TokenBridge UI

DApp Management & Developer Tools

  • Tenderly dashboard supports POA transaction inspection - smart contracts can also be pushed to the dashboard for real-time monitoring.

Additional Resources

  • Governance DApps: To use governance dapps please switch to Sokol network in your Nifty Wallet

The current implementation requires a chain running OpenEthereum or Nethermind AuRa consensus. The Random Number generation contract was .

TokenBridge UI at

provides a decentralized API layer for DApp developers (IOS, Android & Web SDKs available) and blockchain users.

supports xDai data indexing, querying and display.

provides

Chain spec files and known bootnodes of the POA network

Netstats, an overview of POA Chain nodes

DApps Deployed to POA: Partial list of deployed DApps along with statistics and links

Chain files and known of the Sokol network

(Netstats) with a list of nodes on Sokol network. Nodes should have netstats agent installed to be listed in the netstats.

Validators DApp: In the DApp anyone can get information about validators of the Sokol network and their keys

Voting DApp: In the DApp anyone can get information about governance decisions on the Sokol network.
