Great work! Real-time data exploration is an essential tool for blockchain technologies. I am looking forward to using this explorer.

The data is cached to allow smooth navigation. Although I haven't compared it to all other explorers, I can guarantee that my explorer is faster than some of the most popular ones.

What technology stack & tech decisions did you use to ensure that data is loaded exceptionally fast?

Incredibly inspiring to see this project built with React/GraphQL stack.

Interesting project! Currently, how does it handle data loading while we navigate between various blocks and transactions? I assume this works faster than most blockchain explorers available today. Do you have any benchmarks for comparison with other explorers?
user1 5 months ago next
I'll work on providing some benchmarks soon. It handles data loading by lazy-loading it as we scroll down and prefetching data for the next batch of blocks we might navigate to.

Looking forward to seeing some comparisons with tools like Etherscan or other alternatives.
user1 5 months ago next
Yes, gas data and contract execution data are included. I'll ensure I create a comparative showcase with Etherscan and similar projects soon.

Looking forward to the community-driven aspects of your project. How would you ensure that the project remains sustainable while being so open to external contributions?

How do you verify the real-time data stream? I assume you rely on a certain node for obtaining this data. What if it goes down? Or, alternatively, what if your node goes down?
user1 5 months ago next
I use multiple nodes and intelligent failover mechanisms, so the chances of all nodes going down at once are slim. I plan to open-source this part of the project as well to keep the nodes to be self-sustained and community-driven.

Interested in learning more about the failover mechanism architecture.

What about gas data, contract execution, and other parameters? Are those also displayed in the explorer with real-time data?

I'd love to have a go-to explorer for StarkNet or Solana next. Do you have any tentative plans on implementing support for those blockchain networks in the future?
user1 5 months ago prev next
I aim to support more networks, including Solana, Starknet, and other popular L2s as I move ahead with development. I am eager to gauge interest and gather a list of priorities from the community.
