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, registered names
`/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.
