Cosmos Explorer
Graphical interface to explore validators, fullnodes, and blocks for Cosmos Hub testnets.
Backend Requirement
The Explorer is stateless and relies on a high-throughput Cosmos full node to connect to. The Explorer requires both the Tendermint RPC and the Cosmos LCD REST endpoints to be available publicly through TLS-secured subdomains. The convention is https://rpc.fullnode.com and https://lcd.fullnode.com.
To change the backend, edit the file ./src/store/modules/blockchain.js. On the lines 5 and 6, change the technofractal.com part of the URL to your full node's domain name.
rpc: "https://rpc.technofractal.com",
lcd: "https://lcd.technofractal.com",
And change the line 27 too:
const client = RpcClient("wss://rpc.technofractal.com:443")
WARNING: Every user that visits the Explorer opens two websockets to the default full node. The user will continue to spam your full node with AJAX requests until they close the page. We need a better backend solution for the Explorer! Please help if you can.
