Blockchain explorers / Web3 dashboards
We develop blockchain explorers and Web3 dashboards: interfaces for viewing, searching and analyzing on-chain data (transactions, addresses, contracts, tokens, protocol metrics). Honestly and bluntly upfront: this is a tool for visualizing PUBLIC blockchain data — it shows what is already open and does not add privacy (on the contrary, it makes on-chain activity more visible). The dashboard takes data from a node/indexer or a third-party API — meaning it depends on their availability and freshness (it can lag or go down, and this is beyond full control). For simple tasks a ready-made public explorer (like Etherscan) is often enough; building your own is worth it when there is a real specific need. We will honestly assess whether you need your own.
Blockchain explorers / Web3 dashboards — overview
A blockchain explorer is an interface for viewing blockchain data: find a transaction, view an address's balance and history, study a smart-contract, token, block. A Web3 dashboard is an analytical interface over on-chain data: protocol metrics, user activity, TVL, fund movements, custom reports for your project. Data is taken from the blockchain via a node, an indexer (e.g. subgraphs) or third-party data APIs. Honestly about 'this is public data, not privacy', this matters: the blockchain is public and transparent by nature. An explorer/dashboard merely conveniently shows what is already available to everyone. It does not make data more private — on the contrary, it increases the visibility of on-chain activity (who, how much, where). It is a transparency tool, and it is important to understand that it shows open information, not 'reveals secrets'. Honestly about dependence on the data source: a dashboard does not store the blockchain itself — it relies on a node, indexer or third-party API. So its freshness and availability depend on this source: data can lag (indexing lag), the source can go down or change conditions/limits (especially third-party APIs). This must be honestly built into the architecture and expectations. Honestly about accuracy: a dashboard shows data as the source provides it and as we aggregate it; errors in the aggregation logic or in the source give wrong figures. The dashboard by itself does not make data more accurate — accuracy depends on the source and the correctness of processing. Honestly about 'a ready-made one is often enough': for basic tasks (view a transaction, balance) there are ready-made public explorers (Etherscan and analogs) — building your own for that is excessive. Your own explorer/dashboard is justified when you need specific analytics for your protocol, custom metrics, a branded interface or private aggregation that ready-made ones lack. We will honestly assess whether it is your case. Honestly about the effect: we give a convenient interface tailored to you for on-chain data and analytics, but with an honest understanding of data publicity and dependence on the source. Honestly about access: a real on-chain project/data and a need for custom analytics are required. An important boundary: this is an explorer/dashboard (data visualization); smart-contracts — 1083; DeFi — 1076; token — 1073. The base price starts from 90,000 ₽ (depends on metrics and data sources).
Problems we solve
- A custom interface for on-chain data/analytics for your project is needed.
- Ready-made public explorers do not provide the needed specific metrics.
- An expectation that a dashboard adds privacy (on the contrary — data is public).
- Dependence on a node/indexer/third-party API (lag, failures, limits) is not accounted for.
What's included in the Blockchain explorers / Web3 dashboards service
- Blockchain explorer / Web3 dashboard development for your data
- Connecting a source (node/indexer/subgraph/data API) accounting for limits
- Custom metrics, search, reports for your protocol
- Handling indexing lag, failures and source unavailability
- Honest boundaries (data is public, not privacy; dependence on the source; accuracy depends on the source/aggregation; for basic tasks ready-made explorers suffice)
- An honest assessment: is your own needed or is Etherscan/a ready-made one enough
- Documentation and handover
- Review with you
What you get
- A custom interface for viewing and analyzing on-chain data
- Metrics and reports for your protocol accounting for the data source
- An honest assessment: for basic tasks a ready-made explorer is enough
- Honest boundaries (data is public; dependence on the source; accuracy depends on the source)
How the work goes: steps
- We assess the task: is your own dashboard needed or is a ready-made explorer enough
- We connect the data source, build metrics and failure/lag handling
- We honestly set boundaries (publicity, dependence, accuracy) and hand over to you

FAQ
Will a dashboard make my on-chain data more private?
No, on the contrary, honestly: the blockchain is public by nature, and an explorer/dashboard merely conveniently shows what is already available to everyone. It increases the visibility of on-chain activity (who, how much, where) rather than hiding it. It is a transparency tool showing open information, not a way to add privacy. We honestly warn about this so there are no false expectations.
Is the data in the dashboard always accurate and fresh?
With caveats, honestly: a dashboard does not store the blockchain itself — it relies on a node, indexer or third-party API. So data can lag (indexing lag), the source can go down or change limits. Plus accuracy depends on the source and the correctness of our aggregation — an error in the logic gives wrong figures. We handle failures and check the aggregation, but honestly: we do not guarantee absolute instant accuracy when depending on a source.
Do I need my own explorer if Etherscan exists?
Often no, honestly: for basic tasks (view a transaction, balance, contract) ready-made public explorers (Etherscan and analogs) are usually enough — building your own for that is excessive. Your own is justified when you need specific analytics for your protocol, custom metrics, a branded interface or private aggregation that ready-made ones lack. We will honestly assess whether it is your case rather than propose building a dashboard where a ready-made one suffices.
