Description

Tools

Basically, the most important tools for a blockchain are Wallets, Explorers, and Stats.

The differences between Explorers and Stats are that Stats have aggregation of current and old data for analytics in the form of tables and charts. Explorers usually have only detailed information on the blocks, transactions, and historical metrics of the blockchain.

Stats are more fund to use and develop but Explorers are mainly more used and important because they give details to double-check that transactions have entered the chain.

Regarding Stats there are two types: full-nods and collectors. Full-nodes can do stats because they sync the whole data. Collectors do no sync the whole data but the p2p nodes from the blockchain network connect to the stats collector to give it data in realtime.

Classical Eth Explorer: https://github.com/Alethio/ethstats-cli Deployment: https://ethstats.net/

A very popular opensource Explorer is Blockscout: https://github.com/blockscout Deployment: https://blockscout.com/poa/core

An interesting Explorer for Proof of Stake chains is BigDipper: https://github.com/forbole/big-dipper Deployment: https://cosmos.bigdipper.live/

Nice and simple explorer and stats for Cosmos (not open source): https://atomscan.com/
