We are excited to announce the integration of Penumbra into Range’s IBC Explorer.

Starting today, users on Range can track all IBC transactions in and out of Penumbra. By integrating Penumbra, we’ve expanded the capability of our IBC Explorer to monitor, analyze, and investigate interchain transactions on one of the most advanced privacy blockchains in Cosmos.

What does this integration mean?

Penumbra is a fully private, cross-chain proof-of-stake network and decentralized exchange for the Cosmos and beyond. Penumbra introduces privacy-preserving features to the Cosmos ecosystem, allowing anyone to shield any IBC asset by transferring it into Penumbra's interchain shielded pool. 

Within Penumbra, users can transact, stake, swap, or market-make without broadcasting their personal information to the world. Unlike a transparent chain, where all information is public, Penumbra is end-to-end encrypted. Learn more about Penumbra’s privacy features here.

With this integration, you can now:

• Track cross-chain transactions between Penumbra and other Cosmos chains in real-time.

• Identify transaction trends while maintaining the confidentiality intrinsic to Penumbra.

• Detect anomalies in cross-chain transfers involving Penumbra with Range’s real-time alerting capabilities.

• Strengthen incident response by combining these insights with our advanced forensics tools.

• All this data is exposed via the Range API, so you can build custom solutions to integrate and act on Penumbra’s IBC transactions.

Despite now having unparalleled intelligence and visibility on IBC transfers to and from Penumbra, this integration still maintains all of Penumbra's privacy-preserving features. 

By incorporating privacy-preserving chains like Penumbra into Range’s tools, we are bridging the gap between privacy and transparency in blockchain. This integration also ensures that developers, product teams, and users can access secure, privacy-respecting solutions across the Cosmos ecosystem.
