Description

⚡Flash -- The fastest way to build with Flow data.


flash is a next-generation blockchain data explorer built entirely on top of Find Labs Simple API, designed to make Flow blockchain data instant, transparent, and developer-friendly.

In a world where blockchain data is often locked behind complex RPCs, node management, or custom indexers — Flash breaks the barrier by giving developers, analysts, and enthusiasts a real-time window into the Flow network with zero setup.

Built using Vite + React for blazing-fast performance and clean UI, Flash demonstrates the true power of Find Labs’ APIs — transforming raw, technical blockchain data into meaningful, visual insights accessible to anyone.


💡 The Vision

Blockchain shouldn’t feel like black magic.
With Flash, we aim to make the Flow ecosystem as easy to understand as refreshing a webpage.

Whether you’re tracking new blocks, visualizing transactions, monitoring contract events, or analyzing staking rewards — Flash delivers all this data in real time through a simple, beautiful dashboard.

It’s built for builders, analysts, and curious minds who want to explore Flow without running nodes, managing infrastructure, or writing a single line of Cadence.


🚀 Core MVP Features

Feature

Description

🧩 Block Explorer

Browse the latest Flow blocks with height, ID, timestamp, and transaction count in real time.

🔍 Transaction Viewer

Search, filter, and view transaction details — including involved addresses, gas usage, and event logs.

⚙️ Event Feed

Monitor contract events live via Find Labs’ /events endpoint, perfect for real-time analytics and dev debugging.

💬 Alert & Notification System

Subscribe to events and receive off-chain notifications (e.g., via Discord or webhook) when specific triggers occur.

💰 Staking Rewards Dashboard

Visualize both delegated staking and node operator rewards, turning complex reward data into understandable insights.

📊 Network Summary & Analytics

Aggregate data into charts — showing block speed, transaction volume, and active addresses in real time.


🧠 Why It Matters

Most blockchain explorers are designed for power users.
They’re slow, complex, and often built around raw RPC endpoints that are hard to integrate.

Flash takes a completely different approach — it’s a developer-first, API-native, and real-time dashboard that leverages Find Labs’ unified access layer across Cadence and EVM on Flow.

It’s not just an explorer — it’s a foundation for future tools, analytics dashboards, or even on-chain automation systems built on top of Flow data.
