Built with Node.js, expr This tool is intended to be a simple, stateless, self-hosted explorer for the Bitcoin blockchain, driven by RPC calls to your own bitcoind node. This tool is easy to run but lacks features compared to full-fledged (stateful) explorers. -I built this tool because I wanted to use it myself.

Whatever reasons one might have for running a full node (trustlessness, technical curiosity, etc) it's helpful to appreciate the "fullness" of a node. With this explorer, one can not only explore the blockchain (in the traditional sense of the term "explorer"), but also explore the capabilities of one's own node. # Features * List of recent blocks * Browse blocks by height, in ascending or descending order * View block details -* View transaction details, with navigation backward via spent outputs +* View transaction details, with navigation "backward" via spent transaction outputs * View raw JSON output used to generate most pages -* Mempool/unconfirmed transaction counts by fee (sat/B) +* Search to directly navigate to transactions or blocks +* Mempool summary, showing unconfirmed transaction counts by fee level +* RPC Browser to explore all of the RPC commands available from your node +* RPC Terminal to send arbitrary commands to your node # Getting started
