#4 Open Source Block Explorers NOW!
Channel: Giveth
Date: 2018-05-04

This is the fourth open call coordinating the creation of quality open source EVM block explorers, Click "SHOW MORE" to find SOOOOO MANY LINKS: 

Notes from this call are at the bottom, I apologize for the bad sound quality :-(

Quick update on Web3Scan - Griff

Last week Emiel from Web3Scan joined our little community and he had this to say:
After watching the first 3 episodes of our initiative he believes Web3scan complements the group by focussing on de DB layer, specifically by building large dbs by harvesting and indexing all data of the various networks. This should result in (SQL) queryable dbs aimed to assist developers, academia, researchers and operators of consortium networks. In the short term they do not plan to develop a user interface (public web interface or API), or a method to decentralize building the DB. In our opinion this distracts from the #NOW component. In the short term they aim to solve an immediate service management problem to distribute harvested and indexed greater than TB level databases to our audience. They are aware that this requires some trust in our services, but data can of course be verified by making sample tests with other sources. The idea with access to these large DB is of course that you can find answers to questions that the clients (Parity/Geth) or the block explorers (etherscan/etherchain) do not provide easily.
And specifically as far as work they did last week, they sync'd about 10 different networks with Parity nodes in archive/trace/fatdb mode. Amongst others Poanetwork, Kovan, Ropsten, Mix, Musicoin, Expanse, Ella, Toma, Ether Classic. His next move is to make preparations to harvest and index these networks in their relational DB model.

Quick update on Shokku (I’ll include VulcanizeDB code into the project? I’m not sure yet) - Aldo (Sound was great!) https://youtu.be/lIrxWIgSprQ?t=7m48s 

Update from POA Network -Igor (BAD SOUND)

Update From MEW - Kosala https://youtu.be/lIrxWIgSprQ?t=15m32s  (Sound was great!) 

At the end there was a fun conversation with people from Infura, Quickblocks, Ubiq, POA Network and the Ethereum foundation..  (Sound was great!)  https://youtu.be/lIrxWIgSprQ?t=41m7s 

Thanks for being part of the movement!
