Dev Release 126

We are excited to introduce major updates to the BlockDAG Explorer, empowering our users with enhanced tools to track the performance and growth of the BlockDAG blockchain. With these new features, you can now view real-time statistics on daily and cumulative transaction data across two key explorers: the EVM Explorer and the UTXO Explorer. These updates make it easier to understand the full scope of activity happening on the BlockDAG network, whether you're a developer, an investor, or an active community member.Let’s dive into what each of these powerful explorers offers and how they can help you better track the health and performance of the BlockDAG network.

Our EVM Explorer has been upgraded to provide users with up-to-the-minute data on the daily transaction count occurring within the BlockDAG ecosystem. This feature is incredibly useful for monitoring blockchain activity in real time, whether you're interested in overall network usage or the performance of specific applications running on the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) side of the BlockDAG network.

- Daily Transaction Count: The EVM Explorer now tracks and displays the exact number of transactions processed on the network each day. This feature gives you a clear picture of how much activity is happening on the blockchain and provides insight into periods of high usage.- Historical Transaction Trends: Users can view how transaction activity changes over time with the help of intuitive charts. This historical data is useful for observing network trends, identifying growth patterns, and understanding the impact of new applications or market events on transaction volume.- Gas Fees and Block Details: Each transaction contains additional data, including gas fees and block details, allowing users to dive deeper into the transaction mechanics. This level of insight is valuable for developers optimizing their smart contracts or investors analyzing network performance.With these daily transaction stats at your fingertips, you can easily monitor BlockDAG’s network activity and assess its growth in real time.

The UTXO Explorer gives users another way to track network activity—this time with a focus on cumulative transaction data. Unlike the EVM Explorer, which emphasizes daily stats, the UTXO Explorer showcases the total number of transactions ever conducted on the UTXO model side of the BlockDAG blockchain. This model is key to enabling faster and more efficient transactions, especially for use cases involving high-volume, low-fee activities like microtransactions.

- Total Transaction Count: The UTXO Explorer provides users with a view of the total number of transactions that have occurred since the BlockDAG network’s inception. This figure represents the cumulative history of the network, offering a clear indication of the platform’s growth and the trust users have placed in it over time.
- Latest UTXO Blocks and Transactions: The Explorer displays the latest UTXO blocks as they are mined, along with detailed information about the transactions they contain. Users can view each transaction’s input and output details, making it easy to follow how funds move across the network.
- Detailed UTXO Data: For each transaction, users can dive into additional data such as transaction size, fees, and input/output information. This provides a comprehensive view of how the UTXO model is utilized in the network and is particularly useful for developers and technical users who need detailed insights into transaction flow.

Providing these real-time statistics across both explorers gives BlockDAG users the tools they need to fully understand the network’s performance and growth. Whether you’re a developer tracking transaction patterns, an investor analyzing network activity, or simply a community member curious about the blockchain’s progress, these features offer critical insights.

The BlockDAG Testnet has crossed a significant threshold, providing a sneak peek into the power and scalability of our future Mainnet. These milestones aren't just numbers; they are markers of progress that show how a secure and decentralized future is being built.1. Total Transactions:
We’ve now processed over "26,199" transactions on the BlockDAG Testnet! This number reflects the vibrancy and activity of our community, demonstrating how users are engaging with our network in various ways. Whether it's developers stress-testing their smart contracts, users exploring dApps, or those making mock transactions, the activity on our Testnet is a clear sign of growing adoption. Each transaction is a vote of confidence in our technology, and as more users join, these numbers are only expected to rise.
Every transaction adds to the validation of our decentralized system, showing how efficient and secure our infrastructure is, even under increasing demand. This is a strong indicator that once we go live with our Mainnet, the network will be ready for real-world adoption.2. Total Blocks Produced:
We have officially produced "30,793" blocks on the Testnet — an incredible feat! Block generation is the backbone of any blockchain, and each new block added to our network is another layer of security and decentralization. More blocks mean more stability and an expanded ledger of transactions, which in turn strengthens the network's integrity.
Every block solidifies our claim that the BlockDAG protocol is scalable and prepared to handle high transaction throughput without compromising security. With block generation continuing smoothly, our decentralized ecosystem remains consistent and dependable, reflecting the resilience of the BlockDAG consensus mechanism.

We’re not just talking about abstract numbers here—let’s break down the latest data as displayed on the BlockDAG Explorer:
- BlockDAG Price:
At "$0.0192", the BlockDAG token price is holding firm, reflecting the market's confidence in our technology and the growing interest in our platform. While we’re still in the Testnet phase, the stability of this price indicates an exciting future as we approach the Mainnet launch. This price serves as an important reference point for early adopters and developers testing dApps, as they can monitor how the value of their token-based transactions evolves over time.
- Last Safe Block:
The Last Safe Block represents the most recent block that has been fully validated and finalized on the network. As of now, the Testnet is safe up to block "30,796", ensuring that all data up to this point is immutable, secure, and part of the verified ledger. The importance of the safe block lies in ensuring that once a block is marked safe, it is permanently written into the blockchain and cannot be altered. This level of security ensures data integrity across the network.
- Total Block Count:
We’ve successfully produced "30,797" blocks. This is a measure of our network’s health and consistency. As more blocks are added, the network becomes increasingly difficult to compromise, showing that the Testnet is operating exactly as intended. BlockDAG’s focus on creating a decentralized, trustless environment means that every new block adds another layer of reliability to the platform, making it scalable and secure for future applications.
- Total Transactions:
Since our last snapshot, the total transactions have continued to increase, now sitting at "26,202". These transactions aren't just numbers—they represent the real interactions happening on our Testnet. Developers and users are actively testing the system, working with tokens, smart contracts, and other decentralized applications. The rising transaction count is a clear signal of community growth and a healthy ecosystem.
- Transaction History Value:
In terms of total transaction value, the Testnet has now processed "$46,870.67" worth of tokens. This value shows the cumulative worth of all transactions that have occurred on the network so far. As we edge closer to the Mainnet, this figure is expected to soar, as more users, developers, and businesses begin to leverage our decentralized applications and services. This dollar value not only reflects activity but also the potential economic impact of our ecosystem.

One of the most exciting features of the BlockDAG Explorer is the transaction history graph, giving users a real-time snapshot of the network’s activity. Here's what we can glean from the latest data:
- The week began on Thursday with relatively low transaction volumes, likely a quiet start after previous developments. However, as the weekend approached, the activity began to pick up, showing that users were taking more action on the Testnet as they tested features or ran dApps.
- By the time we reached Tuesday, the Testnet experienced a noticeable spike in transaction volume, which reached an all-time high on Wednesday. This peak represents the most active day on the network so far, demonstrating how user engagement is increasing as more features are tested and more transactions take place.
This historical trend data is invaluable, not just for network admins but for anyone participating in or observing the Testnet. Knowing when the network is most active allows developers and users to optimize their participation and better plan their smart contract testing or other activities.
