LazyLora

Terminal UI for Algorand blockchain exploration

LazyLora is a terminal user interface for exploring the Algorand blockchain. Browse blocks, transactions, accounts, assets, and applications - all from your terminal.

What You Can Do

• Browse the latest blocks and transactions in real-time
• Search by transaction ID, account address, block number, asset ID, or NFD name
• Inspect transactions with visual graph view showing inner transactions and asset flows
• Explore accounts (balances, assets, apps), assets (supply, metadata), and applications (state, programs)
• Export transaction graphs as SVG files
• Copy transaction IDs, addresses, or raw JSON to clipboard
• Open any entity directly in your browser (Lora explorer)
• Switch between MainNet, TestNet, and LocalNet

lazylora -t <TXID>

# Look up an account
lazylora -a <ADDRESS>

# Look up a block
lazylora -b <BLOCK_NUMBER>

# Look up an asset
lazylora -s <ASSET_ID>

# Open transaction in graph view
lazylora -t <TXID> -g

Switch Networks

Press n in the app to switch between MainNet, TestNet, and LocalNet. Or specify at launch:

Networks

LazyLora connects to Algorand networks. Press n to switch.

MainNet

Production network. Real ALGO, real transactions. This is the default.

lazylora              # defaults to mainnet
lazylora -n mainnet   # explicit

TestNet

Test network for development. Free test ALGO from the faucet.

lazylora -n testnet

LocalNet

Your local Algorand node. Useful with AlgoKit LocalNet.

# Start LocalNet first
algokit localnet start

# Then connect
lazylora -n localnet

LocalNet connects to http://localhost:4001 (algod) and http://localhost:8980 (indexer).

Current Network

The header shows which network you’re connected to. Live updates indicator shows connection status.

Searching

Press f to focus the search bar. Type your query and press Enter.

Auto-Detection

LazyLora detects what you’re searching for:

Type Indicator

While typing, a badge shows the detected type:

• [TXN] - Transaction
• [BLK] - Block
• [ACC] - Account/NFD
• [AST] - Asset
• [???] - Unknown (won’t search)

Search Keys

CLI Search

Skip the TUI and go directly to results:

lazylora -t <TXID>           # Transaction
lazylora -a <ADDRESS>        # Account
lazylora -b <BLOCK>          # Block
lazylora -s <ASSET_ID>       # Asset
lazylora -t <TXID> -g        # Transaction in graph view

CLI Commands

Launch

lazylora              # MainNet (default)
lazylora -n testnet   # TestNet
lazylora -n localnet  # LocalNet

Direct Lookups

lazylora -t <TXID>           # Transaction
lazylora -a <ADDRESS>        # Account (or NFD name)
lazylora -b <BLOCK_NUMBER>   # Block
lazylora -s <ASSET_ID>       # Asset
