# A new record
Bitcore is currently creating approx. 5'000'000 transactions in only a couple of days to fill all the public keys from the last snapshot with 50% BTX. 
Please refere to this article if you want more info about the bitcoin blockchain snapshot created on 2nd of November 2017:

* Today the first blocks with 3000 kB and more have been successfully broadcasted via the network and are saved forever on the Bitcore blockchain.
* Here is one of these blocks: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/btx/block.dws?78634
* you can watch the creation of these insanely large blocks live here: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/btx/

These blocks are definitly much larger than any of the blocks created for the Bitcoin chain ( max. 1 MB per block) and are probably record-breaking regarding any live-chain running today!
