## Summary

This week the author explored and refactored Contraktor, an archived open source Ethereum explorer that had not been updated in some time and was not working properly. Contraktor lets users browse common DeFi projects or any verified Etherscan smart contract, find related contracts on different networks, and visualize and interact with a contract's resources and state. The author says they connected Rainbowkit, Wagmi and Ethers to the explorer and refactored its types in TypeScript, and found the @studydefi/money-legos npm package, which provides mainnet addresses, ABIs and Solidity interfaces for popular DeFi protocols. The next step planned is developing a detailed information view and improving the user interface.

## Article

This week I explored and refactored an archived open source Ethereum explorer called Contraktor. The project had not been updated in some time and was not working properly, so I took it upon myself to bring it back to life.

Contraktor

Contraktor is an open source Ethereum explorer that provides users with the ability to browse through common DeFi projects or any other verified smart contract from Etherscan, find related smart contracts on different networks, and visualize and interact with the contract's resources and state. It is written in JavaScript and uses React for the frontend and Node.js for the backend.

Contraktor is an excellent tool for developers who are looking to explore and interact with the Ethereum blockchain. It provides a user-friendly interface that allows users to easily navigate through the various contracts on the network and view detailed information about them. Furthermore, it also provides users with the ability to find related smart contracts on different networks and interact with their resources and state.

Overall, Contraktor is a powerful tool that can be used by developers to quickly explore and interact with the Ethereum blockchain.

Updated NextJs Ethereum Explorer

NextJs Ethereum Explorer provides users with the ability to browse through common DeFi projects or any other verified smart contract from Etherscan, find related smart contracts on different networks, and visualize and interact with the contract's resources and state. To achieve this, I connected Rainbowkit Wagmi Ethers to the explorer and refactored the types in Typescript.

In addition, I discovered a really great npm package @studydefi/money-legos that provides users with the mainnet addresses, ABIs, and Solidity interfaces for popular DeFi protocols. This was a great discovery and will make it much easier for developers to work with DeFi protocols in their own projects.

Conclusion

Overall, this week was productive and I am making good progress on the project. In the next week, I will continue developing the detailed information view and improve the user interface for the project.
