BlockScout

Blockchain Explorer for inspecting and analyzing EVM Chains.

BlockScout provides a comprehensive, easy-to-use interface for users to view, confirm, and inspect transactions on EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) blockchains. This includes the POA Network, Gnosis Chain, Ethereum Classic and other Ethereum testnets, private networks and sidechains.

See our project documentation for detailed information and setup instructions.

For questions, comments and feature requests see the discussions section.

About BlockScout

BlockScout is an Elixir application that allows users to search transactions, view accounts and balances, and verify smart contracts on the Ethereum network including all forks and sidechains.

Currently available full-featured block explorers (Etherscan, Etherchain, Blockchair) are closed systems which are not independently verifiable. As Ethereum sidechains continue to proliferate in both private and public settings, transparent, open-source tools are needed to analyze and validate transactions.

Supported Projects

BlockScout supports a number of projects. Hosted instances include POA Network, Gnosis Chain, Ethereum Classic, Sokol & Kovan testnets, and other EVM chains.

• List of hosted mainnets, testnets, and additional chains using BlockScout

Getting Started

See the project documentation for instructions:

• Requirements
• Ansible deployment
• Manual deployment
• ENV variables
• Configuration options

Setting Network Information

• Static content:

  • Open file common-blockscout.env
  • Find the SUPPORTED_CHAINS. Assign it to the list of network. See more.
  • IMPORTANT: Must restart the Blockscout whenever changing the value of SUPPORTED_CHAINS to make it work.

• Dynamic content:

  • Open file common-blockscout.env
  • Add a new variable named S3_NETWORK_URL. The file must be public, the content is match the SUPPORTED_CHAINS data type.
