Announcing the Redstone Block Explorer: Your Gateway to Onchain Worlds

We’re excited to unveil the Redstone Block Explorer and Redstone MUD Worlds View: sophisticated tools built to enhance your interaction with Redstone, the specialized Layer 2 blockchain designed for autonomous worlds, and onchain games.

What is Redstone?

Redstone is a purpose-built blockchain, engineered from the ground up to support the development of onchain worlds and games. Created by Lattice in collaboration with Optimism, Redstone leverages a Plasma-inspired data availability architecture within the OP Stack.

The chain offers a range of key features designed for complex onchain applications. It delivers smooth and seamless performance with low-latency edge RPCs and 2-second block times, while its fully open-source, and battle-tested stack ensures robust security that developers and users can trust.

With super low transaction fees derived from its Alt-DA model, Redstone makes it affordable for everyone to engage with the blockchain. Additionally, it includes a built-in automatic MUD indexer, available at no extra cost, to streamline the development process.

Whether you're building social apps, immersive gaming worlds, or intricate decentralized platforms, Redstone offers the high-performance environment needed to bring your projects to life.

Dive into the Redstone Block Explorer

The Redstone Block Explorer is your gateway to navigating and understanding the intricate details of the Redstone blockchain. Tailored specifically for Redstone’s unique architecture, the explorer offers several core features:

• Real-Time Monitoring: Stay updated with the latest blocks, transactions, and contract interactions as they happen. The Redstone Block Explorer provides real-time data, enabling developers and users to track the state of the chain with precision.
• Detailed Analytics: Dive deep into the analytics of Redstone’s onchain worlds. From transaction costs to block times and gas usage, the explorer offers detailed insights that help developers optimize their applications and users better understand the network's performance.
• Smart Contract Verification: Ensure transparency and trust with the ability to verify deployed contracts directly through the explorer. This feature enhances security and trustworthiness for developers and users alike.
• API Integration: The explorer includes an easy-to-use API, allowing developers to seamlessly integrate blockchain data into their applications.
• User-Friendly Interface: Whether you’re a seasoned developer or a newcomer, the explorer’s intuitive interface makes it easy to navigate and find the information you need.

Custom MUD Views: Enhancing Onchain Exploration

One of the standout features of the Redstone Block Explorer is the customized view of MUD Worlds on Redstone Mainnet and Garnet, Redstone’s testnet. These views are a unique addition, specifically tailored to enhance the exploration and management of MUD-based onchain worlds.

MUD enables developers to build onchain applications using a familiar data model with tables and fields, on top of a standardized storage protocol. This allows MUD to provide developers an automatic indexer out of the box.

Building on this, MUD views on Blockscout allow anyone to peer into custom MUD events emitted onchain, specific to individual MUD worlds. In games, this allows anyone to see how many times a particular action was performed or how many times a specific interaction occurred, in clear detail.

“We’re excited to see how the Redstone Block Explorer, with its custom MUD views and integration with DappScout, will support our community of developers, plugin-builders, and autonomous world enthusiasts. Blockscout’s commitment to open-source technology aligns perfectly with our mission of building software that pushes the boundaries of what is possible to achieve onchain,” said Alvarius, CTO at Lattice, the team building Redstone.

Enhanced with DappScout for Safe App Discovery

The Redstone Block Explorer comes fully integrated with DappScout, a powerful tool designed for safe dApp discovery within the Redstone ecosystem

• Dedicated Games Category: Explore a wide range of blockchain games within the dedicated Games category. This section of DappScout is tailored to highlight the most engaging and innovative gaming experiences on Redstone, making it easier for users to find and enjoy onchain games.
• User Ratings & Reviews: Leverage the insights of the community with user ratings and reviews. See what others think about a dApp before you interact, ensuring you choose applications that meet your needs and expectations.
• Security Scores: Each dApp is evaluated on their smart contracts and given a security score, allowing you to make informed decisions based on the safety and reliability of the applications.

“The potential for onchain games and worlds on Redstone is immense. We’re looking forward to seeing how developers leverage the block explorer to build the next generation of decentralized applications,” said Mojmir Racak, Head of Business Development at Blockscout.

Join the Onchain Worlds of Redstone

Redstone is quickly becoming the home for a growing community of studios, developers, and artists who are pushing the boundaries of what's possible onchain. The Redstone Block Explorer is a significant step forward in making this ecosystem more accessible, transparent, and efficient.
