alphanumeric
Discovery, light snapshots, network status.
A resilient discovery and light snapshot layer for the Alphanumeric network. Nodes announce, clients discover peers, and the gateway stays available so clients can reconnect and sync.
Network Operations
Live gateway telemetry, chain health signals, and recent network activity.
Snapshot History (24h)
Waiting for snapshot history.
How It Works
Announce
Nodes publish signed status and optional stats snapshots.
Rank
Gateway dedupes endpoints and prioritizes fresher peer signals.
Verify
Header snapshots move from pending to verified by signer quorum.
Sync
Clients sync from the canonical chain tip exposed by discovery APIs.
Discovery
Nodes POST signed announcements and clients fetch ranked peers. Works at small scale and holds up to hundreds of nodes using KV-backed storage.
Light Snapshot
Validators submit signed header snapshots. The site shows last known height and timestamps with a clear stale marker.
Health
Simple uptime endpoint and CORS-friendly APIs for nodes and tools.
