XL1 · About the data

How Oxyon observes XL1.

Nothing here comes from nowhere.

Every figure in the viewer carries a tag saying what kind of figure it is. This page says what each tag means, where the data comes from, how often it is read, and what it cannot tell you.

The five tags

Read the tag before the number.

Official
Read from XYO's own published block files — the same files the official explorer reads. A block, its hash, its producer and its timestamp are facts of the chain.
Observed
Counted by Oxyon from the blocks it has read. It covers Oxyon's observation window only — the window is printed under the figures — not the chain's whole history.
Derived
Calculated from observed blocks: a block time is the gap between two blocks' own timestamps; a median is the middle of the last 100 of those gaps.
Estimated
A projection, such as blocks per day at the current pace. Never a measurement, always labelled.
Telemetry
Oxyon's own producers reporting on themselves, published as open data every few minutes. Kept separate from the network figures, because a producer describing itself is a different kind of claim.

Sources

What is read, and how often.

Source	What it gives	Read	Scope
XYO's block files `blocks.<network>.xyo.space`	Every block's signed witness: producer, hash, previous hash, timestamp, payloads, transactions	Sequence: every 5 s · Mainnet: every minute	Every block from the start of Oxyon's window onward
XYO's chain head `state.<network>.xyo.space`	The newest block	Same as above	The tip of the chain
Oxyon's race observer	The order candidate blocks arrived in, and which one won — which the chain itself does not keep	Pool every 0.5 s; published every 15 min	Sequence, as seen from one machine
Oxyon's producers xl1-status-data	Each producer's own status, rank, share and timings	Every 5 min	Oxyon's two Sequence producers

Oxyon keeps the newest 10,000 blocks of each network. Anything older is a link to the official explorer, which holds the whole chain.

The path of a number

One reader for the chain, however many readers of this page.

XL1Producers publish blocks; XYO serves them as static files.
WatcherOne process per network reads each new block once, checks it names the previous block's hash, and stores it.
FiguresPace, block time and producer shares are updated as each block arrives — never recomputed from scratch.
This pageReceives each block over one live connection. Your browser never asks XYO for anything.

The watcher never contacts a producer. Producers exist to produce blocks; observing them must cost them nothing.

Who is who

Names, only with permission.

The chain records which address signed a block, and nothing about who holds it. A name appears here only when the operator has agreed to be named, or when the producer is Oxyon's own. The address is always shown beside the name, so a name can be checked rather than trusted. Every other producer appears by address.

Limits

What this cannot see.

Blocks before the window. Totals labelled Observed count only what Oxyon has read. They are not lifetime figures.
Losing candidates. The chain keeps the winning block only. Who else offered a block, and when, exists only because Oxyon's race observer watched — from one machine, so its arrival order includes that machine's position on the network.
Clocks. Block times are the gaps between blocks' own timestamps, which producers stamp themselves.
Outages. If XYO's files stop answering, the viewer says so and stops updating. It never fills a gap with a guess.
Sequence is a test network. Its balances are not the traded XL1 asset. Mainnet is one tap away in the network switch.
