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
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.
Open observation source ↗Compare with Valopers ↗01 / Engineering principles
Three principles guide the protocol and the tools around it.
Verify chain and operational state. Keep the source, timestamp and uncertainty visible.
observe → verify → reportWork toward redundant infrastructure. Test controlled upgrades and preserve chain history.
checkpoint → test → reviewJYNVI gives operational observations context, supporting incident awareness and informed decisions.
signals → context → understanding02 / Protocol & economics
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 supply100M 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.
03 / Ecosystem layers
Hickory is the protocol foundation. These three products connect people to it.
/ blocks · transactionsPublic Blockchain Transparency
Explore blocks, transactions, accounts and validator activity. See the network through its recorded on-chain data.
/ operations · incidentsOperational intelligence and network truth
Understand node observations, telemetry and operational context. Separate what is observed from what remains uncertain.
/ review · signUser-Controlled Signing & Transactions
Create or import a wallet, review transaction intent and sign with keys you control. Non-custodial access to HIC.
The engineering program
Economic hardening first. Resilient infrastructure next. Interoperability only when the safeguards are proven.
Read the full roadmap100M 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.
Independent sentry redundancy, fewer P2P failure domains, validator reliability, additional independent partners, provider diversity and JYNVI operational observability.
Compatibility validation, relayer architecture, channel/security testing, timeout/recovery rehearsal and cross-chain monitoring.
Noble / USDC only after IBC production readiness. Ledger integration remains a roadmap item.
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
Independent infrastructure and thoughtful integration matter. Start with the evidence, the requirements and the work ahead.

IBC production readiness remains a separate validation program. No live cross-chain service is implied.
