Real-time blockchain data, portfolio tracking, AI-powered intelligence, and network analytics — built for traders, developers, and analysts who want accurate information without noise.
Why another XRPL explorer?
Most XRP Ledger explorers count mints as volume, display stale data, or bury the information that actually matters. Sonde takes a different approach: trade volume means trades only, data comes directly from XRPL nodes in real time, and the interface is designed around information hierarchy — the most important data is the most visible.
Real-time XRPL data
Live ledger feed
Sonde connects to XRP Ledger nodes via WebSocket for real-time data. Account pages fetch directly from your browser, distributing load across the network.
Accurate volume metrics
An ingestion pipeline processes every ledger close, computing hourly and daily rollups for DEX volume, network fees, payment corridors, and token OHLC data. Trade volume counts trades only — no inflated numbers.
Token and NFT analytics
OHLC candlestick charts, marketplace volume rankings, holder distribution, AMM pool data, and collection galleries — all sourced from on-ledger activity.
Network monitoring
Live fee burns, transaction breakdowns by type, validator amendment tracking, and payment corridor analysis across the XRP Ledger.
Portfolio tracking
Connect your wallet to track your XRP Ledger portfolio in real time. Sonde calculates unrealized and realized PnL using weighted-average cost basis, monitors your DeFi positions across AMM pools, and provides historical portfolio charts with XRP benchmark comparison. Export your full activity history as CSV for tax reporting.
AI-powered blockchain intelligence
Sonde's intelligence layer combines graph database analysis with AI to provide tools that go beyond basic block exploration. Trace the flow of funds between XRPL accounts, discover shortest paths between wallets, assess account risk scores, and ask natural language questions about on-ledger activity. Persistent investigation sessions let you build context over time as you research accounts and transaction patterns.
Design philosophy
Dense, technical blockchain data can be presented both efficiently and beautifully. A clear typographic hierarchy — display type for orientation, monospace for data, careful weight and size contrast — lets you scan a page and find what matters without reading everything. Color is used sparingly: one accent for interactive elements, subtle status colors for success and failure, and neutral tones for everything else. No ads, no tracking scripts, no third-party analytics. The site is the product, not you.
Built by
Sonde is designed and built by Timothy Ali, a multidisciplinary designer. Previously co-founded xrp.cafe, an NFT marketplace on the XRP Ledger, and Pixel Ape Rowboat Club (PARC), an NFT collection where he served as co-founder and artist. He also created the brand identity for First Ledger.

What's next
Sonde is actively expanding — deeper analytics, more intelligence tools, and a public API for developers building on the XRP Ledger. What you see today is the foundation for something much larger.
