News
As the saying goes, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery- while Grin gets an honorable mention in the recent Coin Bureau recap video for its role building the Mimblewimble protocol, other projects have begun to catch onto the value that privacy and scalability hold in digital transactions, showing what many following the project may already know- that Grin is quietly leading technology development in the field (Grin shout-out @14:30 minute mark)
Thanks to more great work done by the grinnode.live team, network transaction count statistics are now publicly available to view as a plot-graph; aggregate in all-time, yearly, monthly, and 3-day views. This is an addition to their already released live global node map, network health chart, and node user agent viewer- making grinnode.live not only an essential tool for reliable node API connectivity but also network statistics and awareness
