What is a box?
A box is Ergo’s eUTXO atom: nanoERG value, tokens, an ErgoTree (script), and optional registers R4–R9. Transactions spend boxes and create new ones.

Short eUTXO primers — how Lumen Stage sees the chain.
Why not accounts?
Account balances hide concurrency. Boxes are independent — better isolation for DeFi and parallel validation.
What do the balls mean?
Each ball is an unconfirmed transaction. Size tracks bytes; color tracks activity type; glow hints high fee rate.
Ordering window (mainnet)
Blocks seal roughly every two minutes. The Stage “ordering window” is synthetic progress toward the next seal — not Matrix input blocks (devnet-only today).
Storage rent
After ~1,051,200 blocks (~4 years), a box can be charged rent ≈ storageFeeFactor × size. See Box and /rent pages.
Tokens & NFTs
EIP-4 assets live inside boxes. Prices/pools via Spectrum; NFT feed is recent-window only, not a full catalog.
eUTXO graph
Every transaction spends boxes and creates boxes. Tx pages show that graph — not just “from/to” accounts.
Self-hosted & honest
Core data from your mainnet node. No ads. External APIs only enrich prices/rich list. Watchlist is local.
Is the explorer ready?
Yes — Full Explorer 1.0.0 SEALED at stage.ergolumen.net. Phase 2 later: full historical indexer, Nautilus. Disk ~76% is node data floor.
