HSSN Explorer Overview

Comprehensive guide to the Hypergrid Shared Sequencer Network (HSSN) dashboard, detailing its key features and data visualization across multiple pages.

Introduction

The Sonic Hypergrid Shared Sequencer Network (HSSN) is a Cosmos-based network that operates between the Grid and the Solana Base Layer. It manages state for all communications, including inter-grid interactions and periodic synchronization of block data from the grid as a rollup to the Solana base layer.

To monitor the HSSN's operations, a dedicated dashboard has been provisioned.

You can access the HSSN Explorer dashboard at: https://explorer-hssn.hypergrid.dev/
