Summary

Evmos has approved the "Evmos Shutdown" governance proposal, setting a planned network stop at block height 37,318,000. In blockchain systems, a block height marks a specific point in the chain’s transaction history, making it a standard way to schedule upgrades or halts. The project’s block explorer (tool for viewing on-chain activity) and official website are currently inaccessible, limiting public access to chain data and project information at the time of the announcement.

Terms & Concepts
  • Governance proposal: A formal on-chain or community decision process through which token holders or network participants approve operational changes.
  • Block height: The sequential number of a block in a blockchain, used to identify an exact point for events such as upgrades, pauses, or shutdowns.
  • Validator nodes: Computers that help confirm transactions and maintain blockchain operations according to the network’s consensus rules.
