Live BNB Smart Chain
Indexes new blocks as they arrive and keeps about the last 400,000.
Use case 02 · New & growing EVM chains
A block explorer with your chain's name on it: token transfers, verified contracts and an API.
An explorer is where people check a transaction, an address or a token. Give them one that carries your chain's name and colour palette, so your network looks like itself from the first search.
Users can follow token activity and inspect contract details. Developers can upload Solidity or Vyper source and the explorer checks it against the deployed bytecode, compiling with the official solc and Vyper releases.
A young chain rarely needs the same storage as an established one. Keep a rolling window of recent activity, or index the available history from genesis, depending on your users, data availability and storage budget.
Wallets, dashboards and other tools in your ecosystem can read the same indexed records as the explorer through a read-only API. As new contracts and token types appear, decoding for them can be added from the retained raw data. Read the API docs (opens in a new tab)
See it for yourself
The same software your chain's explorer would run, keeping up with a busy public chain that adds a block about every 0.45 s.

Before we talk
Yes, in Solidity or Vyper. Verified source then shows on the contract's page in your own explorer.
No. The explorer can keep a rolling window of recent activity, as the BNB Smart Chain demo does, or index the available history, as FSNEX does for Fusion.
Yes. A read-only API makes the indexed records available beyond the explorer.
Yes. Raw chain data is retained, so new decoding can be added without fetching everything from the chain again.
