Ethereum

Releasing ESPLR - a local ETH block explorer.

Big problem of ecosystem is reliance on 3rd party RPCs (infura, alchemy, quicknode). Also reliance on 3rd party explorers (etherscan). They track users: it makes system one big panopticon.

Local nodes can make the situation better!

PC with an archive node only costs $40/mo or $500 one-time. Esplr only needs RPC URL of an archive node. It can view transactions, account balances and token transfer history (unique feature). https://github.com/paulmillr/esplr

Super cool – love your minimalistic approach!

I’m building something similar @blockhead where you can choose between multiple RPC nodes and indexing providers – curious to know what you think.

does this have nft metadata? can I use this over alchemy or run my own node and get that data?
