How to know if my Waves node is on fork or not?

Question

I’m running my Waves node but I can’t figure out if I’m on fork or not. How to know exactly if the node is on a fork or not? is there a pywaves utility or API command that show it?

Answer 1

One way to go about this is by checking the blockchain height or the last 100 signatures of blocks to understand if your node is on a fork or not (compare block generators and signatures)
You can use the restapi with swagger on different nodes to compare block # on both. looking for different generators in the same block height.
