Blocks

EVER Scan blocks section

This section displays the statistics of blocks that are in the Everscale network, as well as a list of recent blocks.

Let's talk a bit about the Everscale architecture:

At the moment blockchain consists of 2 workchains. One of them (-1), so- called masterchain, is needed for service contracts and validator contracts, another one (0) is for simple users. In future, it is possible to add more simple workchains (1, 2, etc) to the blockchain.

In turn, workchain is splitted into shards (so-called shardchains). When the load is low there are 16 shards, when it increases shards split and when decreases they merge.

Blockchain is validated by validators. Part of them validate masterchain, others are splitted into groups and validate shardchains. Periodically global set of validators changes with elections. Within one election cycle shardchain validators rotate as well.

Statistics

At the top of the section is a block of statistics. Here you can see the number of blocks in the head masterchain, the average time to add a new block to the network and the number of working shards.

Blocks list

Below is a list of recent blocks. It displays the shard number and block height, id, Software Version, the number of transactions in the block and the time. Clicking on Shard & Height or the block ID will take you to a page with its details.

Block details

This section is divided into several blocks:

Main details

Here you can see basic information about the block: its number, time of creation, id, number of the workchain, the number of transactions within it, and other information.

Value Flow

This block displays the aggregate EVER movement between blocks, as well as the amount of commission collected and validator awards.

Account blocks

The accounts changed in the block are displayed here. Click on the address of one of the accounts to go to its details page.

Shard hashes

This block is only relevant for -1 workchain. Displays blocks from shards included in the main chain. Click on Root hash to go to the details page of this block.

Transactions

This block displays the transactions included in this block: their ID, account-initiator address, type, exit code, time, and the amount of changed EVERs on the account balance.

Messages

All messages in this block are displayed here. These messages are directly related to the transactions in this block.

Messages here are divided into incoming and outgoing. Here you can see the Hash of the message, the ID of the parent transaction, the type of message, and the amount attached EVER.

Clicking on one of these values will take you to the details page of the corresponding item: message or transaction.
