Blockonomics is a Bitcoin payment gateway and blockchain explorer that enables merchants to accept Bitcoin payments directly into their own wallets. Founded with a decentralized philosophy, the service never takes custody of user funds or holds private keys, instead generating new receiving addresses from the merchant's extended public key (xpub) to route payments directly to wallets the merchant already controls.

The platform provides e-commerce plugins for popular platforms including WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, and PrestaShop, making it straightforward for online businesses to add Bitcoin payment options. Blockonomics also offers a peer-to-peer invoicing service that allows freelancers and contractors to bill clients in any fiat currency while receiving payment in Bitcoin, with dynamic price adjustment at the time of payment.

Key Features

• Wallet Watcher — Monitor individual addresses or entire HD wallets using extended public keys, with transaction notifications via email and push alerts
• Payment API — Generate receiving addresses and receive real-time websocket and HTTP callback notifications for incoming transactions
• Block Explorer — Search and view Bitcoin transactions, addresses, and blocks with a clean interface
