Block Explorer

The Norn Explorer is a block explorer web app for browsing the Norn network -- blocks, transactions, accounts, tokens, and smart contracts. Built with Next.js 15, React 19, and the @norn-protocol/sdk.

Live instance: explorer.norn.network

Key Pages

Route	Description
`/`	Dashboard with network stats, recent blocks, and transactions
`/blocks`	Paginated block list
`/block/[height]`	Block detail with metadata and activity counts
`/transactions`	Live transaction feed with pending transactions
`/address/[address]`	Account balances, transaction history, primary NNS name and records
`/tokens`	Token registry with supply information
`/contracts`	Deployed smart contracts

Real-time updates are powered by WebSocket subscriptions -- blocks and transactions stream in as they are produced.

Address pages display the primary NNS name and any attached name records. Block detail pages show name transfers and name record updates alongside other block activity.
