The state of the internet's infrastructure
Who runs the internet's DNS, email and certificates, and how much of it answers on IPv6 - measured across 1,991,406 domains we scan continuously, as of 2026-10-27. Not a survey and not an estimate: a direct count, each domain a signed observation.
Provable
Every number here rolls up observations we continuously scan and Ed25519-sign,
then anchor on Base - a signature proves attribution and integrity, added trust, not a claim
that a number is beyond question. Open a domain's signed record, take a receipt id from it, then paste that id into the verifier: it checks the Ed25519 signature and resolves that window's root from Base. Both checks run in your own browser, against published keys.
