Introduction

Welcome to Blobscan

Blobscan is a blockchain explorer for EIP-4844 blobs. This standard provides a new type of transaction that will help scaling Ethereum.

The architecture of Blobscan has the following components:

  • An indexer that communicates with consensus and execution layer clients, fetches blob information and stores it in a PostgreSQL database
  • A frontend that allows navigating the data, having specific pages for blocks, transactions, addresses, and blobs.
  • An API that the indexer can talk to and contains shared logic with the frontend.
  • A blob storage manager with support for different storage providers to keep blob data available.
  • A Redis-based BullMQ queue for processing jobs in the background, such as:
    • Updating data of the charts
    • Uploading blobs in parallel to multiple storage services
  • CLI tools for managing background jobs
