HICKORY / LAYER 1 Public Testnet

Truth.Resilience.Intelligence.

A sovereign protocol.
An observable foundation.

Hickory brings predictable HIC economics, transparent chain data and operational intelligence into one blockchain ecosystem.

Public testnet. Mainnet is not live.

Block time (UTC):

No source / checked Unknown

Source & freshness

Chain: Unknown. Source: Unavailable. Request latency: Unknown.

Last successful check (UTC): Not yet available. Checks every 15 seconds while visible. Missing values remain unknown; failed or old observations are marked stale.

One endpoint response is not a whole-network health verdict. The artwork is not a measured topology.

01 / Engineering principles

Evidence first.
Resilience by design.

Three principles guide the protocol and the tools around it.

01

Truth

Verify chain and operational state. Keep the source, timestamp and uncertainty visible.

observe → verify → report
02

Resilience

Work toward redundant infrastructure. Test controlled upgrades and preserve chain history.

checkpoint → test → review
03

Intelligence

JYNVI gives operational observations context, supporting incident awareness and informed decisions.

signals → context → understanding

02 / Protocol & economics

A clear protocol.
Explicit economic boundaries.

HIC is the network’s native coin. The economic design targets a 100 million HIC ceiling and zero inflation, with staking and governance as core roles.

Economic model & current supply

100M HIC

Design supply cap

Hickory is designed around a 100 million HIC supply cap and zero inflation. This figure describes the economic policy, not a live supply reading.

Protocol safeguards and safe upgrades remain in development. See the economic model for current observations and the roadmap for progress.

Developer documentation & public APIs

03 / Ecosystem layers

One protocol.
Three ways to work with it.

Hickory is the protocol foundation. These three products connect people to it.

01

HICScan

/ blocks · transactions

Public Blockchain Transparency

Explore blocks, transactions, accounts and validator activity. See the network through its recorded on-chain data.

Open HICScan
02

JYNVI

/ operations · incidents

Operational intelligence and network truth

Understand node observations, telemetry and operational context. Separate what is observed from what remains uncertain.

The engineering program

Building Hickory for
long-term reliability.

Economic hardening first. Resilient infrastructure next. Interoperability only when the safeguards are proven.

Read the full roadmap
  1. In Progress

    Mainnet Economic Hardening

    100M HIC fixed-supply enforcement, 0% inflation architecture, Distributor non-minting safeguards, unified fees and validator rewards. State-preserving upgrade testing, restart rehearsal and core security hardening.

  2. Next

    Validator & Infrastructure Resilience

    Scope of work

    Independent sentry redundancy, fewer P2P failure domains, validator reliability, additional independent partners, provider diversity and JYNVI operational observability.

  3. Planned

    IBC Production Readiness

    Scope of work

    Compatibility validation, relayer architecture, channel/security testing, timeout/recovery rehearsal and cross-chain monitoring.

  4. Future

    External Assets & Hardware Wallets

    Scope of work

    Noble / USDC only after IBC production readiness. Ledger integration remains a roadmap item.

  5. Research / Evaluation

    Long-Term Research

    Scope of work

    Developer tooling, SDK and documentation. Smart-contract and CosmWasm evaluation only for real use cases; a future DEX only if ecosystem demand justifies it.

Validators, developers & ecosystem partners
