Public infra and services

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:

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.
