About Midgard

What is Midgard?

Midgard is a blockchain explorer for the Pulsechain Network. Blockchain explorers are tools used for exploring data that is stored on a blockchain. It is an engine, just like Google but for blockchains. It can help you search, find, and analyze different wallets, blocks (blockchain is made out of blocks containing information), and addresses, tokens, and coins you are interested in, providing you full transparency.

What are some key features of a blockchain explorer?

Transaction details: With transaction details, you can actually see who is the sender of a certain token, who is the receiver, transaction fees paid, amounts transferred, and a lot more details that might happen between two main transactions.
Address lookups: You can check different addresses (wallets) and see their transaction histories or balances they had in the past or even the current ones.
Block information: Blockchain explorers give you the ability to inspect individual blocks; you can see all transactions that are done inside of one block. On Pulsechain, it is 10-second long blocks that consist of all sorts of transactions inside of it. You can easily see timestamps of the block, miners, and validators.
Network statistics: With a block explorer like Midgard, you will be able to see advanced metrics of Pulsechain. Hashrates, difficulties, transaction fees, or network activity.
Smart contract interactions: With a block explorer, you are able to interact with contracts of different projects, view source code and all contract details, even interact with different commands that the contract has.
Token tracking: With the ability to name any token address on the blockchain with the name you want to go with, adding them to the Favourites tab, you will be able to revisit all tokens you want to closely inspect whenever you feel like. See balances, transactions, or interactions of the contract itself.

What are the extra features of the Midgard block explorer?
midgard.wtf is no ordinary block explorer. Midgard is made from scratch, not mimicking any other block explorer. It incorporates AI in one of its tools. In its features, it offers the best combination of features like well-known block explorers have and adds a lot more on top. Midgard is known for its hybrid infrastructure that is made in the way to optimise speed and responsiveness. We combine regular indexing of the data used on block explorers combined with the power of RPCs, leveraging the best of both worlds. When it comes to extra features and tools coming with Midgard, here are some of them:

Reading messages (metadata) on the blockchain: Midgard is offering a service where you are able to read messages that are embedded into blockchain transactions via input or output fields. With this option, you can read all messages in transactions that someone wrote to stay on the blockchain forever.

Favourite tokens menu: Midgard is built in a way that you can highlight your favourite tokens, and immediately they are found in your favourites menu. It makes your explorations much easier and handy.
Renaming options: Midgard allows you to rename any address or contract that you are exploring so your exploration time is lower and more organised, guaranteeing you that you see addresses or tokens you really wanted to explore.

Being able to analyse DeFi sections of the blockchain: Midgard offers a possibility of not just searching for assets, balances, transactions, wallets, contracts, but also shows DeFi analytics in terms of how much of a certain asset is staked in DeFi protocols found on Pulsechain. You can easily monitor how much, for an instance, HEX stakes some addresses have, or you can see their staked positions in WATT or ICSA, etc. As time progresses, more and more DeFi protocols will be included.
Pulselock token locker and vesting feature: With the Midgard tool named Pulselock, you will be able to lock a certain amount of desired tokens for a certain amount of time. Why is this important? When you have your own project, new investors want to see that the creator is benevolent, and locking tokens for some time is always a good option. You can choose the amount of tokens and time for how long you want them to stay locked, and set vesting for other recipients. Pulselock is set to launch some time after the Midgard block explorer is out of beta.
Pulsecoin token factory: The Midgard team have one more project. Its name is Pulsecoin. It is a token factory with rather unique tokenomics which incentivise creators to reward stakers of the Pulsecoin (PLSC) token with a portion of their token supply when they make a new project, gaining an already built community and almost rugproof tokenomics for their new project. The Pulsecoin token might have future benefits for its holders when it comes to using Midgard.
Pending transactions: Pending transactions are transactions that have been sent to the network but have not yet been included into blocks or confirmed. They typically can be found in the memory pool (mempool). The mempool is a temporary holding area where validators are selecting transactions to process.

The mempool is Midgard for the transactions, the place where transactions go, before they get become runes in stone (when blocks are minted). Midgard has a direct connection to the mempool, and it enables users to see all unconfirmed transactions in real time.

Midgard AI scanner: The Midgard AI scanner is a new tool made by the Midgard team that is a scanner of contracts used by different projects. This way, you can analyse the safety of the token you would love to invest into. By incorporating AI into reading all functions (commands) the contract has, it can efficiently show what is the safety profile of the scanned token. The AI at the end gives a score for the scanned token and explains all its features. It shows contract features, risk summary, risky functions, suspicious patterns, and then, cream on top, gives its AI opinion and rating at the end of it. You gotta love it.
Midgard API: The Midgard block explorer will offer an API. The API offers detailed blockchain data mostly used by other developers to enable them access for data in building applications, wallets, or analytics tools.
Midgard supports domain-based addresses: Domain-based addresses are addresses that, instead of a hash of letters and numbers, are substituted by human-readable data, for example (Midgard.pls). This enables easier tracking or is giving us info about the owner of this address. Midgard supports PulseChain Name Service domains.
Midgard transaction visualizer: The Midgard team is working on a transaction visualizer which will drastically help in the visualisation of transactions done by a certain address or wallet. It gives a visual representation of complex transactional activities and helps analysing them. With different colors and circle sizes, it will show the frequency of transactions that are happening between different addresses. It will help in identifying suspicious activities, anomalies, trends, and behaviours. The user will be able to see everything happening on the blockchain in a visual context.
