SoroScan is a Stellar Soroban event indexer and monitoring platform that:
- 🔍 Indexes smart contract events from Soroban ledger in real-time
- 📊 Provides GraphQL and REST APIs for event querying
- 🪝 Delivers events via webhooks to third-party systems
- 📈 Tracks contract lifecycle, invocations, and dependencies
- 🔐 Verifies contract source code and bytecode integrity
- 📱 Exposes multi-tenant operations dashboard for enterprises
- Blockchain developers monitoring contract events
- DeFi platforms syncing events to data warehouses
- Enterprises tracking compliance and audit trails
- Operators managing Soroban network monitoring infrastructure
✅ Production-grade — 81% test coverage, clean migrations, 265 passing tests
✅ Enterprise-ready — Multi-tenancy, GDPR compliance, HA/DR
