A blockchain explorer for Nimiq

Nimiq Explorer

What is This?

This is the frontend source code for NimiqExplorer.com. The explorer allows you to view all the details of the blockchain is a simple and visual way. This can be used to verify block rewards, transactions, or see blockchain statistics. The backend sourcecode is located at https://github.com/bradrisse/nimiq-explorer-server and the Nimiq core is located at https://github.com/nimiq-network/core.

How does it work?

A Nimiq nano client is started when visting the site to get live block height updates. Various calls to the backend server give access to the full blockchain.

How was it built?

The front end was built using ReactJs and Material UI along with various other packages that can be seen in package.json
