A grass-roots, open-source snapshot of Cardano's on-chain history. It began by tracking the genesis ADA — and grew into a full-chain explorer: the NIGHT distribution and July's bridge drain, the SecondFi incident, community exchange tracers, and governance behavior. Clone it, wire it into the AI you already use, and ask your own questions.
No node. No relay. No db-sync. No API key. One copy-paste block gets your environment ready in about a minute.

Eight on-chain facts most people have never seen. Every one is graded, and every one you can verify yourself in a minute — that's the whole point. Don't trust the headline; run the query.
Five deep investigations, separated by what the chain proves, what it only suggests, and what it cannot establish. Numbers are snapshot-boundary figures, not live prices or claims of real-world ownership.
A closed 115-key reward-plumbing component provides a hard on-chain floor of roughly 1.694B ADA.
All 24B NIGHT trace to one mint and conserve exactly across the extracted spend graph.
The evidence supports key compromise, not a Cardano smart-contract or protocol exploit.
On 2026-07-20, four transactions moved 515.2M NIGHT — 97.75% of the Wanchain bridge — into one wallet in 8 minutes.
A wallet key-compromise on Cardano: 12.19M ADA confirmed stolen, and a further 129.4M ADA swept into one vault that has not moved since 2026-06-25.
Pick the AI you use and your OS. Copy each block into your terminal in order — it clones the repo, sets up the environment, and registers the read-only query server. Then just ask.
The clone ships 105 query-ready tables. Here's the map, grouped by what they answer — so you know what you can ask the moment setup finishes. Every answer your AI gives is graded by what the data proves.
Copy any of these straight into your AI once it's connected.
Every number here is reproducible from a plain clone. Starting from eight stake keys that each hold exactly 35,000,000 ADA, we followed their reward plumbing to its mathematical conclusion — all on-chain.
Each holds exactly 35,000,000 ADA, funded in one 4-day window, certified in synchronized bursts, all delegated to the same always-abstain DRep.
Their reward-sweep transactions co-sign withdrawals for dozens of other keys and funnel into four enterprise addresses that each received more than the entire ADA supply.
The wider fleet holds the same exact 35M parcels under the same governance posture — one operation, not eight keys.
Iterated to fixpoint: a closed 115-key component. The reward-plumbing surface is complete — a hard floor, not the first layer.
Every finding carries an evidence grade and links to a full, receipt-backed document. Search them.
Newest: F21 — relay registration and reachability, with the whole network's relay surface on one page.
Running live: BEACN vs grokbot — two AI agents given identical stakes on mainnet, scored from chain. Real money, no predictions, and the fees are the story.
And MINFREE — a slider for
minPoolCost. The floor is a flat ₳ tax. Raise it and a 1M ₳ pool gets
worse for delegators; saturated pools barely notice.
