TraceHawk is excited to offer a custom-fitted, dedicated block explorer for Tezos Smart Rollups. Web3 enterprises, startups, or individual projects building their Layer2 smart rollups can now use TraceHawk as their personalized block explorer. This will allow L2s to offer a custom blockchain explorer experience to users on the network. With this addition, TraceHawk has successfully added block explorer support for all the leading rollup stacks, including OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, Polygon CDK, and ZK Stack. Let’s discuss how TraceHawk serves as the ultimate block explorer for Tezos Smart Rollups. 

A bit about Tezos Smart Rollups and TraceHawk’s offerings

Tezos Smart Rollups are custom, permissionless Layer2 scaling solution built for Tezos blockchain. By introducing smart rollups, Tezos allow applications to increase their transaction throughput with off-chain transaction computation while also ensuring Layer1-based cutting-edge security  and decentralization. Etherlink- the popular Tezos Smart Rollups has added support for TraceHawk into their ecosystem.  Here’s a glimpse of TraceHawk’s offerings for Tezos Layer2s:

  1. In-depth search- TraceHawk allows Smart rollups Layer2s to perform in-depth exploration into the network, fetching necessary information about blocks, transactions, accounts, wallet activities, token balances, etc.
  1. Instant contract verification- Users now have the ease to verify their smart contracts from the explorer itself, through a simplified process. This eliminates the need to switch between platforms or use a complex process.
  2. Seamless API calls- TraceHawk offers robust APIs that allow for calls through both the standardized and custom API methods, for example, standard JSON, Vyper, Flattened source, etc.
  3. Personalized on-chain data viewing- TraceHawk works with the motto- “your chain, your explorer,” and hence, it allows Tezos Smart Rollups to customize their explorer, such as UI and features, to offer a personalized on-chain experience to the users.
  1. Wallet-compatibility- TraceHawk supports all the wallets supported on Tezos blockchain as well as Ethereum-compatible wallets like Metamask. 

What makes TraceHawk Block Explorer a top-choice for Tezos Smart Rollups?

  • Open-source access:  TraceHawk was created to offer users open-source block explorer access. It works by offering a ‘Demo’ option that anyone can leverage for a brief run-through of TraceHawk’s Tezos Smart Rollups explorer. From connecting the wallet to viewing on-chain data and connecting to RPC endpoints, each critical operation is possible with the demo option.
  • Extensive on-chain analytics: Using TraceHawk, Tezos Smart rollup chains can offer a comprehensive on-chain view to their users, including the following:

> Layer1-Layer2 details: Deposit/withdrawals- Simply with a click, TraceHawk offers you a list of all the deposits happening between Layer1 Tezos to Layer2 rollups. Likewise, you can keep a track of withdrawals that are originally initiated on L2, but executed finally on the underlying L1.

> Custom transaction batches- TraceHawk’s  Tezos Smart Rollups explorer supports the unique ‘Transaction Batches’ feature that users can leverage to get a custom, batched data about the transactions and further information such as L2 block transactions, Layer1 transaction hash, or transaction timestamp.

> Blocks- This option allows Tezos Smart Rollups users to fetch a detailed list of blocks from any rollup L2 and filter the information on essential parameters like ‘Forked’ or ‘Uncle’ blocks.

> Accounts- Provides a list of top-accounts based on performance parameters like token held, account balance, total transactions, etc.

> Verified contracts- Allows to extract all the verified contracts and their respective information like total ETH balance, contract version, address, and verification time.

  • Ease of integration & customization: 

As discussed, TraceHawk is designed to be a personalized block explorer. Speaking about Tezos Smart Rollups, Layer2 projects can integrate custom, use case-specific features to TraceHawk like extensive search option, adding advanced watchlist, expanding support for preferred tokens, and a lot more.

  • Multi-chain access:

Designed as a new-age block explorer, TraceHawk has added multi-chain support. This allows Layer2 users to explore the information from a range of chains, be it Tezos-based chains like Octez or the best ever smart rollup on Tezos –  The Etherlink. Also, TraceHawk can be optimized to offer multichain data access to users. For example, they add an address and get details about all its activities happening on multiple chains.

  • APIs and developer tools: 

Two widely used APIs; Rest and GraphQL APIs are already available on TraceHawk. These APIs are simple to use and optimized for performance & high-availability. Hence, developers of all stages can access them to gather data. Plus, Tezos Smart Rollups L2s have the freedom to customize this API feature to add more APIs, enable additional customization, or expand the API limits, based on their chain’s requirements.

  • Token tracker: 

With the ‘Token’ feature, Tezos smart rollup can simplify the search experience for users. As a standard setup, TraceHawk has added support for ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and ERC-404 tokens. But, if we talk about Tezos rollups, your explore can support Tezos’ native token- Tez (XTZ), ERC tokens, plus tokens from all the smart rollups L2s. All you need is a strategic plan for customization according your Tezos smart rollup L2’s specific offerings.

  • Gas tracker: 

With the gas usage tracker, TraceHawk allows any Tezos Smart rollup chains to track the exact consumption by their address. On the explorer’s dashboard, you can check complete gas information such as real-time usage or consumption across different network scenarios like slow, average, or fast network speed.

  • 24/7 analytics dashboard:

TraceHawk offers a 24/7 analytics dashboard for a comprehensive view of Tezos Smart Rollups. It’s basically a real-time dashboard that breaks down complex information into insightful data using charts, tables, and graphs. The dashboard shows all kinds of details like on-chain blocks, events, gas usage, memory, CPU consumption, block time, and more.

  • Contract verification: 

Verifying any smart contracts is hassle-free on TraceHawk. For this, TraceHawk offers a low-code, 1-click contract verification tool that quickly verifies and publishes smart contracts from the explorer. This allows Tezos smart rollup developers to easily verify any smart contracts and their codebase before using them for their project.

  • EaaS (Explorer-as-a-service):

Explorer-as-a-service is one of TraceHawk’s key offerings, which removes the complex aspect of hosting or managing a full-fledged block explorer. Rather than setting up the infrastructure or worrying about explorer management, Tezos Smart Rollup can now use TraceHawk’s EaaS to benefit from a fully-managed and fully-hosted explorer service. 

  • RaaS-compatibility:

TraceHawk and its Explorer-as-a-service is fully compatible with rollups-as-a-sevice (RaaS) stack. Integrated with rollup-specific features, modularity, and branding options, TraceHawk is an ideal block explorer for RaaS providers. This means that RaaS platforms having support for Tezos Smart Rollups can use TraceHawk as their default, pluggable block explorer into their stack.
