RPC Explorer

Simple, stateless SwiftCash blockchain explorer, via RPC. Built with Node.js, express, bootstrap-v4.

This tool is intended to be a simple, stateless, self-hosted explorer for the SwiftCash blockchain, driven by RPC calls to your own swiftcashd node. This tool is easy to run but lacks features compared to full-fledged (stateful) explorers.

I built this tool because I wanted to use it myself. Whatever reasons one might have for running a full node (trustlessness, technical curiosity, etc) it's helpful to appreciate the "fullness" of a node.

Features

• List of recent blocks
• Browse blocks by height, in ascending or descending order
• View block details
• View transaction details, with navigation backward via spent outputs
• View raw JSON output used to generate most pages
• Mempool/unconfirmed transaction counts by fee (sat/B)

Getting started

Prerequisites

1. Install and run a full, archiving node - instructions. Ensure that your node has full transaction indexing enabled (txindex=1) and the RPC server enabled (server=1).
2. Synchronize your node with the SwiftCash network.

Instructions

1. Clone this repo
2. npm install to install all required dependencies
3. Optional: Uncomment the "swiftcashd" section in env.js to automatically connect to the target node.
4. npm start to start the local server
5. Navigate to http://127.0.0.1/
6. Connect using the RPC credentials for your target swiftcash node (if you didn't edit env.js in Step 3)
