Can Block Explorers Work Like Traditional Search Engines?

Transparency is one of the key features of blockchain, and block explorers play an important role in that transparency. However, navigating explorers on Solana can have a high learning curve, even for crypto natives. This is due to Solana’s abstract data structures, a feature that makes indexing and interpreting data on the blockchain difficult. In this episode, Fathur Rahman (SolanaFM) discusses ways of building block explorers on Solana that will improve user experience. Through clever engineering, Fathur thinks it's possible for Solana block explorers to one day feel as intuitive as traditional search engines. We also discuss explorer revenue models, the role of explorers in smart contract security, and more.
