✅ Transaction hashes and inclusion status

✅ Global aggregate supply metrics (total, circulating, burned, reserved)

✅ Validator set information and performance metrics

✅ Governance proposals and voting results

✅ Network statistics (TPS, block time, node count)

✅ Aggregate transaction volume and fee metrics

❌ Individual transaction amounts (never displayed)
