  • Developers inspecting Aptos data or working on the explorer application.

Documented uses

  • Review a transaction's payload, events and gas usage.
  • Inspect account balances and resources.
  • Browse blocks and network activity.
  • Explore validator and staking-related information.
  • Review analytics pages backed by project datasets.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The hosted instance is available at https://explorer.aptoslabs.com. Local development requires Node.js and pnpm, with expected versions referenced in the repository.

  • The explorer focuses on Aptos blockchain data.
  • Transaction views expose payloads, events and gas usage, while account views include balances and resources.
  • Analytics pages are backed by datasets in the repository's analytics/ directory.
  • The repository identifies app/ as the primary application code and describes src/ as legacy or compatibility code.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Set up Aptos Explorer for local development

Install the project dependencies and start its local development server.

Before you start

  • Node.js at the version specified in .node-version
  • pnpm at the version pinned in package.json

Steps

  1. Run pnpm install in the project.

  2. Run pnpm dev to start the development server on port 3030, or pnpm start for port 3000.

Expected outcome

The documented local development server starts on the port associated with the chosen command.

Guide limitations

  • The guide covers dependency installation and starting the development server, not deployment.
  • The README refers to version files for the expected Node.js and pnpm versions rather than stating those versions in the setup instructions.
