SmartCash Explorer

Simple, stateless SmartCash blockchain explorer, via RPC. Built with Node.js, express, bootstrap-v4.

This tool is intended to be a simple, stateless, self-hosted explorer for the SmartCash blockchain, driven by RPC calls to your own smartcashd node. This tool is easy to run but lacks features compared to full-fledged (stateful) explorers.

I built this tool because I wanted to use it myself. Whatever reasons one might have for running a full node (trustlessness, technical curiosity, etc) it's helpful to appreciate the "fullness" of a node.

Features

  • List of recent blocks
  • Browse blocks by height, in ascending or descending order
  • View block details
  • View transaction details, with navigation backward via spent outputs
  • View raw JSON output used to generate most pages
  • Mempool/unconfirmed transaction counts by fee (sat/B)

Getting started

Prerequisites

  1. Install and run a full, archiving node - instructions. Ensure that your node has full transaction indexing enabled (txindex=1) and the RPC server enabled (server=1).
  2. Synchronize your node with the SmartCash network.

Instructions

  1. Clone this repo
  2. npm install to install all required dependencies
  3. Optional: Uncomment the "smartcashd" section in env.js to automatically connect to the target node.
  4. npm start to start the local server
  5. Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:3002/
  6. Connect using the RPC credentials for your target smartcash node (if you didn't edit env.js in Step 3)
