IPC is a novel approach to scale blockchain brought to us by builders behind Protocol Labs and Filecoin. "It enables the creation of flexible, living networks of customizable sidechains or "subnets", which can achieve massive scaling by running parallel chains that interoperate with one another" (as per [official website](https://www.ipc.space)).

Of course, there's a need to browse and explore subnets and see their interactions. But existing Ethereum block explorers (e.g., Blockscout) don't fully address such needs because they are not aware of subnets and don't support indexing multiple blockchains simultaneously. IPC Explorer aims to close this gap by building a subnet-aware explorer with scalability in mind.

Since Filecoin VM is an EVM-compatible runtime both IPC technology and IPC Explorer may work on Ethereum in the future.
