- Block-height calculations follow Bitcoin's 210,000-block subsidy schedule and integer satoshi rounding.
- Year mode converts calendar years to approximate heights using 52,560 blocks per year; actual halving dates depend on block production.
- Issued supply is nominal subsidy issuance and does not estimate lost, burned or inaccessible bitcoin.
