September 2025 delivered significant progress across contract deployments, network utilities, and on-chain reliability for blocksense. Key outcomes include redeploying contracts with new feeds and price feeds (LME-XCU USD per troy ounce), deploying Sonic Testnet and new Megaeth Testnet feeds, plus hardening by removing deployments on dead networks and updating the Safe Fork deployer address. Base-utils expanded network coverage with plasma-mainnet, sonic-testnet, gravity-sepolia, monad-mainnet, and superposition-testnet, and updated etherscan API v2, along with network reordering and naming cleanups. Additional testnet deployments (Gravity Sepolia and Superposition Testnet) accompanied by on-chain improvements (mainnet option, mainnet seq addr, cost script fixes, color fixes) and quality work (slashes cleanup). Gravity network icon added to docs to improve discoverability. Overall, this enhances testing coverage, deployment reliability, and alignment with business needs while improving development ergonomics and observability.

July 2025 — Strengthened cost governance, observability, and deployment reliability across blocksense networks. Implemented onchain-Interactions metrics for cost calculations and pending checks, enabling precise cost visibility and faster triage. Refined monitoring with onchain gauges (txcount/txperiod), updated help text, conditional gauge initialization, and a zero-balance grey state for clearer status at a glance. Expanded network observability by integrating a broad set of explorers via base-utils (Plasma-testnet, World Chain Sepolia, Swellchain Testnet, Linea networks, Blast Mainnet, Optimism Mainnet, Avalanche networks, Celo Alfajores, Unichain networks, Monad v2 explorer API updates) and added Zksync-Sepolia support. Updated configs and API URLs post redeploys, aligned Pharos environment (removed devnet, fixed Pharos-testnet .env.example), and introduced new explorers (Bera Bepolia, tac-mainnet, pyrope-testnet) with quality-of-life improvements in getOptionalEnvString. Executed end-to-end deployments across Plasma, Lumia Beam Testnet, Pyrope-testnet, and Zksync-Sepolia; refined Ink deployment with Spout feeds; enhanced verification with skip, retry, and binary search. Documentation polish (Security.md) completed. Overall impact: faster time-to-market across multi-network initiatives, improved cost governance and monitoring, broader network reach, and more maintainable configuration.
