Chainviz is a real-time 3D chain visualization of the Polkadot machinery.

You may find the release article on Medium.

Chainviz visualizes the following elements of the Polkadot and Kusama relay chains and validators in real-time:

• Active validators in a 3D representation and list format.
• Block production process.
• Block list, and block contents on click.
• Parachains, and their assigned validators.
• Recent XCM transfer messages, and message contents (powered by Polkaholic API).
• Basic network and staking data.
• Validator details panel, where the user can observe the validator in real-time.

Chainviz uses the services provided by the SubVT backend, part of SubVT, a project supported by the Kusama Treasury and W3F Grants.
