When you're building on Ethereum, a basic block explorer isn't enough.
As backend engineers, bot developers, and protocol builders, we don’t just need to look up transactions. We need to:
Inspect gas behavior in real time
Monitor mempool competition
Track whale movements
Validate node health
Simulate contract calls before execution
Most explorers weren’t built for that.
So we built one that is.

The Problem with Traditional Explorers
Traditional blockchain explorers focus on:
Transaction transparency
Token balances
Block history
But when you're running infrastructure in production, you need more context.
You often end up juggling:
A block explorer
A mempool tracker
A whale alert service
Node monitoring dashboards
A separate RPC simulator
That fragmentation slows debugging and increases operational risk.
We decided to unify those layers into a single developer-grade interface.
What This Explorer Actually Does
The Ktzchen Web3 Explorer is built as an infrastructure dashboard, not just a block viewer.
Currently running on Ethereum Mainnet, it provides:
Smart contract & transaction analysis
Real-time mempool monitoring
Whale activity tracking
Node statistics
Gas-free contract simulation (Test Mode)
Let’s break it down.
Contract & Transaction Analysis
You can search by:
Contract address
Transaction hash
Block number
Token
Domain name
But instead of just returning raw data, the explorer structures execution context:
Hash
From / To
Value
Gas price (Gwei)
Gas limit
Block number
Block age
Execution status
This makes it easier to:
Debug failed transactions
Identify gas inefficiencies
Analyze contract interaction patterns
Detect suspicious behavior
It behaves more like a lightweight contract inspection tool than a simple explorer.
Real-Time Whale Tracking
Large balance changes can signal:
Liquidity shifts
Governance moves
Token volatility
Arbitrage opportunities
The explorer tracks significant ETH movements in real time, showing:
Address
Balance change
Direction (incoming/outgoing)
Block number
Transaction hash
For DeFi builders and bot developers, this visibility can be integrated into monitoring logic or trading systems.
No third-party alert dependency required.
Mempool Monitoring
If you're building:
NFT mint infrastructure
Trading bots
MEV-aware systems
High-frequency contract interactions
Mempool awareness is critical.
The explorer allows you to:
Monitor pending transactions
Observe gas competition
Evaluate congestion before inclusion
Analyze transaction timing
Instead of reacting after confirmation, you can anticipate behavior.
Node Statistics (Infrastructure Transparency)
One feature that most explorers ignore: node health.
We expose real-time node metrics such as:
Gas usage (% of block utilization)
Average gas price
Base fee
Connected peers
Latency
Response time
Current block number
Sync status (100% synced)
Client version (e.g., Geth)
Why does this matter?
Because if your RPC layer degrades, your backend fails silently.
Observability at the node level improves reliability in production systems.
Test Mode: Simulate Without Spending Gas
One of the most useful features for developers is Test Mode.
Using your API key, you can simulate contract interactions without paying real gas.
You can:
Test ERC-20 transfers
Validate calldata
Interact with contract functions
Simulate execution results
Debug backend integrations
Example use case:
0xa9059cbb000000000000000000000000...
Instead of broadcasting blindly and paying gas, you simulate first.
This is particularly useful when building:
Automation bots
Backend transaction relayers
Contract integration pipelines
Deployment scripts
Why We Built This
While building Ethereum backend infrastructure and bots, we repeatedly ran into:
RPC reliability issues
Blind execution during congestion
Lack of unified mempool + node visibility
Poor simulation workflows
We wanted a space focused on infrastructure and backend topics — not just user-facing block data.
This explorer is part of that effort.
Who Is This For?
Ethereum backend engineers
DeFi protocol teams
Bot developers
Smart contract testers
Infrastructure operators
If you're shipping production Web3 systems, observability is not optional.

If you're building on Ethereum and care about real-time infrastructure visibility, I’d love feedback from fellow devs.
