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
