(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-10-10)

Bitcoind only stores information about addresses that you've added.

How do I make it store balance and transaction information for *all* addresses so that given any address I've never seen before, I can quickly query the information? I need responses in less than 1 second.

I dont want to use any centralized apis like blockcypher or blockchain.com.

This is not a supported feature. Only the wallet tracks total balances (per wallet even, not per address), and only does so for your own keys/addresses (including imported "watch only" keys/addresses).

Other software exists that provides this functionality.

Better check <https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore> or other open-source blockchain's indexer. But no bitcoind is not made to support this "top level" functionality
