I was recently informed that there’s a new and much prettier block explorer than the one we (the team behind Neptune) made. Check it out: neptune.vxb.ai

It’s of course limited what you can show on a privacy-preserving blockchain like Neptune. But it’s still possible to see with what frequency the blocks are coming in, how the mining rewards are distributed (between guesser and composer), and how many UTXO inputs and outputs each block contains.

I especially like the graphs on this new block explorer. It’s nice to see the changing difficulty visualized like this.

Looks like this new block explorer also has a public API. Very cool!

curl -X 'GET'   'https://neptune.vxb.ai/api/block/33'   -H 'accept: application/json'

It would be really cool if that API could be used by mining pools to get the latest, most valuable block proposal.
