Network Health & Statistics
The blockchain is performing smoothly with all validators maintaining excellent uptime. We are seeing a steady increase in EVM-specific transactions as more users test the Sherpa Protocol and other smart contracts.
Current Network Stats:
- Total Blocks Produced: 309,018+
- Total Transactions: 8,978
- EVM Transactions: 1,139
- Average Daily Transactions: ~20
- Active Validators: 12 (All Healthy)
Introducing SVM Scan
As mentioned in my recent post, I have launched SVM Scan, a comprehensive explorer and indexer designed specifically for the Steem Virtual Machine.
Key Features:
- Real-Time Indexing: Tracks blocks, transactions, and internal messages instantly.
- EVM Compatibility: Fully supports ERC-20 token tracking, contract verification, and internal transaction tracing.
- IBC Integration: Monitors cross-chain packets and asset transfers between SVM and IBC-enabled chains like Noble.
- Validator Dashboard: Provides detailed insights into validator performance, uptime, and voting power.
SVM Scan is built to provide transparency and ease of use for developers, traders, and validators alike. You can explore the chain here: https://evmscan.steemscanner.com
IBC UI Integration: Ongoing Work
I am continuing to integrate the IBC bridge directly into the SVM App UI. This will allow users to bridge assets like USDC and EURC from the Cosmos ecosystem without using command-line tools. The backend is fully functional, and the frontend wiring is currently in the testing phase.
