Onyx Explorer is an open source, easy-to-use interface to analyze, interact and inspect transactions on EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) blockchains. L2, rollups, private chains, forks and Ethereum itself.

Onyx Explorer running on Onyx Carbon (testnet)

The ethos of blockchain technology is based in trust backed by verifiable proofs. While there are commercial solutions available such as Etherscan-- commercial solutions aren't open source or independently verifiable. As chains are increasingly more private and abstracted from mainnet there is an increased need for transparency in validation and transaction analysis.

General guidelines

The NextJS application requires an EVM compatible JSON-RPC API connection and environmental configuration. Example:

$ export JSONRPC=https://path.to.rpc
$ export PORT=43512
$ export COIN=ONX
$ export NETWORK=ONXCARBON
  • Database Storage 2TB SSD
  • RPC support for 200 req/sec to index against volume
  • Parity pending transaction support (RPC)
  • All core RPC Methods
