# 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](https://xrpl.org/docs/references/protocol/transactions/transaction-results/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.

### 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](https://xrpl.org/docs/references/protocol/transactions/transaction-results/tec-codes#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.

### 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.
