Explorer proposal

Development Fund Proposal Submission

Proposal file: /proposals/2026-07-Helena-canton-explorer.md

---

Summary

This proposal seeks funding to harden and expand canton-explorer, an already-usable public explorer and operational console for Canton. It delivers value to the Canton ecosystem by giving developers a much clearer way to inspect ledger and network behavior without heavy ad hoc debugging, while also giving operators a practical console for real network activity and internal tokens beyond Canton Coin.

Notes for Reviewers

canton-explorer is already live and publicly visible at https://canton.sweetsquare.io, with source available at https://github.com/distrohelena/canton-explorer. This is not a greenfield request: the proposal is for hardening, expanding, and documenting a tool that already demonstrates practical value for both developers and operators.
