ADAMANT Explorer v2.0.0 is the first stable release since v1.3.0. It modernizes the Explorer frontend, backend, live monitoring, security boundaries, dependencies, tests, and operational documentation while preserving existing public page URLs and deep links.
Highlights
Vue 3 frontend and refreshed UX
- Replace AngularJS, Bootstrap 3, and Webpack with Vue 3, Pinia, Vue Router 5, and Vite 8
- Rebuild all public Explorer pages with responsive desktop, tablet, and mobile layouts
- Add persistent light and dark themes, accessible controls, mobile transaction cards, safer tooltips, and improved copy feedback
- Add contextual transaction semantics for transfers, votes and unvotes, DApp operations, exchange activity, and welcome bonuses
Backend and API modernization
- Rebuild ADAMANT Node access around
adamant-api3.1.0 with readiness gating, failover, bounded pagination, normalized errors, and separated request/handler layers - Retain the 12 same-origin routes required by the Explorer UI and add
GET /api/networkHealth - Add strict route and query validation, deterministic transaction ordering, corrected transfer filtering, top-account pagination, live confirmations, and full-precision ADM formatting
- Make Redis optional for core serving while preserving resilient API caching and rolling block/peer statistics
Live monitoring and freshness
- Stabilize Header, Delegate Monitor, Network Monitor, and Activity Graph Socket.IO lifecycles with serialized polling and bounded retries
- Add block-driven page refreshes and bounded REST confirmation for compact WebSocket block notifications
- Improve delegate schedules, forging states, rewards, fees, peer statistics, version ordering, and round-boundary behavior
- Replace Freegeoip with optional GeoJS peer geo-location and add a same-origin, validated, cached, and rate-limited OpenStreetMap tile proxy
Security and reliability
- Remove wildcard CORS and 16 unsupported legacy Explorer API endpoints
- Add proxy-aware API rate limiting, validated trusted proxies, security headers, a constrained CSP, stable errors, and explicit HTTP timeouts
- Minimize request logs by excluding query strings and validate untrusted Node, peer, proxy, Redis, geo-location, and browser-origin data
- Add a repository threat model, security/reliability review, and extensive unit coverage for public boundaries and live-monitor state
Dependencies, tests, and documentation
- Update the supported runtime to Node.js
^22.18.0 || >=24.11.0 - Update Express, Redis, Socket.IO, Axios, Vue, Vite, Pinia, Vue Router, ESLint, Mocha, Chai, Supertest, and the remaining dependencies
- Remove legacy Grunt, Protractor, Cucumber, Jenkins, Travis, Webpack/Babel, and obsolete Market Watcher/exchange integrations
- Add 43 Node-only unit-test modules, refresh live Testnet fixtures, and expand API, security, scheduling, data-shaping, and frontend utility coverage
- Refresh
README.mdand add current contributor and AI-agent operating guides
Breaking changes and upgrade notes
- Upgrade Node.js to
^22.18.0 || >=24.11.0 - Create the deployment configuration from the new
config.default.jsoncand reviewnodes_adm,trustedProxies,redis,geoLocation,exchangeRates, andlog_level - Use ADAMANT Node v0.10.2 or newer and prefer multiple independently operated HTTPS nodes
- Replace the removed Freegeoip integration with the optional GeoJS configuration; disabling geo-location keeps peer and hostname data available without maps or country flags
- Migrate external consumers of removed Explorer API routes to
adamant-api-jsclient; useGET /api/networkHealthfor operational monitoring - Allow the same-origin
/osm-tiles/path in reverse-proxy and firewall rules - Build the ignored
public/bundle during deployment withnpm run build - Use
npm run devfor the combined backend/Vite development stack ornpm run dev:frontendfor Vite only
Existing Explorer page routes and deep links remain compatible. Redis is recommended but is no longer required for core HTTP and static serving.
Validation
