By Block​

Enter a block height or hash:

1234567            (height)
0xabcd...          (hash)

Validator Metrics​

The explorer displays comprehensive metrics about validator performance on the blockchain.

Understanding Validator Metrics​

Validators are identified in the explorer by their moniker (display name). Each validator shows two key metrics computed over a rolling window of recent blocks:

Proposed Metric​

The Proposed count shows how many blocks in the selected window the validator was chosen as the block proposer. In Proof-of-Stake consensus, validators are selected to propose blocks based on their voting power, so higher proposed counts typically indicate validators with greater stake.

Signed Metric​

The Signed count shows how many block commits the validator has signed in the selected window. A signed commit indicates that the validator participated in block validation and consensus. This metric reflects validator participation and availability.

Metric Windows​

You can view metrics across different time windows to understand validator performance at different scales:

  • 200 blocks - Recent short-term performance
  • 1000 blocks - Medium-term trends
  • 5000 blocks - Longer-term patterns

Different windows are useful for different purposes:

  • 200-block window: Useful for monitoring sudden changes in validator performance or participation
  • 1000-block window: Represents a balanced view of recent validator behavior and stability
  • 5000-block window: Shows longer-term trends and overall validator reliability

Inactive Validators​

Validators that are jailed (temporarily excluded due to missed blocks) or tombstoned (permanently excluded due to double-signing) are displayed separately in the explorer. These inactive validators:

  • Do not contribute to the active validator set
  • Do not affect voting power statistics
  • Are shown for reference and historical tracking purposes

The active validator set displays only participating validators that are not jailed or tombstoned.

Live Block Producers Tape​

The explorer displays a real-time horizontal tape showing the last 24 blocks and their proposers.

How the Live Tape Works​

The live block producers tape provides a visual timeline of recent block production on the network. Each card in the tape represents a single block with the following information:

  • Height: The block number in the blockchain
  • Time-ago: How long ago the block was created (e.g., "2 seconds ago")
  • Proposer Moniker: The display name of the validator who proposed the block
  • Transaction Count: The number of transactions included in that block

Real-Time Updates​

The tape updates in real-time using Server-Sent Events (SSE) technology. As new blocks are created, they appear automatically on the tape without requiring a page refresh. This provides a live view of block production on the network.

Privacy-First Design​

All data displayed in the live tape comes from indexed blockchain data, not direct node queries. This privacy-by-design approach ensures:

  • No node hostnames or IP addresses are exposed
  • Data is derived from public, immutable blockchain records
  • The explorer maintains security and privacy standards

Using the Live Tape​

The live tape is useful for:

  • Observing real-time block production patterns
  • Verifying that the network is actively producing blocks
  • Monitoring validator participation in block proposal
  • Troubleshooting network issues by watching proposal patterns

Contract Verification​

Verified contracts show source code on the explorer:

  1. Deploy your contract
  2. Navigate to contract address
  3. Click "Verify Contract"
  4. Submit source code and compiler settings
  5. Verified contracts show ✓ badge

API Access​

Explorers typically provide API access:
