Educational Byte: Checking Obyte Stats and Resources

Obyte is a big ecosystem with smart contracts, Autonomous Agents (AAs), attestations, oracles, internal assets, chatbots, and many Decentralized Finance (DeFi) applications. As such, there are a lot of aspects, items, and resources you may want to check, depending on your own activities inside the platform.

\ Except for stats and public transactions of the privacy coin Blackbytes (GBB) and other private tokens, for obvious reasons, the rest of the network is transparent for everyone to consult whatever they need. However, not every resource is directly available on the main website but on complementary sites. From some general data to liquidity providers (LP) reward lists, let’s explore some handy Obyte-related portals.

The main website of our network is Obyte.org, but there’s also an Obyte.io page. It’s not phishing or any other trap, but an open-source non-financial data explorer for Obyte, created by Fabien and currently maintained by tarmo888. Here, you can find information about all available assets (search bar included), attestors, oracles (data feeds), Autonomous Agents (Dapps), chatbots, Order Providers (previously witnesses), polls, and a ledger timeline.

\ All this data could help in the creation of smart contracts and conditional payments without coding, from the same Obyte wallet.

\

\ Likewise, we have a specific page for Obyte Stats, where it’s possible to check data like connected wallets, nodes, richest addresses, order providers, and transaction history. There’s also a specific site for Autonomous Agent Stats, showing Total Value Locked (TVL) in AAs, 24-hour turnover, most active agents, and activity.

\ Outside Obyte, CoinMarketCap (CMC) and CoinGecko have listed the Obyte native coin, GBYTE, and they show stats like historical price and market capitalization, available markets, supply, trading volume, and TVL from internal DeFi platforms.

\ For the latter purpose, Obyte is also present on DeFi Llama, where anyone can consult the specific charts and TVLs of our different DeFi applications. That includes the Counterstake Bridge, the Oswap.io DEX, the prediction market Prophet, our Pythagorean Perpetual Futures, and even the donation platform Kivach.

Liquidity providers from Oswap.io can check all details about the distribution of rewards on a dedicated website. Every seven days, 100 GBYTEs are distributed among all of them in proportion to their contributed liquidity. They can consult here the involved Autonomous Agent address (and its activity on the Obyte Explorer), eligible pools, TVL, distribution dates, yield percentage, and all LP addresses with their respective rewards. It’s also possible to consult previous distributions, or directly search by address.

\

\n There’s a similar site for the Kava Rise Program rewards. In 2023, Obyte registered two of its DeFi apps (Counterstake and LINE Token) to receive rewards from this program, in proportion to their TVL. To earn a part of the total rewards, users must simply hold imported tokens from the Kava network in their Obyte wallets.

\ On this site, users can consult every distribution by date, including wallet addresses, rewards in USD and LINE, and wallet Annual Percentage Yield (APY).

For developers and researchers, the main website lists several useful resources, including our whitepaper, blog, and Wiki. There’s also a separate developer website that includes a quick start, tutorials for newcomers, libraries, scripts, and all kinds of tools to build custom apps on the network. Of course, this is paired with our open-source repositories, available on GitHub.

\

\n An Obyte testnet with its own wallet and explorer is also available to developers and regular users alike to explore and experiment with most of the network features without financial risk. Developers can integrate it into their Dapp creation process, safely test functionalities, and provide feedback for improvements. Users, on the other hand, can use the wallet as a learning tool, simulating real transactions with valueless coins while exploring features like chatbots, merchant demos, and conditional payments.

\ Finally, you can find news, discussions, and guidance on our social media, especially on our Discord server. Here, you can discover channels for general discussions, help for any problems, grants proposals, platform statistics, announcements, and new projects for the entire community, developers, and the Obyte team to discuss their issues and ideas.
