Light, serverless IPFS-hosted Ethereum explorer app that connects directly to your Ethereum JSON-RPC node. Intended to be fast and handy for Ethereum node runners without the need to run it yourself.
No backend, no servers, and no required third-party infrastructure: your browser queries the node you configure for chain data. Some optional UX features, such as unknown event signature resolution, can use public metadata services when enabled in settings.
So far the application is capable to browse blocks, transactions, and accounts on any Ethereum-compatible chain.
This explorer is installation-free and serverless by design. The app is a simple index.html file shared over the IPFS network, and all logic runs locally in your browser.
You can open it directly in your browser:
- With an ENS-enabled browser: nodex.monkale.eth
- Without ENS support: nodex.monkale.eth.limo
You need direct access to your Ethereum node. After opening the app, choose Configure RPC Endpoint, enter your Ethereum JSON-RPC URL, and start exploring blocks, transactions, and accounts.
If you want to compile your own version instead, see Build instructions.
