| # Counterparty (XCP) Assets Dataset |
|
|
| A complete snapshot of all assets issued on the **Counterparty** protocol — the token/NFT layer built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. |
|
|
| ## What is Counterparty? |
|
|
| [Counterparty](https://counterparty.io) is a decentralized protocol built on Bitcoin that enables token creation, NFTs, and decentralized exchange. It encodes data in Bitcoin's `OP_RETURN` outputs. Counterparty is one of the oldest token protocols in existence (launched 2014) and is the home of iconic early NFTs including Rare Pepes and Spells of Genesis cards. |
|
|
| Key features: |
| - **Token issuance**: Create named tokens (e.g. `RAREPEPE`, `PEPECASH`) |
| - **NFTs**: Non-divisible tokens with on-chain or IPFS-linked artwork |
| - **DEX**: Peer-to-peer decentralized exchange native to the protocol |
| - **Subassets**: Hierarchical asset naming (e.g. `PEPE.FEELSGOODMAN`) |
| - **Native currency**: XCP used for protocol operations |
|
|
| ## Dataset Contents |
|
|
| | Column | Type | Description | |
| |--------|------|-------------| |
| | `asset` | string | Asset name (e.g. `RAREPEPE`, `A12345678901234567`) | |
| | `asset_longname` | string | Subasset long name if applicable (e.g. `PEPE.FEELSGOODMAN`) | |
| | `issuer` | string | Address that currently owns the issuance rights | |
| | `source` | string | Bitcoin address that created the asset | |
| | `quantity` | int64 | Initial issued quantity (base units; divide by 1e8 if divisible) | |
| | `divisible` | bool | Whether the asset has 8 decimal places | |
| | `locked` | bool | Whether the supply is permanently locked | |
| | `description` | string | Asset description (often URL to metadata/IPFS artwork) | |
| | `mime_type` | string | MIME type hint if set (e.g. `image/png`, `text/plain`) | |
| | `fair_minting` | bool | Whether the asset uses fair minting (open mint) | |
| | `callable` | bool | Whether the issuer can force-recall tokens | |
| | `block_index` | int64 | Bitcoin block height when the asset was first issued | |
| | `tx_hash` | string | Bitcoin transaction hash of the creation event | |
| | `status` | string | Issuance status (always `valid` in this dataset) | |
|

| ## Statistics |
|
|
| - **Data source**: [public.coindaddy.io](https://public.coindaddy.io) Counterparty JSON-RPC API |
| - **Snapshot date**: February 2026 |
| - **Protocol launch**: January 2014 |
|
|
| ## Usage |
|
|
| ```python |
| from datasets import load_dataset |
| |
| ds = load_dataset("ArchibaldAI/counterparty-assets", split="train") |
| df = ds.to_pandas() |
| |
| # Find Rare Pepe series assets |
| rare_pepes = df[df["asset"].str.contains("PEPE", na=False)] |
| print(f"{len(rare_pepes)} PEPE-related assets") |
| |
| # Find subassets (long names) |
| subassets = df[df["asset_longname"].str.len() > 0] |
| print(f"{len(subassets)} subassets") |
| |
| # Find non-divisible (NFT-style) assets with descriptions |
| nfts = df[(df["divisible"] == False) & (df["description"].str.len() > 0)] |
| print(f"{len(nfts)} NFT-style assets") |
| |
| # Earliest assets (Counterparty genesis era) |
| early = df.sort_values("block_index").head(20) |
| print(early[["asset", "block_index", "source"]]) |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Notable Assets |
|
|
| Some historically significant Counterparty assets: |
| - **PEPECASH** — The Rare Pepe ecosystem's trading currency |
| - **RAREPEPE** — Iconic early Bitcoin NFT project |
| - **SJCX** — Storj token (migrated to ERC-20 later) |
| - **BITCRYSTALS** — Spells of Genesis in-game currency |
