Disclaimer: VSC Blocks is not an official project by the VSC team.

Below are some highlights to what's new in VSC Blocks for the first-half of 2025. A lot of work has been done to update the block explorer for mainnet during this period.

Revamped contract and address page

Address Page	Contract Page

Contract and address (Hive and offchain accounts) pages have been revamped for a more consistent look and to present all the important details regarding an address. Both pages show their respective balances and transactions (both incoming and outgoing).

Additionally, address pages will also show the following:

• RC usage info
• L1 operations (for Hive accounts only)
• Ledger operations - lists balance movements
• Ledger actions - lists the status of certain transactions such as unstake and unmap
• Maps (formally known as deposits)
• Unmaps (formally known as withdrawals)
• Witness info and latest blocks produced (if applicable)

Meanwhile contract pages will also show the following:

• Contract outputs
• Contract info
• Storage proof
• Contract source code (if available)

Network Charts

Daily network metrics are now being indexed by VSC Blocks backend and displayed as charts on the explorer.

Metrics that are currently available are as follows:

• Block count
• Daily transactions count
• Daily active addresses
• New contracts deployed
• Active witness count and stake
• Native asset mapping (NAM)

DAG Inspector

Wondering what is stored behind a CID (usually starts with bafyrei) by VSC nodes? The DAG inspector (found under Tools) let's you view the underlying DAG contents. The DAG content view may be toggled between nested table view (as shown above) or formatted raw JSON.

Try it out by inspecting the following:

• Block header
• Election result
• Offchain transaction
• Contract output

Other changes

• Latest transactions page shows both VSC (L1 and L2 calls) and Hive (system) transactions
• Witness page lists only active witnesses in the current epoch and their stats, sortable by weight. Individual witness info may be found in the witness tab of the address page.
• List average block participation rate in an epoch
• Renamed bridge references to native asset mapping (NAM), excluding method call names
