Reading the chain as it writes itself.
INDEX·00 is a an instrument for reading the public chain. INDEX·00 is a single-fold reader for the Ethereum execution layer — block cadence, fee orbitals, in-block auctions, calldata bytespace, and sender meshes. No charts. No dashboards. A document.
Cadence
The chain breathes on a twelve-second target. Variance reads as deviation from that line — a tall spike is a slot that arrived late, a downward one is a slot that came early. Read the rhythm, not the value.
Fig. ECG-style cadence over the last 0 blocks. Spike height = deviation from the 12-second target. Mean |Δ|: 0.00 s.
| block | Δ | txs |

Fee orbital
EIP-1559 base fee, plotted radially. Each concentric arc is one block; its radius is the base fee, its fill is the gas-used fraction. The outermost ring is the oldest in the window; the marked arc is now.
Concentric rings. Radius = base fee (lo→hi mapped to 0–0 gwei). Arc fill = gas-used / limit. Outer = oldest.
| height | base | use |

median base-fee in window: 0 gwei.
Auction ladder
One line per transaction in the head block. Vertical position is the order in which the builder included the transaction; horizontal length is the priority tip on a log scale. Read top-to-bottom: a clean monotonic decay is a well-formed auction.

Calldata bytespace
The single tx in the head block with the most calldata, plotted as adjacent byte pairs. Uniform scatter implies entropy near 8 bits/byte — likely encrypted or compressed. Clusters along the axes betray structure: padded zeros, repeated selectors, addresses.
x = byte[i], y = byte[i+1]. 0 bytes · entropy 0.00 bits/byte (highly structured)

Sender mesh
Aggregated edges between distinct senders and recipients in the head block. The mass of crossings near the centre is one block worth of intent. Marked nodes are the most active actors; the rust dot is contract creation.
block #— · 0 unique senders · 0 unique recipients · showing top-22 on each side. Edge weight ∝ tx count.
Account stratum
When a wallet is bound this section displays its current readings: address, ens, chain, balance, nonce, plus a deterministic glyph derived from the address bytes.
No wallet bound. Connect from the masthead to render the per-account stratum — current nonce, balance, network identity.
readings here are scoped to your address only.
