Hickory Documentation

Start with verified public sources, read-only API examples and operator guidance. Hickory is a public testnet; a source candidate or registry entry is not approval to deploy a validator or upgrade.

Review development status

Network reference and read-only APIs

Chain ID: Hickory. Native denomination: uhic (1 HIC = 1,000,000 uhic). Network: public testnet. These links query public data; they do not sign or broadcast transactions.

Read-only status request

For developers: the following example reads the public RPC status. It does not sign or send a transaction. API links return raw JSON data, not a graphical explorer; use HICScan for a readable network view.

curl --fail --silent --show-error https://rpc.hickoryblockchain.com/status

Check chain identity, block time and source before using any response. A successful request does not prove network-wide health. An unavailable response is unknown, not zero.

Operator sources and release gates

The versioned runbook linked above still contains release-readiness gates. Registry metadata and older documentation may differ, including fee guidance. Confirm the exact approved binary, genesis checksum, peer configuration and fee policy with Hickory before installation; do not fill unresolved values by guessing.
