Network Timeline
Dated from the chain's blocks, the repositories' commits and the published documents. Last entry 2026-11-03.
Every dated fact about the Pixa network in one place: what happened, when, and where the date comes from. Each entry is a block timestamp, a commit, a release or a document, so it can be checked. Events that are only planned are on the Roadmap; the Steem and Hive history that leads up to genesis is on From STEEM to HIVE to PIXA.
Times are UTC. Blocks come every 3 seconds, but a slot is missed now and then, so a block's time is read from condenser_api.get_block_header, not computed from its number: by 2026-10-08 the head block, 979,867, sat 1,075 slots, about 54 minutes, behind where an unbroken sequence would put it. Where PXS is mentioned, PXS promises no price; the feed figures are the witnesses' reference, not a market.
