Onion Monero Blockchain Explorer

Currently available Monero blockchain explorers have several limitations which are of special importance to privacy-oriented users:

they use JavaScript,
have images which might be used for cookieless tracking,
track users activates through google analytics,
are closed sourced,
are not available as hidden services,
do not support Monero testnet nor stagenet networks,
have limited JSON API.

In this example, these limitations are addressed by development of an Onion Monero Blockchain Explorer. The example not only shows how to use Monero C++ libraries, but also demonstrates how to use:

crow - C++ micro web framework
mstch - C++ {{mustache}} templates
json - JSON for Modern C++
fmt - Small, safe and fast string formatting library

Development branch

Current development branch:

https://github.com/moneroexamples/onion-monero-blockchain-explorer/tree/devel

Note: devel branch of the explorer follows master branch of the monero.

Compilation on Ubuntu 16.04/18.04

Compile latest Monero version (0.14.0.0)

Download and compile recent Monero into your home folder:

# first install monero dependecines
sudo apt update

sudo apt install git build-essential cmake libboost-all-dev miniupnpc libunbound-dev graphviz doxygen libunwind8-dev pkg-config libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libgtest-dev libreadline-dev libzmq3-dev libsodium-dev libhidapi-dev libhidapi-libusb0

# go to home folder
cd ~

# download monero sourced for branch release-v0.13 
git clone --recursive -b release-v0.13 https://github.com/monero-project/monero.git

cd monero/

USE_SINGLE_BUILDDIR=1 make

Compile and run the explorer

Once the Monero is compiles, the explorer can be downloaded and compiled as follows:

# go to home folder if still in ~/monero
cd ~

# download the source code 
git clone https://github.com/moneroexamples/onion-monero-blockchain-explorer.git

# enter the downloaded sourced code folder
cd onion-monero-blockchain-explorer

# make a build folder and enter it
mkdir build && cd build

# create the makefile
cmake ..

# altearnatively can use: cmake -DMONERO_DIR=/path/to/monero_folder ..
# if monero is not in ~/monero
#
# also can build with ASAN (sanitizers), for example
# cmake -DSANITIZE_ADDRESS=On ..

# compile
make

To run it:

./xmrblocks

By default it will look for blockchain in its default location i.e., ~/.bitmonero/lmdb. You can use -b option if its in different location.

For example:

./xmrblocks -b /home/mwo/non-defult-monero-location/lmdb/

Example output:

These are aliases similar to those used for http://139.162.32.245:8081/ and http://139.162.32.245:8082/, respectively.

Enable Monero emission

Obtaining current Monero emission amount is not straight forward. Thus, by default it is disabled. To enable it use --enable-emission-monitor flag, e.g.,

xmrblocks --enable-emission-monitor

This flag will enable emission monitoring thread. When started, the thread will initially scan the entire blockchain, and calculate the cumulative emission based on each block. Since it is a separate thread, the explorer will work as usual during this time. Every 10000 blocks, the thread will save current emission in a file, by default, in ~/.bitmonero/lmdb/emission_amount.txt. For testnet or stagenet networks, it is ~/.bitmonero/testnet/lmdb/emission_amount.txt or ~/.bitmonero/stagenet/lmdb/emission_amount.txt. This file is used so that we don't need to rescan entire blockchain whenever the explorer is restarted. When the explorer restarts, the thread will first check if ~/.bitmonero/lmdb/emission_amount.txt is present, read its values, and continue from there if possible. Subsequently, only the initial use of the tread is time consuming. Once the thread scans the entire blockchain, it updates the emission amount using new blocks as they come. Since the explorer writes this file, there can be only one instance of it running for mainnet, testnet and stagenet. Thus, for example, you cant have two explorers for mainnet running at the same time, as they will be trying to write and read the same file at the same time, leading to unexpected results. Off course having one instance for mainnet and one instance for testnet is fine, as they write to different files.

When the emission monitor is enabled, information about current emission of coinbase and fees is displayed on the front page, e.g., :

Monero emission (fees) is 14485540.430 (52545.373) as of 1313448 block

The values given, can be checked using Monero daemon's print_coinbase_tx_sum command. For example, for the above example: print_coinbase_tx_sum 0 1313449.

To disable the monitor, simply restart the explorer without --enable-emission-monitor flag.

Enable JavaScript for decoding proving transactions

By default, decoding and proving tx's outputs are done on the server side. To do this on the client side (private view and tx keys are not send to the server) JavaScript-based decoding can be enabled:

xmrblocks --enable-js

Enable SSL (https)

By default, the explorer does not use ssl. But it has such a functionality.

As an example, you can generate your own ssl certificates as follows:

cd /tmp # example folder
openssl genrsa -out server.key 1024
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt

Having the crt and key files, run xmrblocks in the following way:

./xmrblocks --ssl-crt-file=/tmp/server.crt --ssl-key-file=/tmp/server.key

Note: Because we generated our own certificate, modern browsers will complain about it as they cant verify the signatures against any third party. So probably for any practical use need to have properly issued ssl certificates.

JSON API

The explorer has JSON api. For the API, it uses conventions defined by JSend. By default the api is disabled. To enable it, use --enable-json-api flag, e.g.,

./xmrblocks --enable-json-api

api/outputs?txhash=<tx_hash>&address=&viewkey=&txprove=<0|1>

For txprove=0 we check which outputs belong to given address and corresponding viewkey. For txprove=1 we use to prove to the recipient that we sent them founds. For this, we use recipient's address and our tx private key as a viewkey value, i.e., viewkey=<tx_private_key>

Checking outputs:

Proving transfer:

We use recipient's address (i.e. not our address from which we sent xmr to recipient). For the viewkey, we use tx_private_key (although the GET variable is still called viewkey) that we obtained by sending this txs.

api number is store as uint32_t. In this case 65536 represents major version 1 and minor version 0. In JavaScript to get these numbers, one can do as follows:

var api_major = response.data.api >> 16;
var api_minor = response.data.api & 0xffff;

api/rawblock/<block_number|block_hash>

Return raw json block data, as represented in Monero.

curl  -w "\n" -X GET "http://139.162.32.245:8081/api/rawblock/1293257"

Example result not shown.

api/rawtransaction/<tx_hash>

Return raw json tx data, as represented in Monero.

curl  -w "\n" -X GET "http://139.162.32.245:8081/api/rawtransaction/6093260dbe79fd6277694d14789dc8718f1bd54457df8bab338c2efa3bb0f03d"
