GEX is a real time in-terminal explorer for Cosmos SDK blockchains. See the Check out your Cosmos SDK blockchain in a terminal-based block explorer blog post to learn more about GEX.
The GEX explorer displays blocks, transactions, validator, network status, and more information. Use the GEX block explorer to see the status of peers, connection, version, and other useful information to have a quick peek into your own node. GEX works with Starport.
The GEX installation requires Go. If you don't already have Go installed, see https://golang.org/dl. Download the binary release that is suitable for your system and follow the installation instructions.
To install the GEX binary:
go install github.com/cosmos/gex@latest
To launch a GEX explorer in your terminal window, type:
gex
and hit enter.
Configure an optional port, instead of using the default RPC port 26657
gex -p 27657
To manually run GEX, clone the github.com/cosmos/gex repository and then cd into the gex directory. Then to run GEX manually, type this command in a terminal window:
go run main.go
