Truthlnked Blockchain was designed not to produce blocks while transactions are not flowing in, to help with storage. PQ signatures are large and churn storage out very fast.
This is demand-driven block production working exactly as intended.
TruthLinked does not mint empty blocks on a fixed interval like Ethereum or Solana.
A block is only produced when there is a transaction to finalize.
No activity means no blocks. The chain is live, the validators are running, and the state is intact.
The explorer going quiet is a sign of low traffic, not a network failure.
To get blocks moving, create your wallet with the Axiom CLI and send a transaction on devnet.
First install the CLI:
cargo install axiom-cli v0.1.3
Then add Cargo's bin directory to your PATH so the axiom command is found.
Pick your OS:
macOS and Linux:
export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"
To make it permanent, add that line to your ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or ~/.profile then run:
source ~/.bashrc
Windows (PowerShell):
$env:PATH = ";$env:USERPROFILE\.cargo\bin"
To make it permanent on Windows, run:
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PATH",
$env:PATH ";$env:USERPROFILE\.cargo\bin", "User")
Then get devnet funds and trigger a block:
axiom keygen --encrypt
#this makes every transaction that needs to be signed to as for your password. ensure its kept safe. no body can recover it for you
or
axiom keygen
#no encryption
then you get your testnet tokens
axiom faucet
you can start building and testing
