Abstract
Blockchain is a distributed, secure and leading technology that enables the immutability, traceability and transparency of data. Nevertheless, integrating blockchain network monitoring with other systems is a difficult task that requires a vast knowledge of the technology. To deal with this challenge, in this demo we present Node4Chain, a novel extension of the Node-RED low-code tool that allows for defining graphical flows that specify data inputs, outputs and processing logic needed to monitor in real time blockchain networks, such as Ethereum, Binance or Polygon, as well as integrating it with other systems and technologies.
