Our Mission

PlutoHash was born as an idea in January 2021; from team formation, it only took a few months to build a beta platform of our service.

Our mission is to create the largest community of data scientists and tech enthusiasts to drive exponential growth in the blockchain analysis industry. We believe that decentralizing knowledge and tools is the best approach to create value in an increasingly interconnected world.

Bitcoin Blockchain Analysis with Python

As a first step, we decided to focus on the queen of all cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin. We host a full node bitcoin so data scientists using our service will have the ability to access all the information contained in the blockchain. After logging into the platform, they will be able to perform any kind of analysis on a Jupyter Notebook with the BlockSci libraries already installed (built specifically for blockchain analysis).

We’re currently in a beta testing phase, so if you’re interested in getting your hands dirty with Python all you have to do is register for free with our service: PlutoHash Beta.

Below is a screenshot of how you can run an analysis of fees paid per transaction with just a few lines of code.
