Live since 2026-08-09 17:20:11 UTC. Every number above is an exact count over the same database Explorer and Live Map read, never an estimate. Some pages are refreshed on a schedule rather than on every visit (Records every ten minutes, Heartbeat every minute, Open data once a day) and say so. Node counts only, never identities.
