**Introduction** As you are aware, Arbitrum Orbit represents a Universe of Chains, an expansive ecosystem of interconnected blockchain networks.  
Our proposal, **The Arbitrum Universe Explorer** , aims to bring this universe under one comprehensive visualization tool. This innovative platform will track the total volume of messages exchanged between L1 and L2 chains over the last 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days, offering a real-time view of the state and growth of the ecosystem.

**Key Features and Benefits**

1. **Supporting All Arbitrum Orbit Chains**

- Seamless integration with existing and future chains within the Arbitrum Orbit ecosystem, ensuring comprehensive coverage.

1. **Transaction and Block Exploration**

- Advanced search and view functionalities for transactions and blocks across all supported chains, providing detailed insights into blockchain activity.

1. **Smart Contract Exploration**

- Allows users to view and interact with smart contracts deployed on any Orbit chain. This includes code inspection, function calls, and visualization of stored data.

1. **Gas Tracker**

- Real-time tracking of gas prices and usage across the network, optimizing transaction efficiency.

1. **Wallet Address Lookup**

- Search for wallet addresses and view their activity across all supported chains, enhancing transparency and accountability.

1. **Rating and Security Scores**

- Community awareness, activation, and incentivization mechanisms, providing ratings and security scores for wallets and smart contracts. By leveraging the following Factors to Calculate Ratings and Security Scores.

1. **Intuitive Interface**

2. **Visualisation of Ecosystem Growth**

3. **Increased Visibility for Orbit Chains**

4. **Easy Indexer for New Chains**

5. **Foundation for Tracking Interchain and Interlayer Transactions**

**Competitive Edge** While many ecosystems are working towards similar visualization tools, the Arbitrum Universe Explorer will stand out by leveraging the strengths of the Arbitrum ecosystem. A prime example of success in this domain is the Cosmos ecosystem’s [Map of Zones](https://mapofzones.com/home?columnKey=ibcVolume&period=24h&mapType=3d), which effectively tracks IBC volumes across chains. Our explorer aims to surpass this by offering more comprehensive features and integrations tailored specifically for Arbitrum.

**Conclusion** We envision The Arbitrum Universe Explorer becoming the industry-leading block explorer designed for interchain analytics and operations. Providing unparalleled transparency and insight will be a critical tool for developers, stakeholders, and the broader community.  
We look forward to your feedback and are excited about the potential this holds for the future of the Arbitrum ecosystem.
