Clutch Explorer Overview
Clutch Explorer is a block explorer for the Clutch Protocol chain. It indexes blocks and transactions from clutch-node into PostgreSQL and serves a REST API plus React frontend.
Architecture
Unlike the Hub API (GraphQL for app developers), the explorer is read-only infrastructure for browsing chain history.
Screenshots
The home page: the latest figures, a chart of recent chain activity, the reserve behind CLT, and the newest blocks, transactions and validators.
A block, with its producer, its parent and the transactions it carries:
An account in dark mode, with its balance, nonce and every balance change. Dark mode follows the system, and the button in the header overrides it.
These were taken from a local stack, so the network chip reads LOCAL. The deployed explorers show TESTNET or MAINNET PILOT.
Components
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Backend | Rust/Axum REST API + block indexer |
| Frontend | React/TypeScript UI |
| Postgres | Indexed blocks, transactions, accounts |
What it indexes
- Blocks and block headers
- All transaction types including ride lifecycle txs
- Account balances, nonces, activity
- Validator set
- Referrer fee metadata
It also republishes the treasury's latest reconciliation, so anyone can see the reserve behind CLT next to the chain (GET /api/v1/reserve). A deployment with no treasury behind it leaves that section out.
Poll interval defaults to 4000ms (indexer_poll_interval_ms).
When to use
| Tool | Use for |
|---|---|
| Hub API / SDK | Building ride-sharing apps, submitting txs |
| Explorer | Browsing blocks, debugging txs, account history |
