From RPC URL to live explorer in 5 minutes
Launching a custom block explorer normally means standing up an indexer, a database, and a frontend. With Ethernal you paste your EVM RPC URL and the explorer is live. No indexer to operate, no DevOps team required.
Your brand, your domain, your EVM scan
Full white-label branding means your users see your logo, colors, and custom domain, not a provider's chrome. The result is an Etherscan-style EVM scan for your chain that looks like it was built in-house.
Hosted for you, or self-host it yourself
Choose managed block explorer hosting and Ethernal runs the infrastructure, scaling, and updates. Need data sovereignty? The same explorer is MIT-licensed and self-hostable via Docker, so you can run it on your own infrastructure with one command.
A full EVM explorer, not just a block feed
Decoded transactions, full call traces, verified contracts you can read and write to, token and NFT tracking, and an Etherscan-compatible API so your existing tooling keeps working. Everything users and developers expect from an EVM block explorer.
Frequently asked questions
What is block explorer hosting?
Block explorer hosting is a managed service where a provider runs the indexer, database, and frontend that power a block explorer for your chain. With Ethernal you provide an EVM RPC URL and the hosted explorer is live in minutes, with no infrastructure for you to operate.
How do I launch a custom block explorer for my EVM chain?
Paste your EVM RPC URL and chain ID into Ethernal, set your branding and custom domain, and the explorer indexes your chain and goes live in under five minutes. You can use the hosted version or self-host the MIT-licensed explorer via Docker.
Is there a self-hosted EVM scan alternative to Etherscan?
Yes. Ethernal is an open-source, MIT-licensed EVM block explorer (an EVM scan) that you can self-host on your own infrastructure, or run as a hosted service. It supports transaction decoding, contract verification, and an Etherscan-compatible API.
