Object Explorer Overview

Object Explorer is a real-time tool that visualizes XRPL ledger activity and OBJECT token transactions through dynamic 3D objects.

By mapping transaction failures (tec codes like tecAMM_UNFUNDED) onto object distortions, it gives you a visual way to assess ledger health and token interactions.


Why Use Object Explorer?

  • Enhanced Visualization: Traditional data lists can be hard to parse at a glance. Object Explorer transforms ledger metrics into dynamic and somewhat "bruised" 3D shapes, making patterns and anomalies immediately apparent.

  • Dual Functionality: Not only does it reflect ledger failure rates, but it also doubles as an OBJECT token visualizer.

  • Intuitive Metrics: Each ledger’s 3D object is modified based on the proportion of tec codes. A subtle noise distortion indicates a low failure rate, while a more pronounced “bruise” shows higher failure levels. A small icon with a percentage is displayed on the ledger card, giving you immediate insight into the error rate.

Example transaction with tec code error percentage shown as "2%."

How It Works

  1. Data Collection: The Explorer listens to XRPL ledger streams and gathers transaction data as ledgers close.

  2. Failure Rate Calculation: It calculates the failure rate by counting transactions with tec codes (for example, see tecINSUF_RESERVE_OFFER) relative to total transactions.

  3. Dynamic Object Modification: The calculated failure rate determines how much vertex noise is applied to a randomly chosen geometry. This distortion visually represents the ledger’s performance.

  4. OBJECT TX Toggle: A built-in toggle lets you filter the view to see OBJECT token transactions in a clean black & white theme, aligned with the official OBJECT icon.

  5. Interactive Lore (BONUS): Click or tap on any object to reveal a brief piece of lore—a poetic, auto-closing popup that adds personality and context to the data. This lore invites you to reflect on the ledger’s story and the underlying dynamics of the XRPL.

Example lore shared by an object once clicked or tapped.

Get Involved

If you notice a ledger with a tec (failure) percentage above 20%, we’d love to hear about it. Share your findings and tag us on X at @ObjectXRPL. Engagement helps reach new people, deepening the collective understanding of XRPL dynamics as well.
