node_status

com.steledger/gateway · Verify this server

Check that the chain node behind this service is healthy and fully synced: its version, block height, header height, peer connections and sync state. It is an Emercoin node. Read-only, no sign-in required, no parameters. `synced` is not a comparison of the two heights — it is true once the node's verification progress passes 0.9999, so it can still be false while `blocks` and `headers` already match. Trust that field, not the arithmetic. While it is false, a `read_record` may reflect an older state of the chain; writes still work, they simply confirm later. Also the way to make sense of expiry: `expires_in` on a record is denominated in blocks, and this tool reports the current height, so the two together are the only authoritative answer to when something lapses. A term is bought in days and charged at a flat 175 blocks each; the chain has been producing about 171 a day lately (8.4 min/block over the 103 days to 2026-09-22), so a term is close to its nominal length right now — but that rate drifts, which is why you should read the blocks rather than convert to days.
