ENTERPRISE-GRADE OBSERVABILITY
Core Capabilities of Our IBC Tracer
Our IBC Tracer provides deep, actionable insights into cross-chain message flows, enabling your team to monitor, debug, and secure inter-blockchain communication with production-ready reliability.
01
Real-Time Packet Lifecycle Tracking
Monitor IBC packets end-to-end with millisecond granularity. Track packet states (SENT, RECEIVED, ACK, TIMEOUT) across source and destination chains to identify bottlenecks and failed transactions instantly.
