Block Explorer Development

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a Block Explorer and why does my blockchain need one?

  A Block Explorer is essentially a search engine and analytical tool for your blockchain. It allows users, developers, and auditors to view, verify, and track all transactions, blocks, wallet balances, and smart contract activities on your network. It's crucial for transparency, trust, and debugging.

• What features should a custom Block Explorer include?

  A robust explorer should include real-time transaction tracking, block height and confirmation status, detailed smart contract verification (reading and writing), token information/stats, and the ability to search by transaction ID, block number, or wallet address.

• Can you develop an explorer for both public and private blockchains?

  Yes. We develop explorers for public networks (like Ethereum/EVM chains) and customized versions for private, permissioned ledgers (like Hyperledger Fabric or custom DLTs), ensuring only authorized users can view necessary data on private chains.

• How long does it take Web3Twenty to develop and deploy a Block Explorer?

  The timeline typically ranges from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the complexity of your native blockchain (e.g., custom consensus mechanism, unique transaction types) and the specific features required.

• What maintenance is required after the explorer is launched?

  Post-launch maintenance primarily involves node synchronization management to ensure real-time data accuracy, regular security updates, and performance optimization to handle increasing network load and transaction volume.
