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 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

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)

Usage

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"]])
