[ANN] The XRPSCAN Project is now available for beta testing

[xrpscan]

Summary

The XRPSCAN Project is now available for beta testing. XRPSCAN is an explorer for the Ripple ledger that aims to provide you with an easy to use account and transaction explorer.

URL: https://xrpscan.com

If you've transacted in other leading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, you may have undoubtedly used their Blockchain explorers to look up the status of your transactions and check your account balance. You may also have felt the need for a Ledger explorer for Ripple that provides similar levels of ease of use and granularity of information. The XRPSCAN project aims to bridge that gap and provide you with a clean and simple way to look up your accounts and transactions.

While on the homepage, you can track the ledger close events in real time and watch the diminishing XRP supply.

Ledgers

The ledger page tells you about all the transactions that were included in the given ledger. We support all transaction types that are supported by the XRP Ledger.

 

Accounts

Accounts page tells you at a glance about the current state and balance available. It also contains detailed information about Payments made, Currency balances, Orders, Trustlines, Account settings, Activated accounts and the Transactions this account was involved in. XRP is treated like every other currency issued by the counterparties and is displayed seamlessly without treating it as a special snowflake.

Validators

The validator registry lists all validator nodes and displays their verified domain names, UNL status, ledger chain and agreement rates.

Search

Ledger objects like Accounts, Ledgers, Transaction hashes and Validators are searchable from the search box at the top. The objects are directly addressable from the URL too, so you may simply use the address bar to look up:

• Ledger - https://xrpscan.com/ledger/[ledger-number]
• Account - https://xrpscan.com/account/[account]
• Transaction - https://xrpscan.com/tx/[tx-hash]
• Validator - https://xrpscan.com/validator/[node-public-key]

Closing notes

We hope you find this project useful and use it in your daily interaction with XRP. There are several items that we're working on to make XRPSCAN more useful and accessible for you. We'll continuously roll out these changes as and when they are complete.

We run a verified Ripple validator, are committed to the success of XRP and absolutely ❤ the #xrpcommunity. We hope you give us a try and spread the word.

XRPSCAN is in beta testing. Should you find a bug, please report it here: https://github.com/xrpscan/xrpscan.com/issues

A xrp ledger volume, graphically represented, would be a great addition, we really need to have a visualised representation of XRP ledger volume over time.

It would be cool to see "XRP Destroyed" charted over time, I think that would be a pretty solid KPI for volume of network Utility is growing or not. I'm only seeing a few transactions per ledger close, so if "1500 per second" is accurate, and ledgers close in 4 seconds that is a max of 6000 transactions per ledger. Until transaction volumes start pushing that, the apparent utility value is pretty low, way less than $1 per ledger close, even less than $0.01 per ledger close. 

Also things like, how much value is in Payment Channels, and the cumulative number of Payment Channels over time. So, for this chunk of time there was 5, for this next chunk of time there was 9... This should be some proxy for xRapid, especially if you could identify the wallet owner as an xCurrent Exchange, or even a bank. Maybe PayChan Receipt transaction volumes also could be interesting.

Great work. Out of interest, is a project like this just a hobby project or are you monetizing this somehow? I think this kind of stuff is great but I'm just wondering at people's motivations.

I believe this can go well with the Transaction statistics widget at the bottom. The widget can link to an advanced view on a separate page and show ledger transaction volume on a time series chart. Thank you, this is a great tip!

I should be able to select these data points, including Destroyed XRP and Payment Channel activity, and draw them on the time series charts. Thanks for the feedback, these are great suggestions.

With the huge uptake Coil has seen in the recent months, our plan is to monetize it via Coil after the service stabilizes. At the moment there's no monetization because we want to finish the full version roadmap and improve the stability of the service (A large portion of making this service stable involves moving away from Ripple Data APIs, which is a huge bottleneck, and leveraging the services provided by our rippled instance).

A big thank you to everyone for sharing your feedback. We really appreciate it.
