Explore chain visualizers

[kronosapiens]

We want to improve the development experience by making it easier to understand what is happening on-chain. We should explore some options and integrate the best ones.

Suggestions

• Ethernal
• Tenderly
• BlockScout

I looked into Ethernal today. It seems like an easy fit for the front-end team, as the browser-based explorer can be easily pointed to localhost. Incorporating the hardhat-ethernal library and allowing data to persist after closing the browser will require an upgrade to Ethers 6, however.

Started exploring Blockscout.

Was very easy to spin up a container using docker compose -f hardhat-network.yml up, which includes a Postgres database and service on localhost:80

Next step is to incorporate the contract verifier to get the contract ABI's uploaded properly.
