Agree, many people are using AEknow. There speaks nothing against taking these requirements mentioned here and provide those as features in other explorers.

This thread is - of course - mainly addressing https://explorer.aeternity.io/ which might be rethought completely at some point. Currently we are still working on making most important data accessible that is provided by the middleware.

The intention is not to make AEknow or other explorers obsolete. It is to collect general requirements and be able to build a great explorer. Ideally we have multiple great explorers in the aeternity ecosystem :wink:

edit

  • please don’t use this thread to make proposals about what products and aepps we need. open other threads to make proposals or just build the stuff you want :stuck_out_tongue:

I think directly copy eth browser interaction is ok, their functions and users have been used to, the function is also more general

As a curious user, might also be interesting to know which address holds most of the .chain names.

As I already pointed out that It is not easy to find test-net middleware host and gave suggestion to provide transaction inspection through middleware on block explorer

From above response…

what exactly would you expect from the middleware? too much room for interpretation here IMO. what information do you need in the explorer?

It would be great that if explorer can provide hyperlink of the transaction pointing on middleware.

just to let you all know → a lot of work has already put into the “new explorer”. we’re aiming to provide a functional and (IMO) very cool MVP before Christmas! the dashboard with live-data updates is almost finished :slight_smile:

we’re currently discussing the “brand name” of it. I remembered some branding vote for the middleware which didn’t really make sense to apply there as it’s not a “typical” product for regular users.

we thought about applying the name which won back then to the new explorer. the winning brand name back then was indæx (or indÆx).

over the past days new names were suggested and so we currently discuss following names:

  • indæx / indÆx
  • scæn / scÆn
  • scænner / scÆnner
  • æScan / Æscan
  • æternity explorer
  • æxplorer

what do you guys think? should we do another governance vote about that?

Thanks for noting this topic and bringing this back.
Also, one simple version of brand name could be just Æscan

I like aeScan as it is similar to etherscan/btcscan or polkascan. I think we are allowed to differ, but I think in the end it is better to have a market standard. It helps most for the logic for users to find it easier.

So this means I would suggest: aeScan or scaenner.
