Block Explorer for Redstone
Ethernal is a hosted block explorer for Redstone, the OP Stack L2 built by Lattice for on-chain games and autonomous worlds. Redstone powers applications built with the MUD framework, where entire game states live on-chain. Connect your RPC, configure OP Stack bridge monitoring, and deploy a full-featured explorer in under 5 minutes.
Chain ID 690OP Stack Bridge Monitoring
Redstone runs on the OP Stack with Lattice operating the sequencer. Ethernal monitors the OptimismPortal contract, tracks deposits from Ethereum L1, and follows withdrawals through the 7-day challenge period. Configure it by entering your OptimismPortal and Batch Inbox addresses.
MUD Framework Transaction Decoding
Redstone is the home of MUD, the framework for building on-chain games and autonomous worlds by Lattice. MUD uses a Store contract as the ECS (Entity Component System) database, where every game state change is a Store write. Ethernal decodes these Store operations, showing which tables were modified, what entities changed, and how game state evolved in each transaction.
Explorer Features
How to Set Up a Redstone Block Explorer
Create a workspace
Sign up at app.tryethernal.com and create a new workspace. Select "Public Explorer" as the type.
Connect the Redstone RPC
Paste the Redstone RPC endpoint: https://rpc.redstonechain.com.
Configure OP Stack bridge monitoring
Enter your OptimismPortal and Batch Inbox addresses. Ethernal starts monitoring deposits, withdrawals, and batches automatically.
Go live
Point your custom domain (e.g. explorer.redstone.example) to your Ethernal workspace. Your Redstone explorer is live with MUD transaction decoding and bridge tracking.
Redstone Explorer Options Compared
Developers building on Redstone can choose between the default Blockscout instance, self-hosted Blockscout, or Ethernal (hosted with OP Stack-native features).

What is Redstone?
Redstone is an OP Stack L2 built by Lattice, the creators of the MUD framework. It is designed specifically for on-chain games and autonomous worlds, where entire game states are stored and updated on-chain. Redstone settles on Ethereum and uses the same optimistic rollup security model as Base and Optimism.
What is the MUD framework?
MUD is an open-source framework by Lattice for building on-chain applications, especially games. It uses an Entity Component System (ECS) architecture with an on-chain Store contract as the database. All state is stored in tables on-chain, making every game action transparent and composable.
How do I set up a block explorer for Redstone?
Create a workspace on Ethernal, paste the Redstone RPC endpoint (https://rpc.redstonechain.com), configure the OP Stack bridge with OptimismPortal and Batch Inbox addresses, and point your custom domain. Takes under 5 minutes.
What are autonomous worlds?
Autonomous worlds are fully on-chain applications where all state, logic, and permissions are managed by smart contracts. Unlike traditional games with off-chain servers, autonomous worlds are permissionless, composable, and persistent. Redstone and MUD are purpose-built for this paradigm.
Does Redstone use EIP-4844 blobs?
Yes. As an OP Stack chain, Redstone uses EIP-4844 blobs to post transaction data to Ethereum L1 at lower cost. Ethernal tracks both blob and calldata batches in the batch explorer view.
