Blockchain Explorer

Project Overview

As a blockchain developer or enthusiast, you need a powerful tool to inspect and analyze blockchain data. This project creates a professional blockchain explorer that helps users understand and navigate complex blockchain data structures.

User Stories

1. As a blockchain user, I want to:

   • Search for specific transactions using their hash
   • View detailed information about blocks, including timestamps and miners
   • Track transaction status and confirmations in real-time
   • Analyze wallet addresses and their transaction histories

2. As a developer, I want to:

   • Monitor network statistics and health
   • Debug smart contract interactions
   • Export transaction data for analysis
   • Track gas prices and network congestion

3. As a data analyst, I want to:

   • Generate visualizations of blockchain metrics
   • Export data in various formats (CSV, JSON)
   • Create custom filters for transaction analysis
   • Set up alerts for specific blockchain events

Example Code

const Web3 = require('web3');
const web3 = new Web3('YOUR_NODE_URL');

async function getLatestBlocks(count) {
  const latest = await web3.eth.getBlockNumber();
  const blocks = [];
  
  for (let i = 0; i < count; i++) {
    const block = await web3.eth.getBlock(latest - i);
    blocks.push(block);
  }
  
  return blocks;
}
