Getting started

Welcome to blocktorch! 👋 In our documentation you'll find everything about how you can monitor your web3 product/service to ensure little errors and best in class user experience
Web3 and decentralized applications (dApps) have introduced a new paradigm in software development, with unique challenges when it comes to system observability. Understanding and managing the data generated by these systems, as well as handling errors and ensuring application performance, can be complex tasks. As you might have experienced yourself, engineers in web3 spend a considerable amount of time on these complex tasks.
🐲🔥Blocktorch as an end-to-end observability platform empowers engineering teams to be more productive, take data-driven decisions, and scale dApps while ensuring a great user experience. 🐲🔥
Introducing Blocktorch
Blocktorch is an end-to-end observability platform designed specifically for web3 applications. It offers a comprehensive solution for monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimizing decentralized systems, making it easier for engineering teams to maintain high-quality dApps.
Key features of Blocktorch include:
  • Real-time monitoring of smart contract events and function calls
  • Alerting and notification systems for proactive issue detection
  • SLOs (Service Level Objectives) to measure and maintain performance standards
  • Log analysis and search functionality for efficient troubleshooting
  • Customizable dashboards and visualizations for data-driven decision-making
The challenge of observability in Web3
Decentralized applications (dApps) operate on distributed networks, relying on smart contracts and blockchain technology. These unique features present new challenges when it comes to observability:
  1. 1.
    Data Fragmentation: Data generated by dApps is often dispersed across multiple nodes and platforms, making it difficult to collect, analyze, and understand the overall system state.
  2. 2.
    Error Handling: Identifying and diagnosing errors in smart contracts can be time-consuming, as the immutability of blockchain technology prevents traditional debugging techniques.
  3. 3.
    Performance Monitoring: Ensuring optimal performance and user experience in dApps is crucial, but the decentralized nature of these systems complicates the process of monitoring and optimizing them.
Boosting engineering productivity with observability
Blocktorch's end-to-end observability platform enables you and your engineering team to be more productive by streamlining the monitoring and management of dApps. With Blocktorch, you can:
  • Quickly identify and resolve issues, minimizing downtime and ensuring a consistent user experience
  • Focus on core development tasks, rather than spending time on custom monitoring and troubleshooting solutions
  • Collaborate more effectively, using data-driven insights to drive decision-making and prioritize improvements
Scaling dApps and ensuring great user experience
As dApps scale and attract more users, maintaining a high level of performance and user experience becomes increasingly important. Blocktorch enables you to:
  • Monitor and maintain performance standards, even as user load increases
  • Proactively detect and resolve issues before they impact users
  • Ensure consistent user experience across different platforms and devices
By offering a comprehensive observability solution tailored to the unique challenges of web3, Blocktorch empowers you and your engineering team to build and maintain high-quality decentralized applications that delight users and stand the test of time.
Taking data-driven product & engineering decisions
Blocktorch helps you and your engineering team to make data-driven decisions by providing a comprehensive view of your dApp's performance and health. You can leverage Blocktorch's insights to:
  • Optimize application and smart contract performance and resource usage
  • Identify and address performance bottlenecks
  • Allocate resources more effectively, based on real-time data and trends
