XPlorer following the chain as its own read-only node

height 1 of 1 on the network. 6 peer(s) connected, 19 known; 0 block(s) followed and 0 pulled in by sync since this follower started. Caught up: this follower holds every block any peer has claimed, so every panel below is the whole chain. Genesis 1cf8655125cc1bbb…, producers genesis.

What this follower is, locally

Node id STR.C16757F87E62. Seeds 127.0.0.1:47001, 127.0.0.1:47002, 127.0.0.1:47003, 127.0.0.1:47004, 127.0.0.1:47005, 127.0.0.1:47007. Its store is held under its own Cerberus lease — no other node’s store is opened, touched or stopped.

A node learns peers from the ones it already has. It needs no registry and no server: a seed is a starting point, not an authority, and a node with no peers still verifies everything it holds.

Hostless

There is no server in this design and no coordinator to go down. Every node keeps its own chain, verifies every block it accepts against its own genesis, and reaches the others directly. What a seed gives a new node is somebody to ask; what makes the answer trustworthy is that the node checks it rather than that the seed said it.
