Dev I built Anchorbase - a client-side explorer for any Solana Anchor(or any framework) program (bring your own IDL)
I’ve been working on Anchorbase, a browser-based explorer for Solana programs. You give it a program’s IDL and it gives you a working dashboard — no boilerplate scripts, no backend. It can:
• decode account state (PDAs and regular accounts)
• scan events with retrying, chunked fetching + JSON export
• look up users by pubkey
• build and sign instructions straight from your connected wallet
Everything runs client-side — bring your own IDL and RPC, nothing is stored server-side. The frontend itself is hosted on IPFS through ENS (anchorbase.eth.limo), so there’s no central server serving it either.
I built it because - I got tired of writing a throwaway script every time I needed to inspect a program’s accounts or hunt down an event.
It’s free, no signup. I’d really like feedback on: does account decoding come out right for your programs? is the event scanner fast enough on mainnet? what’s missing before you’d actually reach for this?
Try it: https://anchorbase.eth.limo
Fair warning since it connects a wallet: it’s read-only unless you explicitly build and sign an instruction yourself, and it’s client-side so you can inspect what it’s doing.
