How this service works
Bitcoin chain-tip orphan + valid-fork stream (10min cadence). For exchange confirmation-policy tuning, cross-chain bridge safety windows, finality auditors. branch_length >= 2 = unusual reorg risk.
Output
Returns a stream of Bitcoin chain-tip entries including orphan blocks and valid forks detected via getchaintips polling (10-minute cadence), with branch_length values where branch_length >= 2 indicates elevated reorg risk. Useful for exchange confirmation-policy tuning, cross-chain bridge safety windows, and finality auditing.
Example use cases
Exchange confirmation policy tuning
“Check the Bitcoin chain-tip stream right now and tell me if there are any active forks or orphaned blocks — I want to know if we should be requiring more confirmations before crediting customer deposits given current reorg conditions.”
Cross-chain bridge finality safety
“Before we process the next batch of BTC-to-ETH bridge transactions, pull the latest Bitcoin chain-tip health data and flag any orphan blocks or forks with branch_length of 2 or higher that might mean it's not safe to finalize yet.”
Real-time reorg risk audit
“Run a quick finality audit on the Bitcoin chain for me — stream the current chain-tip data and highlight any unusual fork activity or orphaned blocks so I can decide whether our settlement system should pause withdrawals right now.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.carbon-cashmere.de/v1/btc-derivatives/reorg-streamWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time Bitcoin chain-tip health data specifically for settlement safety decisions, exchange confirmation policy tuning, or cross-chain bridge finality windows. Prefer this over generic blockchain explorers when you need programmatic orphan/fork detection with structured branch_length data at a regular polling cadence for automated systems.
Side effects
- Node polling lag if Bitcoin node is behind — data may be up to 10 minutes stale
- Upstream Bitcoin node unavailability could return empty or error response
- No reorg events present returns an empty or baseline-only stream
- Rate limiting or payment failure for x402 micropayment could block access
