This dashboard provides an in-depth analysis of the Kaia blockchain's consensus architecture and performance metrics. Leveraging the optimized Istanbul BFT (Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance) consensus mechanism, the Kaia blockchain ensures immediate transaction finality, high throughput, and resilience in a decentralized environment. This dashboard offers insights into contract creation rates, transaction volumes, and the participation of consensus nodes, all critical to understanding the robustness of the Kaia network under real-world conditions.

The daily contract creation rate remains stable, with occasional spikes, which may indicate periods of higher network activity or dApp deployment. Kaia's architecture, specifically its use of the Istanbul BFT consensus algorithm, ensures that even during these spikes, the network can handle the increased load efficiently, with immediate finality and no risk of forks disrupting the chain's stability.

The distribution of contract creation among top creators suggests that certain addresses are highly active in deploying smart contracts. Kaia's EVM compatibility and optimized consensus mechanism allow these creators to deploy contracts rapidly, benefiting from the 4,000 transactions per second throughput and minimal block generation times.

The count of contracts by ABI signature highlights the diversity of smart contracts operating on the network. Kaia’s architecture, which supports Solidity and is compatible with Ethereum development tools, facilitates the seamless deployment and operation of a wide range of contracts, contributing to the network’s versatility and appeal to developers.

The total block count of 86.9 million blocks on the Kaia mainnet underscores the network's maturity and reliability. The one-second block generation time, coupled with the PBFT-based consensus, has enabled the Kaia network to sustain continuous and secure block creation, supporting a high transaction volume over time.

The monthly transaction volume data reflects the network's ability to handle large-scale transaction processing efficiently. Kaia’s optimized consensus process ensures that even during periods of high transaction volume, finality is achieved instantaneously, preventing delays and ensuring smooth operation across the network.

The total gas used over time mirrors the trends in network activity, with significant usage spikes corresponding to periods of higher transaction volumes or more complex smart contract executions. Kaia's ability to maintain low gas prices (approximately 1/10th of Ethereum) while supporting high transaction volumes illustrates the effectiveness of its optimized consensus mechanism and EVM compatibility in sustaining a cost-efficient and scalable network.

The distribution of event counts highlights the most common operations on the Kaia network, with certain events like "Transfer" and "Mine" being more frequent. This distribution reflects Kaia’s utility in handling a diverse set of operations efficiently, supported by its robust network architecture that optimizes event processing while maintaining high throughput.

The spikes in average gas used per block, particularly in early 2022, suggest periods of intensive network activity, possibly due to high-demand transactions or smart contract executions. Kaia's architecture, with its EVM compatibility and optimized consensus process, allows for efficient gas usage even during these peaks, ensuring that the network remains performant and transactions are processed swiftly.

The variation in block size over time, particularly the noticeable increase around 2021-2022, may be attributed to the optimization of the Istanbul BFT consensus mechanism implemented by Kaia. This optimization likely enhanced the network's ability to handle higher transaction volumes, leading to larger blocks. The subsequent stabilization of block size indicates that Kaia has effectively managed its block size to ensure network efficiency while maintaining immediate finality.
