Ethereum Block Explorer

A simple Ethereum block explorer built for Alchemy's Ethereum Developer Bootcamp course using the Alchemy SDK.

Getting Started

Create an empty .env file in the base directory of this project.

Add the following line to the .env file replacing YOUR_ALCHEMY_API_KEY with your API key.

REACT_APP_ALCHEMY_API_KEY=YOUR_ALCHEMY_API_KEY

NOTE: Your Alchemy API Mainnet Key is a sensitive piece of data. If/when productionising this app, we would want to manage this secret properly and keep it out of the client code of our app where it could potentially be read by anyone.

Install the project dependencies using

yarn install

Start the Webserver

yarn start

Running the command above will run the app in the development mode. Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in your browser.
