# February 2026 Anthony’s Engineering Blog (Japanese Translation)

Hello everyone, and happy Lunar New Year! 🧧

I took a short break for the happy mood of Lunar New Year and for shrine visits. It is one of the truly special times of the year, when family and friends come back home and everyone can gather and enjoy being reunited.

Even though I took a little time off, I did not completely stop working. Before getting back to my usual routine, I managed to carve out some time, get a bit of work done, and move a few tasks forward.

## Summary of Main Work

- Progress on account/block-related endpoints
- Improvements to `/nem/health`
- Completion of namespace transaction puller logic
- Ongoing LightAPI improvements for better data handling

## Details of Each Task

**Nem Explorer (Puller)**

- Implemented namespace transaction processing logic, including reading data from the chain and saving it to the database.

**Nem Explorer (REST API)**

- Added the `beneficiary` field to the `/nem/block` endpoint as support for LightAPI/Python began.
- Refactored the `/nem/accounts` endpoint and improved unit test coverage. This made the implementation more robust and easier to maintain.
- Extended the `/nem/health` endpoint so it can report backend service health, including the latest synced block information and sync errors. This allows the frontend to understand the current backend state more accurately and show users the right status information.

**Lightapi / Python**

- Fixed the transaction `signer` field, which had previously been returned as a plain string.
- Wrapped these fields as `PublicKey` and `Address` objects to improve API consistency and make them easier to use in the puller.
- As a result, the puller can use these values directly without any extra conversion logic.

## What’s Next

Namespace transaction processing and storage are complete, so the next step is to start building the namespace processing workflow.
This will cover root and subnamespaces, expiration information, ownership details, and other metadata needed by the explorer.

Thank you for reading this far. See you again next time! 🏴‍☠️
