Cosmostation introduces a new Interchain Dashboard and Analytics on mintscan.io

Background

Mintscan is a product developed & improved by the Cosmostation team and it is one of the beloved block explorers in the Cosmos ecosystem. As the Cosmos Ecosystem grows, number of IBC connection is growing at a rapid speed.

As one of the beloved Cosmos ecosystem block explorer, we thought that it would be necessary to display IBC connections and transactions in a more visual appealing way. So, after series of multiple testing and internal discussion, Cosmostation is thrilled to introduce you a new interchain dashboard that would amaze the community.

Cosmostation is a leading PoS validator that operates more than 40+ PoS networks. We also provide non-custodial mobile/web/extension wallets and mintscan block explorer to contribute to the ecosystem. Please visit hub.mintscan.io to see which chains Cosmostation validator is currently participating as a validator.

What is mintscan?

Mintscan is a user-friendly block explorer specifically built for PoS blockchain networks, including a number of sovereign blockchains designed with Tendermint consensus engine such as Cosmos Network, Osmosis Labs, Junø, Persistence. You can find almost all the data you need in the cosmos ecosystem including on-chain transactions, list of validators, proposals and block information, etc.

What is IBC ?

IBC is an abbreviation of Inter-Blockchain Communication(BC) and this allows different sovereign blockchains to communicate to each other. It is designed as a form of a module and helps to transport coins across different sovereign blockchains.

If you want to know more in-depth about what IBC is, please click the link below

hub.mintscan.io

This is the new page that everyone is going to be in when you come to mintscan.io. It displays how much IBC transactions that are going in and out of the chains ordered by the number of transactions.

When a chain is selected, it will display information like Total send/receive transaction, connections, and transaction history that has been processed within the chain.

In order to view all the IBC connection from the specific chain to the other chain, click ‘Show all Sends’. Then it will display all the chains that has outbound connections from the chain you clicked. Since the list is sorted by the number of transactions processed within a month, users can know which chain has the most active transaction from the chain.

If we go one step further by clicking any chain connection, then it will display Relayer connection status. It displays send/receive connections with the specific relayer and its transaction and volume history. By looking at this data, you can see the stability of the relayer channel.

And all the detailed information about the inbound IBC Connection to the specific chain is available. Click on ‘Show All Receives’ to view all the inbound IBC connection, relayer status and Transaction & Volume History.

Ecosystem

Chains

If you click on ‘Ecosystem’ tab on top left of the hub.mintscan.io, it will lead users to the ecosystem page. This page helps users to view chain and validator properties including voting power and ratio of total staked amount.

On the top right side, you can choose options between ‘Chains’ and ‘Validators’. When you click chains, you can see all the chains and its staked amount.

When a chain is clicked, then it will display important chain specific properties such as price, inflation, unbonding time. Also, it will display rank of validators by the voting power.

And if you click the validator on the rank, it will display validator properties like list of chains that the selected validator is participating as a validator.

Validators

If you select validators on the tab, it will display the validator rank based on the staked amount. This shows all the aggregated staked amount on all the cosmos-based chains.
