OUR MISSION

The Cosmos ecosystem is one of the most technically ambitious blockchain networks ever built — a living internet of sovereign chains connected through the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol. Yet most explorers serving this ecosystem are opaque, centralized, and require trusting a third party's data pipeline before you can understand what's happening on-chain.

Atom Registry was built to fix that. Our goal: give every developer, validator, delegator, and curious human a real-time window into the Interchain — one that runs entirely in their browser, queries public nodes directly, and never passes your activity through our servers. We physically cannot log your searches because there is no server to log them on.

We believe blockchain infrastructure should be transparent by default. An explorer that is itself a black box is a contradiction in terms.

WHAT WE OFFER9 CORE FEATURES
MULTI-CHAIN
Switch instantly between 28+ Cosmos SDK chains — Cosmos Hub, Osmosis, Celestia, dYdX, Neutron, Stargaze, and more. One click, zero reloads.
REAL-TIME FEEDS
Live blocks, live transactions, and a scrolling activity ticker. Block times, TPS, bonded ratio, and price all refresh every 6 seconds.
🏛
GOVERNANCE
Full proposal lifecycle — voting, passed, rejected, deposit. Tally bars, per-voter breakdowns, full description text, and deposit tracking.
🌐
IBC VISIBILITY
Open channels, connections, and light clients. Resolve any ibc/ denom trace to its base denom and origin chain for complete cross-chain asset clarity.
🔍
DEEP SEARCH
Search any block, tx hash, wallet, or valoper address. CosmWasm contract addresses resolve to full contract state and a live query interface.
📊
VALIDATOR ANALYTICS
Full validator set with uptime bars, VP share, commission, self-delegation, and Nakamoto coefficient for decentralization health.
🔒
ZERO DATA COLLECTION
No API keys, no login, no analytics, no backend. Every query goes browser-to-node directly. The architecture makes collection impossible.
KEYBOARD FIRST
Press 1–8 to navigate pages, / for search, ? for the shortcut panel, Esc to close modals. Everything accessible without a mouse.
🎨
DARK & LIGHT
Full dark mode by default with a complete light theme. Preference saved to localStorage and synced across all Atom Registry pages.
TECHNOLOGY

Atom Registry is a single HTML file. No build toolchain, no npm install, no framework. This was a deliberate decision: fewer moving parts means a more auditable, more trustworthy explorer.

DATA SOURCES

  • Cosmos SDK LCD/REST API — cosmos, bank, staking, gov, distribution, slashing modules
  • Tendermint RPC via the REST gateway — block, tx, validator queries
  • CosmWasm smart contract API — code list, contract info, state queries
  • IBC core API — channels, connections, clients, denom traces
  • CoinGecko public API — price data and 24h sparklines

ENDPOINT STRATEGY

  • Per-chain curated endpoint lists with automatic failover rotation
  • Exponential backoff on failure — 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s, up to 30s
  • Baked-in capability flags per chain eliminate unnecessary probe requests
  • Public Node and Cosmos Directory as primary fallback providers

CLIENT ARCHITECTURE

  • Vanilla ES6 JavaScript — zero dependencies, zero framework overhead
  • CSS custom properties for the complete design system and theming
  • localStorage for cross-session caching of validators, blocks, and governance
  • Hash-based routing for deep-linkable pages and proposal modals
MILESTONES
2024 Q3
INITIAL LAUNCH
Core explorer launched with live blocks, transactions, and validators for Cosmos Hub and Osmosis. Real-time 6-second polling, localStorage caching, and dark/light theming.
2024 Q4
MULTI-CHAIN EXPANSION
Expanded to 20+ chains. Governance module added with full proposal lifecycle. IBC channels, connections, and supply distribution visualization shipped.
2025 Q1
ANALYTICS DEPTH
Price sparklines, TPS history, Nakamoto coefficient, cross-chain comparison strip, validator uptime bars, CSV export, keyboard shortcuts, and the live activity ticker.
2025 Q2
COSMWASM + IBC DEPTH
CosmWasm contract explorer with live query tool, IBC denom trace resolution, authz/feegrant module support, governance vote transparency, node status panel, and upgrade plan detection.
2025 Q3
ROADMAP
Planned: mempool viewer, transaction simulation, wallet connect for on-chain governance voting, extended CosmWasm interaction UI, and full mobile PWA packaging.
SUPPORTED CHAINS28 AND GROWING

Every chain is configured with hand-curated endpoint lists, per-chain capability flags for modules like CosmWasm, authz, feegrant, and governance version, plus chain-specific display parameters including denom decimals, bech32 prefixes, and color theming.

We evaluate new chains based on public REST endpoint availability, mainnet stability, and ecosystem significance. To request a chain, contact us with the chain ID and at least one reliable public REST endpoint.
