👋 **Hello, Hive Community!** To make Hive’s block production and governance more transparent, **CuteHIVE Monitor** has introduced a new feature: **Witnesses Schedule**. This module provides a clear, real-time view of the block production sequence, witness rotations, and upcoming schedules, presenting on-chain data in an organized interface. ![a65f8593f4a2b9d3c9b4a15a9b7a7119.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmY9PHJfJoVyTridHhAcgFpjhQPxeihRnviCEhFSNZ1Z3r/a65f8593f4a2b9d3c9b4a15a9b7a7119.png) ## 💡 Why We Developed This There are already several reliable witness tools in the community. **CuteHIVE Monitor** aims to complement these existing options by focusing on: * **Clean UI**: A straightforward design for daily monitoring. * **Smooth Transitions**: Improved visual updates when the schedule shuffles. * **Practical Predictions**: A reliable forecast for the Backup Witness (Timeshare) slots. --- ## ⏱️ Block Production Visualization Hive produces a block every **3 seconds**, with **21 blocks** per round. The **Witnesses Schedule** tracks this process in real time: * **Current**: The witness actively producing a block. * **Completed**: Witnesses who have already fulfilled their turn in the current round. * **Upcoming**: The queue for the remaining slots. Simple color indicators and status updates help users follow the consensus layer’s activity without needing deep technical knowledge. --- ## 🏛️ Top 20 and the Timeshare Slot Each round consists of 21 slots, reflecting Hive's governance structure: 1. **Top 20 Witnesses**: The 20 highest-voted witnesses who participate in every round. 2. **The 21st Slot**: A shared position that rotates among backup witnesses. The tool displays this structure clearly, showing how Hive balances network stability with decentralized participation. --- ## 🔮 Timeshare Queue: Scheduling Forecast For witnesses outside the Top 20, knowing their expected block production time can be helpful. The **Timeshare Queue** view offers: * **Forward-Looking View**: Insights into which backup witnesses are likely to receive the 21st slot in future rounds. * **Logic-Based Estimates**: Predictions based on Hive's scheduling rules. This provides supporters and backup witnesses with a clearer expectation of upcoming activity. --- ## ⏸️ Pause and Review If the block production moves too quickly for detailed observation, you can **Pause** the view to check specific details. When you hit **Resume**, the interface instantly syncs back to the current head block. --- ## 🌐 Understanding the Consensus Layer **Witnesses Schedule** is designed to be a window into Hive’s consensus layer. It takes the existing on-chain data and presents it in a way that is easier to observe and analyze. If you follow Hive governance or are interested in witness performance, feel free to try it out. 👉 **Check it out on [CuteHIVE Monitor](https://cutehive.com)** --- --- 🛠️ Hive Witnesses Schedule: 可视化出块调度工具 👋 **亲爱的 Hive 社区朋友们:** 为了让 Hive 的出块调度与治理过程更易于观察,**CuteHIVE Monitor** 推出了 **Witnesses Schedule(见证人调度)** 功能模块。 该功能通过直观的界面,展示 Hive 区块链的出块顺序、轮次结构以及实时调度情况,方便用户了解共识层的运行状态。 ![b00ffbf8a81b591f11f8626e5a7332bc.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPjtT2VVqP7mWe9gPknPAsdCvvP5X5K76iZo9zAi6QbZE/b00ffbf8a81b591f11f8626e5a7332bc.png) ## 💡 开发初衷 社区中已经有许多成熟的 Witnesses Schedule 工具。我们开发这个模块,是希望在现有工具的基础上,提供一些不同的侧重点: * **直观的界面**:侧重于信息的清晰排版与日常查看的便捷性。 * **平滑的切换**:优化了轮次洗牌时的视觉过渡效果。 * **实用的预测**:提供更符合逻辑的备份见证人(Backup Witness)排队预测。 --- ## ⏱️ 出块调度可视化 Hive 网络每 **3 秒**产出一个区块,每 **21 个区块**为一个轮次。 **Witnesses Schedule** 实时呈现这一过程,包括: * **当前出块**:正在工作的见证人节点。 * **已完成**:本轮次内已成功出块的席位。 * **待出块**:本轮次内后续的排队序列。 通过简单的颜色标注和状态显示,用户可以轻松跟进当前的调度进度。 --- ## 🏛️ 前 20 名与第 21 个轮值席位 每一轮出块由 21 个席位组成,体现了 Hive 的治理结构: 1. **Top 20 见证人**:得票最高的 20 位见证人,固定参与每一轮出块。 2. **第 21 个席位**:由排名 20 名以后的备份见证人按规则轮流获得。 该工具直观展示了这一结构,帮助用户理解 Hive 如何在稳定性和去中心化之间寻找平衡。 --- ## 🔮 分时队列:轮值预测视图 对于备份见证人及其支持者来说,了解大致的出块时间非常实用。**Timeshare Queue(分时队列)** 视图提供: * **前瞻性参考**:展示未来若干轮次中可能获得第 21 席 […]
