The Bitcoin Full Node Sculpture is a cypherpunk chronometer, designed to work as a fully-functioning bitcoin full node and block explorer. Modeled after the ancient navigation tool, the astrolabe, it acts as a compass for the humble bitcoiner to set to True North.

Visualizing the clock-and-calendar-like nature of bitcoin stretching over 132 years, the sculpture represents a digital metronome ticking endlessly in the halls of time and space. This cyber-metronome ticks at a steady pace of “Every 10 Minutes”, as this is in perfect harmony with bitcoin-time. Like the bitcoin software itself, the sculpture is a tool for personal growth, a tool that connects us to the community, a full circle. Also like the bitcoin software, the design evolves with each new version.

The sculpture represents a snapshot of a moment in Bitcoin-Time. In Version 7.0 the Node is set to bitcoin block height 630,000. This is a significant block height in bitcoin history. Block 630,000 is the first block of the 3rd halving epoch. It’s the first block with a 6.25 BTC per block “Block Reward” and the first block ever in the history of bitcoin in the “Single Digit” reward era.
