Issue 1/Monthly Highlights

The chain in a browser — 1 August

You can now check the Logos chain without running a node. logosblocks.noders.services carries every block and transaction on the testnet, so a payment someone says they sent can be looked up and confirmed by anyone. Under that: Mantle ops, channels with their inscriptions decoded, address pages, and a dashboard carrying the tip, the last finalised slot, the peer count, the queue and the Cryptarchia participation figures. It ingests live, backfills by walking parents and reconciles finality rather than trusting the head, and it was updated for node 0.2.2 on 25 August. NODERS built it, a validator company rather than Logos, and the indexer and frontend are open under MIT and Apache, so it can be run against your own node or stood back up by someone else if the site goes down.

Testnet v0.2.1 — 5 August

The token economics are live. Inscriptions now cost something, LEZ transactions stay free for now, and the network around the fees got sturdier: nodes behind home routers can finally find their peers, history syncs the way BitTorrent does, and direct chats moved to de-MLS.

Medusa self-custody wallet — 11 August

Medusa is a private, self-custodial wallet built for Logos Blockchain by developer ParadoxComputer. Available as a Logos Basecamp module, it supports multiple identities within one wallet and is designed to hold and move value across Logos zones. It keeps the keys encrypted on your own machine, and moves money between public and private accounts, where the amount and who sent it stays hidden. It is part of ParadoxComputer's wider development work on Logos, which also includes LEZ ZoneScan, an explorer for the Logos Execution Zone.

Blockchain module 0.2.3 — 24 August

A fix for nodes silently dropping out of the Blend Network. The transactions a node sends to prove it is alive carried no fee margin, so a fee spike could price them out. They now carry one. If you run a node, update and restart.
