Technical Report T-explorer
T-explorer is an advanced Telegram bot designed to explore the TRON blockchain in a simple and precise way.
It allows users to access reliable, up-to-date information about blocks, transactions, validators, governance, and wallet activity — all without leaving Telegram.
Technology Stack
T-explorer is developed in Python (latest stable version), ensuring high performance and compatibility with modern libraries.
Key implementation components:
telebot → Communication with the Telegram API and command handling.
Pillow (PIL) → Dynamic image generation, QR code rendering, and chart creation.
qrcode → Secure generation of QR codes for user addresses.
matplotlib → Price charts, validator statistics, and token metrics.
pandas → Efficient processing of blockchain data and price information.
requests → Real-time HTTP requests to blockchain and market data APIs.
datetime / timedelta → Timestamp management and interval calculations.
json & os → Data persistence and lightweight session storage.
The bot is optimized to run on Linux VPS environments, ensuring stability and continuous availability.
Data Sources
To guarantee accuracy and redundancy, T-explorer combines multiple data sources:
Coingecko API → TRX prices and data for other TRON ecosystem tokens.
Binance API → Real-time market depth, volume, and price quotes.
3xpl API → Independent block and transaction exploration.
Trongrid API → High-performance RPC gateway for blocks, transactions, and events.
Tronscan Public API → Contract information, tokens, validators, and governance (proposals, votes).
Main Features
Block Exploration
Retrieve detailed information for any block: height, producer, timestamp, transaction count, and confirmation status.
Transaction Tracking
Displays complete transaction data: sender/receiver addresses, token transfers, contract events, energy and bandwidth consumption, and smart contract method decoding.
Validators and Governance
Lists information about Super Representatives (SR), voting power, proposal activity, and delegation events — ideal for auditing network health.
Contract Event Lookup
Fetches and displays historical events (transfers, liquidity interactions, etc.) in a clean, structured format directly within Telegram.
QR Code Generation
Creates secure QR codes for TRON addresses, minimizing typing errors and making sending/receiving funds easier.
Wallet Intelligence
Shows balances, token holdings, and historical activity for any TRON address.
Interactive Keyboards and Commands
Uses InlineKeyboardMarkup and ReplyKeyboardMarkup to enable fast navigation and improve the user experience.
Automation and Reliability
Continuous Execution
Uses bot.polling(none_stop=True) to keep the service running without interruptions.
Exception Handling
Implements a retry system with time.sleep(20) to recover from network errors or API downtime.
Automated Reports
Publishes transparency reports including contract balances, token supply, and historical prices.
Silent Mode
Remains quiet in groups, only responding to commands or direct queries.
Visual Output and Analytics
Dynamic Charts
Price evolution over the last 7 days via matplotlib, ideal for quick analysis.
Rich Formatting in Telegram
Messages include bold text, emojis, and interactive buttons to open explorers or external resources.
Project Objective
T-explorer aims to be the most complete, modular, and accessible TRON explorer available inside Telegram, enabling any user to:
Audit contract and transaction history.
Verify tokenomics and holder distribution.
Monitor SR participation and governance proposals.
Simulate transaction costs and compare gas fees across chains.
Retrieve prices and balances instantly.
In this way, it turns Telegram into a mini blockchain explorer, bringing on-chain data closer to users in a simple, transparent, and trustless manner.
