Open-Sourcing AlgoGazer The Algorand Blockchain Explorer

AlgoGazer.app is a full-featured blockchain explorer, account browser and NFT viewer for Algorand. It enables users to explore the latest blocks, accounts, and transaction activity through a mobile-optimized experience that enhances transparency and discovery across the Algorand ecosystem.

AlgoGazer is built around a user-centric approach. Users can browse curated NFT collections, bookmark favorite accounts and assets, and explore detailed blockchain activity. Core features include robust NFD support, bookmarking, one-click ASA opt-ins, curated NFT collections, and rich historical data for accounts, rounds, and transactions. The interface emphasizes clarity, readability, and responsiveness across devices.

Asset pages display comprehensive ASA information, and verified tokens include full price charts powered by Vestige along with integrated swap functionality via Pera Wallet. Users can favorite any item to build a personalized list of accounts, ASAs, NFTs, rounds, and transactions. These asset detail pages also serve project creators by providing an easy way to monitor assets and offer their communities a reliable entry point for opt-ins and on-chain information.

If this proposal is approved, the explorer will be released as a public GitHub repository (AGPLv3). The community will be able to contribute to its ongoing development while also benefiting from a modern, efficient explorer that can easily be deployed on open-source infrastructure.

AlgoGazer has been under continuous development for more than 18 months and represents a significant body of completed engineering work to be delivered as an open-source public good. The requested grant is also retroactive and reflects the time, effort, and resources invested in designing, building, and maintaining the AlgoGazer open-source explorer codebase. To date, the project has received no external funding. Grant funds will also be used for the improvement of the AlgoGazer platform with much needed server upgrades and development work ensuring the AlgoGazer remains a reliable and evolving public resource for the Algorand ecosystem.

• Algorand blockchain explorer written in PHP/HTML/Javascript with backend caching
  • Display accounts, assets, transactions, rounds, nft's, NFD's, and applications
