🔧 Supercharge Masternode Monitoring with the XDC Governance DApp API

As the XDC Network continues to scale as an enterprise-ready, EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain, real-time access to validator, governance, and reward data becomes mission-critical for node operators. Whether you're running a masternode, building staking dashboards, or creating validator analytics tools, the XDC Governance DApp API offers a powerful and easy-to-use interface to track and automate masternode performance and uptime.

🔍 What Is the XDC Masternode DApp API?

The Masternode DApp API is a RESTful service connected directly to the XDPoS governance layer, designed to expose critical masternode data, including:

• Validator lifecycle status (active, proposed, slashed, resigned)
• Masternode rewards (real-time and historical)
• Slashing events & uptime metrics
• Block signer activity
• Governance transaction history

Unlike standard RPC endpoints, this API is read-only, lightweight, and tailored specifically for validator and governance monitoring—no authentication required, and responses are in clean JSON format, ideal for integration with JavaScript, Go, Python, and front-end apps.

⚙️ Key API Categories (with Examples)

✅ Masternode & Candidate Monitoring
Monitor masternode performance across lifecycle stages:

🧾 Sample Response:
[
  {
    "address": "xdcaa11fe9b14a2318b0c6eeb4e2b0fb8eeca7f7c8",
    "name": "TopStakerNode",
    "stake": "20000000",
    "status": "active",
    "commission": 2.0,
    "delegatedStake": "18000000",
    "delegateCount": 10,
    "uptime": 99.5
  }
]

💰 Rewards & ROI Tracking

Calculate real-time rewards for masternodes:

🧾 Sample Response:
{
  "epoch": 2981,
  "reward": "4560",
  "timestamp": "2024-06-22T12:00:00Z"
}

Use this to display real-time validator payouts in dashboards or reporting tools.

🛡️ Slashing & Validator Misconduct

Track misbehaving or penalized validators with ease:

Perfect for:

• Validator health alerts
• Uptime reliability analytics
• Reputation scoring systems

🔐 Block Signers & Validation Activity

Get data on the latest validator signer sets:

Ideal for tools validating block integrity and confirming consensus participation.

🧾 Governance-Related Transactions

Track all candidate-related activity on-chain:

🧪 Use Case: Masternode Health Dashboard (Real-Time)

Want to build a live validator monitoring panel? Here's a typical integration flow:

This makes it easy to build custom validator dashboards, email/SMS alerts, or even mobile apps for masternode operators.

💡 Quick Start Example (Node.js)

const axios = require('axios');
const API = 'https://mn.xinfin.network/api';

// Get all active masternodes
axios.get(`${API}/candidates/masternodes`)
  .then(res => console.log('Masternodes:', res.data))
  .catch(err => console.error('Error:', err));

// Get rewards for one node
axios.get(`${API}/candidates/xdcaa11fe9b14a2318b0c6eeb4e2b0fb8eeca7f7c8/ownerAddress/getRewards`)
  .then(res => console.log('Rewards:', res.data));

🚀 Final Thoughts

The XDC Masternode DApp API is a must-have for anyone building tools around validator analytics, masternode rewards, and uptime metrics. Whether you're developing a staking interface, uptime tracker, or governance monitoring service—it gives you full access to critical metrics without the need to run a full node.

Use It To:

✅ Track validator uptime and performance
✅ Monitor masternode rewards in real-time
✅ Automate slashing alerts and validator scoring
✅ Build dashboards, bots, or apps for XDC governance
