BlockScope provides a streamlined way for users to monitor, explore, and interact with blockchain data, offering a suite of functionalities that address several common blockchain needs:
What it Solves
With ChainView (or BlockLens), users gain direct access to up-to-the-minute blockchain information, allowing for:
Real-time Monitoring of Blockchain Activity
The app fetches the latest blocks and transactions using QuickNode streams and functions. Users can instantly track changes in the blockchain, which is crucial for those who need to stay on top of recent activities or validate recent transactions.
Efficient Transaction and Block Search
By integrating QuickNode’s RPC provider, the app enables users to search for specific transactions and blocks, making it easier to pinpoint specific data without combing through entire block histories manually.
Personal NFT Management
The app shows NFTs within the user’s wallet, creating a quick, straightforward way for users to view and manage their NFT holdings. This feature saves time and keeps users informed about their assets without the need for additional tools.
How it Makes Tasks Easier and Safer
Increased Efficiency
The combination of live block updates and powerful search functionality means users can perform routine blockchain tasks faster, allowing them to focus on insights rather than data retrieval.
Enhanced Security & Transparency
The ability to verify blocks and transactions on demand allows users to confirm transactions securely, increasing confidence and reducing the risk of scams or misinformation.
NFT Portfolio at a Glance
With integrated NFT viewing, users don’t need to rely on separate wallets or platforms for NFT tracking, reducing the risk of security breaches or management errors.
This Dapp centralizes blockchain monitoring, transaction search, and NFT management, enhancing ease of use, security, and efficiency for any blockchain user.
One key challenge was managing real-time data synchronization with QuickNode streams for block updates. We found that streams occasionally lagged, impacting data accuracy in our interface. To address this, we implemented a fallback polling mechanism to periodically fetch the latest data, ensuring consistency and smooth updates.
Another hurdle was optimizing the RPC calls for searching specific transactions and blocks. High traffic could slow response times, so we introduced caching for recent searches. This significantly improved load times and made the app more responsive.
