Oct 1, 2025

October 2025 monthly summary focusing on feature delivery and deployment improvements in blockscout/helm-charts. Implemented an explicit improvement to network configuration flexibility by making NEXT_PUBLIC_NETWORK_SHORT_NAME optional in the blockscout-stack Helm chart and updating the frontend deployment template to conditionally include the variable with adjusted defaults. This reduces configuration friction for multi-network environments and improves maintainability of deployment templates, aligning with business goals to accelerate multi-network support.
