Hi Roman!
Thanks for the proposal!
I like your background experience and love that you are building an open-source explorer. Your background experience in opcode debugging will help build better traces for the Aztec VM!
We would appreciate, if possible, to get access to technical people familiar with Aztec’s internals. We do not intend to bother them a lot, but we envision it could help us go through certain potential roadblocks faster.
Our devrel engineers and internal engineers usually hang in the discord. But if selected will be happy to help based on your questions.
+1 on uptime monitoring services. Such a tool could also be extended to monitor other Aztec nodes for testnet.
For testing, I’d also recommend making your explorer connected to the aztec sandbox. You could later even make this feature available to external users (and have otterscan like functionality).
