HederaExplorer, developed by Acoer with support from The HBAR Foundation, is mirror node explorer tool and rich Hedera transaction analytics platform specific to the Hedera blockchain ecosystem. Its purpose is to offer a decentralized and cost-effective means to store and query historical data from Hedera's public mainnet, thereby lowering the demand on network resources. It offers rich visualization and real-time reporting of many Hedera transactions, allowing the community to easily absorb insights about the network and its activities.
Users also have access to on-request advanced features, such as historical reporting, archives by timeframe or accounts, and topic-based transactions. It is a unique tool for Hedera enabling real-time performance in an open, scalable, and economically sustainable manner.
The platform is built using Acoer's HashLog data management and visualization technologies, combined with an open-source online analytical processing (OLAP) data architecture. This foundation allows HederaExplorer to deliver its insights effectively. Beyond its standard real-time reporting and visualization capabilities, HederaExplorer also provides access to on-request advanced features. These advanced options include functionalities such as detailed historical reporting, the ability to create archives based on specific timeframes or accounts, and access to topic-based transactions from the Hedera Consensus Service.

Magic is a Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) platform that provides developers with tools to streamline user onboarding for decentralized applications, including those built on the Hedera network. The platform's core offering is an SDK that enables seamless authentication and the instant creation of non-custodial wallets for end-users, bypassing many of the traditional complexities of Web3.
For the Hedera ecosystem, Magic allows dApp developers to offer familiar Web2 login methods, such as email or social accounts, instead of requiring users to manage seed phrases or install separate browser-extension wallets. When a user logs into a Magic-enabled Hedera dApp, a secure, Hedera-compatible wallet is automatically generated for them in the background. This wallet is fully capable of interacting with the Hedera network, allowing the user to sign transactions, manage HBAR and HTS tokens, and engage with smart contracts.
The underlying technology uses a delegated key management system, where private keys are encrypted and stored in secure hardware modules, ensuring users retain full control and ownership of their assets without the burden of direct key management.
