## Enhancing Validator Transparency and On-Chain Recognition The latest update to the Datamine Network introduces new tools designed to reward long-term participation and provide deeper insights into network health. As an entirely decentralized, ownerless system built on smart contracts, Datamine relies on its community of validators to lock assets and secure the ecosystem. ### New On-Chain Milestone Achievement To recognize sustained validator commitment, the update introduces a brand-new on-chain achievement. Active validators who have consistently minted FLUX for at least two years will now receive this unique on-chain designation. This milestone highlights the long-term alignment of participants supporting the network's decentralized inflation-management system. ### Active vs. Dormant Timeline Metric Understanding network participation is critical for analyzing the velocity and distribution of the DAM and FLUX ecosystem. The update rolls out an "Active vs. Dormant" timeline metric. This data point helps users distinguish active on-chain minting addresses from dormant ones—specifically targeting validators who have not minted in over three years. This classification enhances the accuracy of the platform's real-time dashboard and supply analytics. Explore these new metrics and track real-time network data directly on the official [Datamine Network Dashboard](https://datamine.network).
