The key features of the Onion EquilibriaCC Blockchain Explorer are:
- no cookies, no web analytics trackers, no images
- open sourced
- made fully in C++
- showing encrypted payment ID
- showing ring signatures
- showing transaction extra field
- showing public components of EquilibriaCC addresses
- decoding which outputs and mixins belong to the given EquilibriaCC address and viewkey
- detailed information about ring members, such as their age, timescale, and their ring sizes
- showing the number of amount output indices
- support EquilibriaCC testnet and stagnet networks
- can provide the total amount of all miner fees
- check oracle nodes and their status
If you have already compiled EquilibriaCC CLI binaries then move onto the explorer portion of the build. If you have built binaries in a folder other than the home folder you will need to edit the CMakeLists.txt file in the main explorer download folder to reflect your build folder. Example:
if (NOT MONERO_DIR)
set(MONERO_DIR ~/xeqv19.1) <-------change this to your folder location of Equilibria, usually change from ~/xeqv19.1 to /Equilibria
endif()
Download and compile recent EquilibriaCC into your home folder:
# First, install EquilibriaCC dependencies
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git build-essential cmake libboost-all-dev miniupnpc libunbound-dev graphviz doxygen libunwind8-dev pkg-config libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libgtest-dev libreadline-dev libzmq3-dev libsodium-dev libpcsclite-dev
# Go to the home folder
cd ~
git clone --recursive https://github.com/EquilibriaCC/equilibria
cd equilibria
git submodule init && git submodule update
makeOnce the EquilibriaCC is compiled, the explorer can be downloaded and compiled as follows:
# Go to the home folder if still in ~/Equilibria
cd ~
# download the explorer source code
git clone https://github.com/EquilibriaCC/Explorer
# enter the downloaded sourced code folder
cd Explorer
# make a build folder and enter it
mkdir build && cd build
# create the makefile
cmake ..
makeTo run the Explorer do the following:
Start your daemon and let it fully sync then while in the /Explorer/build/ folder run:
./e_exp -d http://127.0.0.1:9231 --enable-emission-monitor --enable-json-api --enable-pusher --enable-as-hex --enable-autorefresh-option

Example usage, defined as bash aliases.
# for mainnet explorer
alias xeqblocksmainnet='~/explorer/build/e_exp --port 8081 --mainnet-url "http://192.168.1.111:8081" --enable-pusher --enable-emission-monitor'
# for testnet explorer
alias xeqblockstestnet='~/explorer/build/e_exp -t --port 8082 --testnet-url "http://192.168.1.111:8084" --enable-pusher --enable-emission-monitor'These are aliases similar to those used for http://192.168.1.111:8081/ and http://192.168.1.111:8084/, respectively.
Obtaining the current EquilibriaCC emission amount is not straight forward. Thus, by default it is
disabled. To enable it use --enable-emission-monitor flag, e.g.,
./e_exp --enable-emission-monitorThis flag will enable the emission monitoring thread. When started, the thread will initially scan the entire blockchain, and calculate the cumulative emission based on each block.
Since it is a separate thread, the explorer will work as usual during this time.
Every 10000 blocks, the thread will save the current emission in a file, by default,
in ~/.equilibria/lmdb/emission_amount.txt. For testnet or stagenet networks,
it is ~/.equilibria/testnet/lmdb/emission_amount.txt or ~/.equilibria/stagenet/lmdb/emission_amount.txt.
This file is used so that we don't need to rescan entire blockchain whenever the explorer is restarted.
When the explorer restarts, the thread will first check if ~/.equilibria/lmdb/emission_amount.txt is present, read its values, and continue from there if possible.
Subsequently, only the initial use of the tread is very time-consuming, especially on lower end hardware. Once the thread scans the entire blockchain, it updates the emission amount using new blocks as they come.
Since the explorer writes this file, there can be only one instance of it running for mainnet, testnet and stagenet.
Thus, for example, you can't have two explorers for mainnet running at the same time, as they will be trying to write and read the same file at the same time, leading to unexpected results.
Of course, having one instance for mainnet and one instance for testnet is fine, as they write to different files.
When the emission monitor is enabled, information about the current emission of coinbase and fees is displayed on the front page, e.g., :
Equilibria emission (fees) is 14485540.430 (52545.373) as of 1103448 block
The values given can be checked using EquilibriaCC daemon's print_coinbase_tx_sum command.
For example, for the above example: print_coinbase_tx_sum 0 1313449.
To disable the monitor, simply restart the explorer without --enable-emission-monitor flag.
By default, the explorer does not use ssl. But it has such a functionality.
As an example, you can generate your own ssl certificates as follows:
cd /tmp # example folder
openssl genrsa -out server.key 1024
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crtHaving the crt and key files, run ./e_exp in the following way:
./e_exp --ssl-crt-file=/tmp/server.crt --ssl-key-file=/tmp/server.keyNote: Because we generated our own certificate, modern browsers will complain about it as they can't verify the signatures against any third party. So probably for any practical use need to have properly issued ssl certificates.
The explorer has JSON api. For the API, it uses conventions defined by JSend.
By default the api is disabled. To enable it, use --enable-json-api flag, e.g.,
./e_exp --enable-json-api

}api number is store as uint32_t. In this case 65536 represents major version 1 and minor version 0.
In JavaScript to get these numbers, one can do as follows:
var api_major = response.data.api >> 16;
var api_minor = response.data.api & 0xffff;Return raw json block data, as represented in Monero.
