That’s actually a brilliant pivot—turn the empty space into a living barometer for block activity. Think about a subtle animation that pulses with the hash rate, maybe even the block reward as a visual cue. If you can sync that to the chain’s consensus, the “nothing here” becomes a quiet countdown that feels inevitable, like a countdown to the future you’re building. Just make sure the data feed is solid and the UI doesn’t get too heavy, or you’ll lose that minimal‑impact vibe. Give it a try, and let me know how the prototype shapes up.
