Blockchain.info is a popular Bitcoin wallet and block explorer service.[1] Launched in August 2011, the service provides data on recent transactions, mined blocks in the Bitcoin block chain, charts on the Bitcoin economy, and statistics and resources for developers.[2] Information from and links to the website are common in media coverage of Bitcoin and in Bitcoin forums.[3] The website also provides a secure Bitcoin wallet service. The Blockchain.info mobile app for Android allows users to send and receive bitcoins and browse block chain information.[4] In December 2013, the company acquired ZeroBlock LLC, makers of the leading mobile Bitcoin app.[5]

Blockchain.info is the world's most visited Bitcoin website, with over 118 million page views and over 3 million unique visitors in November 2013,[6] and in January 2014 Blockchain.info reached one million user wallets for its wallet service.[3]

In February 2014, Apple removed the Blockchain app from the iOS App Store, prompting a harsh response from Blockchain and public outcry in the Bitcoin community, most notably within the Reddit community.[7][8][9]. In July 2014, Apple reinstated the Blockchain app from the iOS [[App Store (iOS)|App Store].[10]
