Operational status.
How the validators and the observer are doing, measured from the chain itself, and a public record of every incident.
Validator availability
Fulfilled slots: the share of a validator’s own proposal turns that produced a block. A missed turn triggers a QBFT round change and the next validator proposes; finality is never affected. Signatures count the seals recorded by the observer.
| Validator | Data centre | Slots · 24 h | Slots · 7 d | Slots · 30 d | Signed · 24 h | Last seen | Status |
|---|
Block production
Blocks with transactions follow every 5 s, empty blocks every 60 s. Intervals above 60 s are round changes. There are no reorganisations by design.
Interval between consecutive blocks
Observer and explorer
The public layer reads only from the observer node. If the observer falls behind, the integrity line at the top says so; the validators continue regardless.
External anchoring
A second, independent timestamp makes a silent rewrite of history detectable. Each daily snapshot digest is timestamped in Bitcoin through OpenTimestamps (free public calendars) and – once the dedicated address is funded – recorded on Base, an Ethereum layer 2. Other anchoring targets (such as EBSI) are only being considered; no onboarding, integration or partnership exists. A timestamp proves existence at a time, not the truth or legal effect of the content.
A second, outside timestamp: the same fingerprint is also stamped into Bitcoin, which nobody here controls.
| Snapshot | Bitcoin (OpenTimestamps) | Base |

Backups and recovery
The chain itself lives on five nodes. What only the observer holds – daily snapshots with their Merkle leaves, deployment and registry metadata, the incident log – is archived daily; the archive hash is anchored, and a recovery test reads the archive back and recomputes every Merkle root before its result is anchored too.

Incident log
Every disruption of the network or of this explorer, with cause, impact and fix. Entries are never removed.
