The BlockDAG Network Nodes section provides real-time insights into the network's operational status and performance. It displays key metrics such as the best block, which represents the latest validated block, and the finalized block, indicating the most recently confirmed block in the chain. The average time metric reflects the network's block processing speed, while the last block time shows how recently the latest block was added. Additionally, transactions per second (TPS) and transactions per block (TPB) provide a snapshot of the network's efficiency and throughput. This section offers a transparent view of the network's health, ensuring users can track and analyze BlockDAG’s decentralized infrastructure in real time.
Best Block (7283): This is the highest block currently created in the network. It represents the most up-to-date ledger state.
Finalized Block (7283): This is the latest block that has been confirmed and finalized. A finalized block is immutable, ensuring no reorganization or changes.
Average Time (0s): This value usually represents the average time taken to generate a block. A value of 0 seconds may indicate an issue with block production or an inactive network.
Last Block (257331): The latest block in the Node Visualizer is the most recently validated block, showing its hash, parent hash, transactions, and connections in real time.
Transactions Per Second (1): This shows the number of transactions processed per second on the network. A low TPS value might indicate either a low transaction load or network limitations.
Transactions Per Block (0.8): This indicates the average number of transactions per block. A value below 1 suggests that not all blocks contain transactions (some might be empty).
The toggle switch in the top-right corner is turned on, which means the user is currently viewing the node list. If the user turns off the toggle, the display will switch to the graph view instead.
This section provides details about a specific node participating in the blockchain network.
Node ID (16Uiu...VnbEm): A unique identifier for the node in the network. Nodes use this ID to communicate and validate transactions.
Node Name (BDAG): This is the assigned name for the node.
Country (United States): The geographical location of the node. Nodes are often distributed worldwide for decentralization and resilience.
City (Portland): The specific city where this node is operating.
Node IP Address (34.213.42.117): The public IP address assigned to this node. Other nodes use this to establish peer-to-peer connections.
