Some of the items you mentioned sound similar to information available here: https://status.solana.com/
Totally! That site is powered by Atlassian StatusPage; presumably they have an API that we could use to pipe the exact same megaphone messages to Explorer, if that's something we decide we want to do
Problem
When consensus is halted, the explorer website shows no information about

to match off-chain unix time)Proposed Solution
2 things
1) Show outage info on homepage of explorer: Open to discussion here. Minimum relevant info: i) Where to find more information (#mb-validators, official twitter account, perhaps even subscribe for email/text update) ii) Hypothesis for downtime iii) Postmortem for downtime iv) Would like to also have a link to docs.solana.com about:
What is effect to on-chain programs (i.e. vesting schedules, staking, etc)
Downtime history & what was done to fix each time (+ technical info for validators / indexers, like which hashes were used to restart from)
2) Add a
megaphone
: @steveluscher's suggestion is to add a red banner to explorer.solana.com with succinct info (ie a link to finding more information)@rmshea @jstarry @steveluscher
