# grin.us-ea.st — Grin Blockchain Explorer
Blockchain explorer for Grin cryptocurrency. Fork of [aglkm/grin-explorer](https://github.com/aglkm/grin-explorer) deployed at [grin.us-ea.st](https://grin.us-ea.st), with branding and example endpoints pointed at our node.
## 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.
## Installation
1. Clone repository: `git clone https://git.pka.world/butler/grin-explorer.git`
2. Build explorer:
```
cd grin-explorer
cargo build --release
```
4. Run executable: `RUST_LOG=rocket=warn,grin_explorer ./target/release/grin-explorer`
