At the end of April (technically on 1 May UTC), the inaugural Nexa halving occurred. The first block after the halving, 1,050,001, was mined on 1 May 01:36 UTC, with a block reward of 5,000,000 NEXA coins and crossing the 50% of the total supply mark.

An important network release is Rostrum 14.0.0. Find more insights in the April newsletter below.
