# 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
