Block Explorer for Mint
Ethernal is a hosted block explorer for Mint, the NFT-focused OP Stack L2 designed for low-cost minting and green NFT infrastructure. Mint provides a dedicated chain optimized for NFT creators, collectors, and marketplaces. Connect your RPC, configure OP Stack bridge monitoring, and deploy a branded explorer in under 5 minutes.
OP Stack Bridge Monitoring
Mint runs on the OP Stack, providing low-cost NFT operations with Ethereum security. Ethernal monitors the OptimismPortal contract, tracks deposits from Ethereum L1, and follows withdrawals through the challenge period. Configure it with your OptimismPortal and Batch Inbox addresses.
NFT Minting and Collection Tracking
Mint is purpose-built for NFT operations. Ethernal indexes every ERC-721 and ERC-1155 mint, transfer, and burn on the chain. Track collection launches, monitor minting activity, see holder distributions, and verify that collection contracts behave as expected. For NFT marketplaces on Mint, this means complete visibility into listing, buying, and auction activity.
