# Public ecosystem

Official public services and their relationship to consensus

Qwertycoin's public services expose different views of the same network. They are useful interfaces, but none replaces validation by a full node.

## Website and releases

[qwertycoin.org](https://qwertycoin.org/) publishes project information and official download links. Stable update metadata is also published as DNSSEC- validated TXT records under `updates.qwertycoin.org`; clients must still verify release manifests and checksums rather than trust a filename alone.

## Explorer

[explorer.qwertycoin.org](https://explorer.qwertycoin.org/) displays canonical blocks, transactions and chain statistics. Alternative or orphaned blocks may be known to a daemon or pool without appearing as canonical explorer pages. Explorer indexing cannot decide consensus.

## Web Wallet

[wallet.qwertycoin.org](https://wallet.qwertycoin.org/) provides browser-based wallet operations, including exact-message signing and verification. Its gateway exposes a constrained RPC surface; administrative daemon RPC is not a public wallet API.

## Mining pool

[pool.qwertycoin.org](https://pool.qwertycoin.org/) is an optional PPLNS service for RandomX miners. Pool fees, payout thresholds and schedules are application policy and may change independently of consensus. The current values are published by the pool API and interface. A pool-reported block earns a reward only if it remains in the canonical chain.

## Node map

[nodes.qwertycoin.org](https://nodes.qwertycoin.org/) shows geospatially aggregated **observed public peer IPs** over 24-hour, 7-day and 30-day windows. It stores privacy-preserving keyed tokens for time-window deduplication rather than raw IP history and publishes rounded aggregate locations.

One IP is not necessarily one node or operator, and one observing daemon does not see the entire network. The map is operational telemetry, not an EPoSE membership or reward registry.

## Trust boundary

Applications can be delayed, unavailable, misconfigured or disagree with a node. Consensus-relevant decisions—block acceptance, transaction validity, EPoSE state and rewards—come from version-matched Core validation against the canonical chain.
