Explore Ethereum-like blockchain privately with your RPC URL
Explore Ethereum-like blockchain privately with your RPC URL by mishaderidder.eth13093 🥝 • 2y • | |
AI summary of the linked articleesplr is a browser-based explorer for Ethereum-like blockchains that sends requests only to a user-specified RPC URL, avoiding third-party block explorers that log address lookups. It shows ETH and token balances and transaction history, converts balances to USD using on-chain Chainlink contract prices, and integrates with Sourcify for smart contract source verification. The project's README says it supports ERC-20 token transfer history, with a first query taking up to 50 seconds and later queries cached, while ERC-721 NFT support is still in progress. It recommends a self-hosted Erigon 3 archive node for full functionality, since some third-party providers have rate limits that make transaction history unavailable. | |

 Releasing ESPLR - a local ETH block explorer. Big problem of ecosystem is reliance on 3rd party RPCs (infura, alchemy, quicknode). Also reliance on 3rd party explorers (etherscan). They track users: it makes system one big panopticon. Local nodes can make the situation better! PC with an archive node only costs $40/mo or $500 one-time. Esplr only needs RPC URL of an archive node. It can view transactions, account balances and token transfer history (unique feature). | |
