While the new Explorer was undergoing development, we added Feedback Fish which enabled us to get quick bug reports, immediate feedback, and general ideas from our users, and we found it incredibly helpful in prioritizing what was important to our users. If you’re interested, please reach out to DeWi for more information and potential grants! Feedback? We Love It. We are looking for contributors to instantiate a block/transaction-only Helium Network Explorer. We will keep the tool available in GitHub for our community to fork and own. You can find it at .Įxplorer is all about coverage, which means older tools like export CSV will be deprecated. We are still working on porting over as many features as possible, so the old Explorer will stay for a little while longer.
Please do your own research on the tools listed as a listing does not equal endorsement or recommendation. Though not included directly in Explorer, these features are available across a variety of Community Tools, now listed in the “Tools” tab located at the top of the Explorer homepage.ĭo you have a tool you’d like to add to the list? It’s very easy to do - edit a file and submit a Pull Request in the open-sourced Explorer repository.
While exploring coverage and specific Hotspots on the Network, questions often come up around the best placement scenarios, managing Hotspot rewards, Hotspot online status, chatting with other Hotspot owners, and a variety of other topics about the Network. Read more about the Validators announcement here and activation here, and check out the Explorer page dedicated to Validators and $HNT staking. While this used to be the work of Hotspots, the capabilities of the hardware were insufficient to accommodate the increased size of the Network and so Validators were introduced. Validators are a new type of participant on the Helium Network, taking over the work of the Consensus group to validate transactions in blocks. We took this opportunity to put mobile first, so the browsing experience on a small form factor was just as good as our desktop experience. We found that over 50% of our users were accessing Explorer from a mobile device, and we also knew the experience there was not up to our standards. Respecting the Cheetah’s Privacy in Topanga, CA. Your Hotspot location on Explore will snap to the center of the hexagon and may be slightly off in the map - this is okay and expected. Now we anonymize Hotspot locations scaled up to the closest resolution 8 hexagon which covers an area of about 737m². We’ve heard a lot of feedback from our community over privacy concerns, and we completely echo that sentiment. You may be asking… where are the exact Hotspot locations from the old Explorer? Well, great question. Los Angeles’ Device Usage over the last 7 days Protecting Your Privacy The more opaque the hexagon, the more packets. But space out your Hotspots.Īnd ever wonder where the Network is used the most? The new Device Usage map filter illustrates devices using the Helium Network over the past 7 days. Think Hotspots added in the last 30 days, filter by Hotspot Maker (show me all Bobcats!), or show me Hotspots with the highest rewards in the last 30 days. We currently show general Hotspot coverage and Transmit scales, but in the future, we (and with the community’s help) look to add even more functionality. What’s incredible about this new Explorer is the expandability of map filters. Learn more about how the Helium Network visualizes coverage here. We also bring over the concept of Hexagons (introduced in the Helium app earlier this year). The coverage map is now visible on all pages, from Latest Hotspots, Beacons, and Validator locations. The Helium Network is all about creating coverage around the world, and with that, location matters so why not make it a guiding design principle? The new Explorer puts coverage front and center. With the launch of Validators on the Helium Network, we are incredibly excited to reveal a brand new Helium Explorer experience.
