SimBlock Visualizer

An online visualizer for SimBlock.

SimBlock is a blockchain network simulator, whose web site is here.

Usage

This visualizer is available from:

• https://dsg-titech.github.io/simblock-visualizer/

You can see the visualization by uploading output.json via the UPLOAD button.

• output.json, one of the SimBlock's output files, is listing occurred events during a simulation.
• If no files have been uploaded yet, this visualizer displays the visualization for the default output file as a demonstration.
• Note: This visualizer supports only the default setting for a list of regions ― BlockChainSimulator.settings.NetworkConfiguration#REGION_LIST.

The correspondence of each visible object is as follows:

• Circle: a blockchain node.
  • The coordinates (latitude and longitude) are randomly determined around the region of the node.
  • The color is associated with the latest block of the node.
  • Large circle: a miner of the block corresponding to the color.
• Edge: a propagation from a node to another node at the timestamp.
  • The color is associated with the flowing block.
  • Bold edge: a propagation just received at the timestamp.
