Grincoin.org (GRIN) Blockchain Explorer

Blockchain explorer for Grin cryptocurrency.

What is Grin?

Grin is the very first, simple and fair MimbleWimble blockchain implementation.

• Scalable, privacy-preserving blockchain.
• Fair and verifiable coin distribution.
• Not controlled by any company, foundation or individual.

Prerequisites

• Rust: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install.
• SQLite: sudo apt install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev
• Grin node: https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin. You need to enable archival mode, so the explorer can see all the blocks, otherwise only the recent blocks can be explored.
