eth-rain

Problem Statement

Matrix.Eth is a terminal-native data visualizer that turns live Ethereum blocks into a “Matrix rain” experience where each falling glyph stream encodes real, meaningful on-chain signals. Instead of charts and dashboards, you watch the chain flow: blocks arrive, transactions cascade, MEV spikes glow brighter, gas pressure thickens the rain, and L2 bridges streak across your screen.

Solution

Rust with alloy-rs + ratatui renderer. We stream blocks and (optionally) mempool txs, transform them into a compact stream model, then render a physically-inspired rain simulation (velocity, decay, diffusion) in a double-buffered terminal grid.TODO add more information regarding the architecture.
