The project has released for bug fixes


Current Plans

  • Add more information on the Hyperledger Fabric network to get more insight from data
    • Endorsement Policy
    • Metrics exposed by each peer via Prometheus

    • Track historical operations for any specific state
    • Automatically analyzing schema of the ledger state
  • Continue on bug fixes, help community in configuring HLExplorer and troubleshooting
  • Integrate the additional features mentioned in the "Contributor Diversity" section into Explorer


Maintainer Diversity

No new maintainers were added. We really need the community to come forward and contribute.

Please find here the maintainers list. https://github.com/hyperledger/blockchain-explorer/blob/master/MAINTAINERS.md


Contributor Diversity

The current main contributors are from DTCC and Fujitsu. We have 3 unique contributors on Github in this quarter.

And we had some proposals for Hyperledger Explorer as below:

  • New contributions
  • WIP contributions
    • minifab
      • This project is offering Hyperledger Explorer support as one of their features and we think it will be a good mutual reference. 
    • hyperledger-explorer-made-easy
      • This is a kind of utility tool for the easy setup of Hyperledger Explorer. After evaluating this tool and having a consensus for merging it into the Explorer repo within the team, we might get it included in Explorer as one of the official features.


Additional Information
