STEEM EVM Update: 387K Blocks, SVM Scan Evolution & Network Resilience
The Steem Virtual Machine (SVM) continues to operate with exceptional stability, having now crossed 387,858 blocks. The network remains healthy with consistent block production and a full validator set actively securing the chain.
Previous Updates
- 371K Blocks & Oracle Setup Progress
- SVM Scan: Building a Powerful Explorer
- New Validator Setup Script & State Sync Fix
- 353K Blocks & SVM Scan Sync
- Minor Validator Update: Bridge Oracle
Network Health & Statistics
The blockchain is performing smoothly with all validators maintaining excellent uptime. We are seeing steady growth in transaction volume as more users test the Sherpa Protocol and other smart contracts.
Current Network Stats:
- Total Blocks Produced: 387,858+
- Total Transactions: 9,068
- Average Block Time: 6.5 seconds
- Active Validators: 12 (All Healthy)
🛠️ SVM Scan: Continuous Evolution
I am continuously improving SVM Scan (https://svmscan.blazeapps.org/) to provide a more powerful and user-friendly experience for developers and users alike.
Recent Improvements:
- Enhanced indexing speed and reliability.
- Better support for IBC asset tracking and resolution.
- Improved UI for viewing validator performance and governance proposals.
Stay tuned for an upcoming upgrade proposal that will bring even more features and optimizations to the explorer and the underlying data layer.
🔄 Network Resilience Test
Today, I experienced a brief period of being jailed due to a temporary connectivity issue with one of my listed peers. However, this incident served as a valuable stress test for the network's continuity.
Despite the brief downtime, the chain remained healthy and continued to produce blocks without interruption, thanks to the robust participation of the other 11 validators. This demonstrates the resilience of our consensus mechanism and the importance of having a diverse and distributed validator set. I have since unjailed and rejoined the active set.
Current Validator Set (12 Nodes)
Thank you to all our validators for their dedication and consistency:
