Cymbal is a human readable block explorer for Ethereum (and soon Solana). Regardless of your thoughts on blockchains, web3 or NFTs, one thing most can agree on is that blockchains are confusing. Everything happening on-chain should be more easily understood.
Hey Product Hunt… today, we’re excited to launch Cymbal, the human readable block explorer!
Blockchain, cryptocurrency, and web3 represent a lot of different things to different people. To some, they are exciting new technologies full of promise and opportunity. To others, they are frivolous platforms with no real utility or value. But despite those differing views, all those who love, hate, find amusement in, or simply ignore the entire sector can usually agree on one thing: blockchains are confusing.
It’s reminiscent of the early days of computing when users relied solely on complex command line interfaces like Unix Shell to navigate the very first computers. Blockchains are currently in a similar “command line era”, where usability is still an unsolved problem and a huge barrier to cryptocurrency adoption.
Fortunately, the computing industry would eventually create far more intuitive and convenient options for navigating computers; from graphical interfaces, to touch navigation, and now even conversations powered by AI to make computers accessible to everyone. We believe that can happen for the blockchain too.
Our goal is to create something most humans can understand. We started with the most visual form of chain data, NFTs, and will be expanding our data platform to cover most types of transactions soon. All data is in real-time on the Cymbal platform. Currently, we offer support for Ethereum, with Solana launching in the next few weeks.
Excited to answer any questions about Cymbal.

Who hunted Cymbal?
Cymbal was hunted by James Jerlecki. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
