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

Is it fair to say that etherscan tracks users? What makes Ethereum a Panopticon is the transparency of the chain data. Not the third-party applications that visualize that data. Or is there something that I’m missing?

Yes it is fair to say that. They log all combinations "who accessed address" - "ip originated". They share this data on request

they have a social credit score now too on every address Want to know the score criteria? you're going to have to go to some other website called Blockchain Bureau dot com, sign up, share your name, phone #, where you work, your work email and close the tab cause they won't let you in
