This tool is intended to be a simple, self-hosted and database-free explorer for the Itasecoin blockchain, driven by RPC calls to your own Itasecore node. This tool is easy to run but currently lacks features compared to database-backed explorers.

Whatever reasons one might have for running a full node (trustlessness, technical curiosity, supporting the network, etc) it's helpful to appreciate the "fullness" of your node. With this explorer, you can not only explore the blockchain (in the traditional sense of the term "explorer"), but also explore the functional capabilities of your own node.

Live demo available at explorer.itasecoin.com.

Features

• Browse blocks
• View block details
• View transaction details, with navigation "backward" via spent transaction outputs
• Search by transaction ID, block hash/height, and address
• Optional transaction history for addresses by querying from ElectrumX and blockchair.com
• Mempool summary, with fee, size, and age breakdowns
• RPC command browser and terminal

Prerequisites

1. Install and run a full node - Itasecore Releases. Ensure that your devault node has full transaction indexing enabled (txindex=1) and the RPC server enabled (server=1).
2. Synchronize your node with the Itasecoin network.
3. "Recent" version of Node.js (8+ recommended).

Instruction
