I · Atmosphere — real telemetry, public XRP Ledger network

Watch a real ledger breathe, and glow, and shift with its mood.

Where the blockchain is portrayed as art.

Brük is one living instrument with five movements: an atmosphere that shifts with the network's mood, a network spanning the globe, a current of whale-sized payments, a cascade of falling value, and the full flow of every payment of any size. All five read the same real XRP Ledger, live, right now. No exchange feed, no delayed API, nothing mocked — the actual ledger, rendered like weather.

I Atmosphere · ribbon color and motion driven by real network load
Open Aurora Ledger on its own page →

And behind the weather, a real body: the actual validators, actually spread across the actual planet.

II Topology · real geolocated validators, real consensus pulses
Open The World Ledger on its own page →

That's the whole network, spread across the real earth. Now watch where its biggest single payments actually go.

III Payments · every glow is a real validated transfer ≥ 50,000 XRP
Please click on any orb.
Open Whale Reef on its own page →

Whale Reef only glows for the biggest single payments. The network's actual heartbeat — every ledger close, every drop of value settling — never stops, whale-sized or not. Watch it fall.

IV Pulse · every drop is a real ledger close, every ripple a real payment settling

That fall is the pulse of the whole ledger, but every drop in it is one real payment settling. Now watch every single one, any size, sender to receiver, ring its own chime.

V Flow · every real settled payment, any size, sender to receiver — each one rings its own chime

Five lenses, one ledger. Here's the proof, and what happens if you want to keep watching.

VI · Proof

One real ledger. Five ways to feel it.

Atmosphere, Topology, Payments, Pulse, and Flow aren't five different products — they're five honest renderings of the exact same live feed. Brük keeps a persistent connection open to the public XRPL peer-to-peer network and re-streams what it sees, labeled exactly as it is.

01

Subscribe to the network

A backend service opens a WebSocket to a public rippled/clio node (xrplcluster.com) and subscribes to the ledger and transactions streams — the same feed validators use.

02

Translate into vitals — five ways

The same ledger close becomes a drop down the cascade, a ripple through the reef, a shift in the aurora's color, and a pulse across the globe. The same validated Payment always rings its own chime on the flow ring, and — if it's whale-sized — lights up the whale feed and the reef at once too. One event, five honest renderings.

03

Stream it to you

Your browser holds a live event stream to the dashboard, so every act updates the instant consensus does — no polling, no delay, no cached numbers, and no fabricated motion standing in for real data.

Built on the open XRPL WebSocket API documented by the XRP Ledger Foundation and Ripple's public infrastructure. Brük is an independent analytics project, not affiliated with Ripple Labs. Nothing here is financial or investment advice. The space/ocean beds under Topology are real recordings (credited in full below); every synthesized tone — the cascade's soft rain-drop tones, the reef chimes, the flow ring's coin tinkle, the aurora pad, the globe's validator chimes — is generated live with Web Audio, never a recording, and disclosed as such throughout the code.
Recording credits, in full: Whale Reef's calls are public-domain recordings from the NOAA PMEL Acoustics whale sound library and the National Park Service's Glacier Bay hydrophone archive, via Internet Archive (humpback, orca). The World Ledger's space bed is five real NASA Historical Sounds recordings plus the 1957 Sputnik-1 beep, layered under “Ocean Waves.wav” by Noted451 (CC0, Freesound); its live aurora borealis glow and space-weather readings come from NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center, and its International Space Station marker comes from wheretheiss.at's public tracking API. All recordings above are public-domain or CC0-licensed; no attribution was legally required, but it's given here in full regardless.
