How Beryx is Elevating the Filecoin Ecosystem

February 6, 2025

2 min read


Beryx by Zondax enhances the Filecoin ecosystem with a powerful explorer, developer tools, real-time data API, gas estimation, and a testnet faucet—empowering seamless blockchain interactions.

The Filecoin network, with its innovative approach to decentralized storage, presents both exciting opportunities and complex challenges. Effectively interacting with and understanding this network requires specialized tools. Beryx, developed by Zondax, aims to address this need. This blog examines the capabilities of Beryx and its role in facilitating a more transparent and accessible Filecoin experience.

Beryx: A Platform for Blockchain Interaction


Beryx is more than a traditional blockchain explorer. It provides a platform combining real-time network data, a comprehensive historical dataset, and developer-focused APIs. This combination allows users not only to observe the Filecoin blockchain but also to interact with it programmatically.

Key Features and Functionalities


The following sections describe the core features of Beryx:

1. Blockchain Data Exploration: Beryx offers an interface for accessing information about addresses, transactions, tipsets, blocks, and smart contracts on the Filecoin network. This functionality allows users to retrieve and verify data related to network activity.

2. Developer Tools: Beryx includes tools designed to support developers building on the Filecoin network:

  • Smart Contract Interaction: Beryx enables interaction with deployed smart contracts, facilitating examination of contract code and direct engagement with contract functions.

  • Address Format Conversion: Beryx supports conversion between Ethereum and Filecoin address formats, which is useful for developers building applications that interact with multiple blockchain networks. 

  • Mempool Monitoring: Beryx provides real-time monitoring of the mempool, allowing developers to observe pending transactions and optimize application performance.

  • Gas Estimation: Beryx offers gas estimation capabilities, giving developers insight into the computational costs associated with transactions on the Filecoin network.

3. Public API for Data Access: Beryx offers a public API that allows developers to programmatically access Filecoin network data. This API provides access to transaction details, multisig information, and fee structures, enabling the creation of custom tools and applications.
4. Testnet Faucet: Beryx includes a testnet faucet, distributing test FIL tokens for use on the Filecoin test network. This resource allows developers to experiment and test smart contracts and dApps in a controlled environment.

Beryx within the Filecoin Ecosystem


As the Filecoin network evolves, tools like Beryx become increasingly important. Beryx provides a mechanism for accessing and interacting with the Filecoin blockchain, supporting both individual users and developers building on the network. Beryx supports the development of the Filecoin ecosystem by encouraging developers to create new functionalities and explore different use cases. Events like HackFS 2024 provide opportunities for this. Community participation strengthens the Filecoin ecosystem, and Beryx has received two RetroPGF grants in recognition of their contributions.

So, if you haven’t explored Beryx yet, now is the time. Explore it, start building, and take your Filecoin projects to the next level - and if you want to give us some feedback, it is more than welcomed, you can do it here and then click on ´Feedback´.
