Services and Infrastructure
The Namada mainnet and testnet are supplemented by a variety of services and infrastructure that improve the UX of interacting with the blockchain. These include:
- RPC: a node used to query the blockchain directly.
- Namada Indexer: a filtered database off-chain that stores information in useful forms for common queries.
- MASP Indexer: a database off-chain for shielded pool transactions that allows for optimized syncing that is needed to query or transact in the shieled pool.
- Namadillo: a front-end user interface for transacting on-chain
- Block Explorer: a web interface for discovering information about the current state of the blockchain
Accessing services
Many teams contribute to the support and maintenance of these services, including Heliax, which operates production-grade instances of each of these services. The Heliax public endpoints for infra are:
- Namadillo
- Mainnet: https://namadillo.app (opens in a new tab)
- Testnet: https://testnet.namadillo.app (opens in a new tab)
- Docs here
- Block Explorer
- RPC
- Namada Indexer
- MASP Indexer
Furthermore, there are several places to discover other community-run infra and services. The current primary base is on namada.community (opens in a new tab), which pulls its data from the namada-ecosystem github repo (opens in a new tab). This is an actively maintained resource for finding active IBC relayers, RPC providers, Namadillo front-end instances, active indexers, state snapshot providers and more.
Other block explorers and Namadillo instances can also be found on https://namada.net/apps (opens in a new tab) as well.
