Ethereum Name Service (ENS) Explorer

This application visualizes recent ENS transactions with a focus on BidRevealed event logs.

Usage

Browse to http://localhost:8080

ENS events will begin to stream into the app.

The app will perform some calculations as new data comes in. This process depends on the number of events emitted by the ENS contract within the past day.

Currently, the app will display:

A summary of ENS contract events
Metrics related to BidRevealed events:
- Top 5 NameHashes by bid value
- Top 5 bidding accounts
Individual BidRevealed events are also displayed.

Notes

The app uses Infura websockets to connect to the Ethereum mainnet, and receive ENS contract events. This was done so that using the app would not require to setup a local geth/parity node, and events can be streamed into the app immediately.

The drawback of this approach however, is that Infura websockets seem to not provide event logs that are older than 2 days. The performance is optimal when events within the past 1 day of blocks are requested.

Todo

Unit Test for Vue component
Read Web3 parameters from config
Implement more ENS Event metrics
