Hey! You have an issue in your nginx config:
https://zcashexplorer.app/ leads to “welcome to nginx” page
You need to put a 302 redirect to https://mainnet.zcashexplorer.app/ - let me know if you need help with the config.
Hi,
Thank you for pointing this out. The landing page is back.

The explorer looks stuck. TXIDs returns Internal server error.
API responses from https://mainnet.zcashexplorer.app/api/v1/blockchain-info are outdated (from block height 3213999)
https://zecstats.info relies on this API for fetching shielded pools and lockbox info.
I’m on it now

Hi Everyone,
This is a brief recap of last months:
- A Mainnet cluster has been maintained. It includes two servers 12cores+16GB RAM running Zcashd and Blockexplorer each.
URL: https://mainnet.zcashexplorer.app/ - A testnet server has been maintained. It is a single instance server.
URL: https://testnet.zcashexplorer.app/ - A status page has been deployed monitoring servers status. Send me a DM to get access to Telegram notifications.
URL: BlockExplorer Resources status page - Issues reported in this channel were addressed promptly.
Next steps:
- Implement scrapers and AI bots (Amazonbot or Claude) blockers to prevent visits. Every new AI vendor needs data to train models, and the scrapers take most of our resources.
- Develop code changes to support Zaino instead of Zcashd node. This migration is a must per the Zcashd sunset.

Hi all,
Quick notes about last months:
- A Zaino based version is being tested. It should be released soon.
- A set of Scrappers and AI blockers rules have been added to block well-known bots (For example, Claude or amazonbot). However, there are many bots that use thousands of IPs and unique user agents that makes impossible to block. I’m analyzing to introduce a Javascript challenge to confirm there is a browser behind the request.
I’ll keep you posted.

Hi @cacho, it has been over a month since your last forum update. As a reminder, ZCG requires monthly updates so the community can stay informed about the progress of funded projects.
Please post an update to this thread with the current status of your grant at your earliest convenience.
We have previously sent three reminders through your GitHub grant issue and have not yet received a response.
Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you 
HI,
A brief update on the grant:
- During the last months. All servers were updated with the latest June releases. Currently they are runinning ZCashd versions 6.20 and Zebra 5.20.
- The latest improvements on NGINX helped on reducing the Crawlers load with no downtime.
There is a release planed for this week to integrate with Zebra.
