+
+# 🔎 OP Scan
+
+OP Scan is a transaction explorer tailored specifically for the [OP Stack](https://docs.optimism.io/builders/chain-operators/tutorials/create-l2-rollup) and the [Superchain vision](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6vYNgrQ1LE). It's focused on being lightweight so that anyone can run it locally next to an OP Stack devnet or any other compatible OP Stack based rollup.
+
+<Callout>
+  Check out the [OP Scan README](https://github.com/walnuthq/op-scan) for
+  up-to-date information on how to launch OP Scan.

+# ⚙️ Installation
+
+### Getting Started Video
+
+[Here's a video walkthrough](https://www.loom.com/share/3b79f0b25e44443eb16d296aba021764) on how to launch the explorer locally configured for OP Sepolia testnet.
+
+### Required Dependencies
+
+The app requires the following dependencies:
+
+```
+Node.js >= 20
+pnpm >= 9
+```
+
+### Explorer Configuration
+
+Clone this repository:
+
+```sh
+git clone [email protected]:walnuthq/op-scan
+```
+
+Install the dependencies:
+
+```sh
+pnpm install
+```
+
+Copy `.env.local.example` into `.env.local` at the root of your repository and populate it with your own values.
+In particular, configure both L1 and L2 chains:
+
+```
+NEXT_PUBLIC_L1_CHAIN_ID="11155111"
+NEXT_PUBLIC_L1_NAME="Sepolia"
+NEXT_PUBLIC_L1_RPC_URL="https://ethereum-sepolia-rpc.publicnode.com"
+NEXT_PUBLIC_L2_CHAIN_ID="11155420"
+NEXT_PUBLIC_L2_NAME="OP Sepolia"
+NEXT_PUBLIC_L2_RPC_URL="https://optimism-sepolia-rpc.publicnode.com"
+```
+
+You can get free node rpcs url by signing up to services such as [Alchemy](https://www.alchemy.com/), [Infura](https://www.infura.io/) or [QuickNode](https://www.quicknode.com/).
+
+For devnet usage, specify the L1 contract addresses:
+
+```
+NEXT_PUBLIC_OPTIMISM_PORTAL_ADDRESS="..."
+NEXT_PUBLIC_L1_CROSS_DOMAIN_MESSENGER_ADDRESS="..."
+```
+
+You will find theses addresses in your rollup deployment artifacts in `contracts-bedrock/deployments/your-deployment/L1Contract.json`.
+Note that you always need to provide the proxy address, not the underlying contract.
+
+If you don't want to run the explorer with your local chain setup, you will find all the necessary environment variables in `.env.local.example` to configure the explorer with OP Sepolia or OP Mainnet.
+
+If you want to be able to use the Write Contract feature on verified contracts, you will also need to provide a [Reown](https://docs.reown.com/) project ID.
+
+```
+NEXT_PUBLIC_REOWN_PROJECT_ID="REOWN_PROJECT_ID"
+```
+
+### Indexer Configuration
+
+To run the indexer, first set up your `DATABASE_URL` in `.env.local` (we use SQLite by default, but you can switch to PostgreSQL by changing the Prisma provider in `prisma/schema.prisma`) and configure websocket connections to your L1/L2 chains:
+
+```
+DATABASE_URL="file:dev.db"
+L1_RPC_WS="wss://ethereum-sepolia-rpc.publicnode.com"
+L2_RPC_WS="wss://optimism-sepolia-rpc.publicnode.com"
+```
+
+Then you can sync your local database with the Prisma schema:
+
+```sh
+pnpm prisma:db:push
+```
+
+Now you will be able to start indexing the blockchain by running the `op-indexer` command:
+
+```sh
+pnpm op-indexer
+```
+
+You should start seeing blocks getting indexed in your terminal and you can explore the state of your local database using Prisma studio:
+
+```sh
+pnpm prisma:studio
+```
+
+If you need to change the Prisma schema at some point, make sure to regenerate the Prisma client and push to your local database:
+
+```sh
+pnpm prisma:generate
+pnpm prisma:db:push
+```
+
+Indexing a blockchain is putting a heavy load on the RPC as you need to perform a large number of JSON-RPC requests to fully index a block (along with transactions and logs).
+When indexing non-local chains you will probably encounter 429 errors related to rate-limiting, you may provide up to 5 fallback RPC URLs in case this happens:
+
+```
+NEXT_PUBLIC_L1_FALLBACK1_RPC_URL="https://rpc.ankr.com/eth_sepolia"
+NEXT_PUBLIC_L2_FALLBACK1_RPC_URL="https://rpc.ankr.com/optimism_sepolia"
+NEXT_PUBLIC_L1_FALLBACK2_RPC_URL="https://endpoints.omniatech.io/v1/eth/sepolia/public"
+NEXT_PUBLIC_L2_FALLBACK2_RPC_URL="https://endpoints.omniatech.io/v1/op/sepolia/public"
+NEXT_PUBLIC_L1_FALLBACK3_RPC_URL="https://sepolia.drpc.org"
+NEXT_PUBLIC_L2_FALLBACK3_RPC_URL="https://optimism-sepolia.drpc.org"
+NEXT_PUBLIC_L1_FALLBACK4_RPC_URL="https://eth-sepolia.g.alchemy.com/v2/FALLBACK4_API_KEY"
+NEXT_PUBLIC_L2_FALLBACK4_RPC_URL="https://opt-sepolia.g.alchemy.com/v2/FALLBACK4_API_KEY"
+NEXT_PUBLIC_L1_FALLBACK5_RPC_URL="https://sepolia.infura.io/v3/FALLBACK5_API_KEY"
+NEXT_PUBLIC_L2_FALLBACK5_RPC_URL="https://optimism-sepolia.infura.io/v3/FALLBACK5_API_KEY"
+```
+
+You can pass several parameters to the indexer to control the indexing range and execution:
+
+- `--l2-from-block` (short `-f`, defaults to latest block) start indexing from this L2 block.
+- `--l2-index-block` (short `-b`) index this particular L2 block number.
+- `--l1-from-block` (defaults to latest block) start indexing from this L1 block.
+- `--l1-index-block` index this particular L1 block number.
+- `--index-delay` (short `-d`, defaults to 1000) delay in ms between indexing 2 blocks to avoid overloading the RPC.
+
+Example of running the indexer:
+
+```sh
+pnpm op-indexer -f 123416717 --l1-index-block 20426733 --l1-index-block 20426726 -d 500
+```
+
+### Running the Explorer
+
+When you're done configuring your environment variables you can build the app:
+
+```sh
+pnpm build
+```
+
+Make sure your local chain is started and the indexer is running, then launch the explorer to see it live at `http://localhost:3000`
+
+```sh
+pnpm start
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can launch the explorer in dev mode if you want to customize it:
+
+```sh
+pnpm dev
+```
