Could you build this?

Partial Building a basic web UI for a blockchain explorer is simple, but indexing high-throughput EVM blocks, transaction logs, and internal traces in real time requires specialized blockchain data infrastructure.

What it would actually take: Requires an indexing engine (Rust or Go) connected to an archive node via JSON-RPC/WebSockets, parsing every block, decoding transaction call data, ABI traces, and ERC-20/721 transfers into a high-performance database like ClickHouse or PostgreSQL. The challenging piece is handling reorgs, indexing millions of historical transactions, and sub-second live updates at 100+ TPS.
