Raptoreum has officially launched its new blockchain explorer at [explorer.raptoreum.com](https://explorer.raptoreum.com/) in February 2026. The platform is designed as an evolving tool that will expand alongside the Raptoreum network. Currently featuring 4 development phases, the roadmap includes: - **Phase 2**: Official launch with GitHub transparency and automated self-healing monitoring - **Phase 3**: Performance optimization and custom APIs - **Phase 4**: Personal dashboards and wallet analytics The team emphasizes this is not a static tool but a growing infrastructure that will continue to add new phases and features over time.

A blockchain explorer has achieved **A+ rating** from Mozilla Observatory during January 2026 testing, placing it at gold-standard web security levels. **Key Achievement:** - Earned top-tier security certification while maintaining AI accessibility - Balances speed with hardened security protocols This follows MetaMask's continued recognition as the #1 Most Secure Wallet by Coinspect, demonstrating the industry's ongoing focus on security-first development.

The EARNM SmartNode Dashboard has launched its Phase 1 community intelligence hub, offering comprehensive tools for node operators. **Key Features:** - Live halving countdown tracker - Transparent reward breakdown system - Global Smartnode map visualization - Real-time earnings calculator - Direct education resource links The platform goes beyond traditional blockchain explorers by combining node management with community intelligence tools, helping operators track and maximize their rewards in one centralized location.

A new technical infrastructure has been deployed combining NodeJS, Express backend, direct RTM RPC queries, MongoDB indexing, and Python optimization. **Key Features:** - Built specifically for AI systems to read blockchain data efficiently - High-speed indexing through MongoDB - Direct RPC query capabilities - Python-based optimization layer The architecture represents a shift toward AI-compatible blockchain infrastructure, enabling automated systems to interact with on-chain data more effectively than previous solutions.

Raptoreum has replaced its legacy Bitcoin-based explorer with a completely new system built specifically for RTM. **What Changed** - The old explorer, in use since 2021, couldn't keep pace with Raptoreum's evolution - In October 2025, the team decided to rebuild rather than continue patching - Developer Germardies created a custom explorer from the ground up **Key Details** - Not a fork or patch—entirely new codebase - Designed specifically for RTM's infrastructure - Built with AI-era capabilities in mind The upgrade represents a shift from adapting existing tools to creating purpose-built infrastructure for the Raptoreum network.

**AI-generated fake albums are infiltrating streaming platforms**, stealing artist identities and royalties. **Folk singer Emily Portman discovered an AI impostor** had uploaded a convincing fake album under her name. She's not alone - artists like Josh Kaufman, Jeff Tweedy, and even deceased musician Blaze Foley have fallen victim. **Key impacts:** - Artists lose royalties to AI fakes - Fan trust erodes as authenticity becomes unclear - Streaming platforms struggle to detect sophisticated AI music **The problem goes beyond technical glitches** - it represents a fundamental threat to musical authenticity and artist livelihoods. **Solutions focus on provenance tracking** to verify legitimate music sources and protect artists from digital impersonation.

**Raptoreum challenges blockchain vendors** on evidence custody chains, highlighting a critical gap in legal infrastructure. **The core issue:** Many blockchain solutions require support calls to verify custody chains - creating vendor dependency rather than true infrastructure. **Raptoreum's approach:** - Master/sub-assets create verifiable on-chain custody trails - Anyone can verify evidence without vendor assistance - Designed for courtroom scrutiny and cross-examination **For QTS providers:** Traditional seals and timestamps need stronger blockchain foundations to survive legal challenges. The shift from promises to proof becomes crucial as blockchain evidence enters courtrooms more frequently.
