New update in CQuisitor:
- Address book and Eternl address registry. CQuisitor now shows an address’s name if it exists in the app’s address book or in the Eternl address registry.
- Optional automatic transaction validation. For when you’re too lazy to press the “Validate” t. If a transaction is already on-chain, you can open cardananium.github.io/cquisitor/tx/{tx_hash} and CQuisitor will fetch the transaction CBOR from your API provider. Note that this requires an API key to be set in the app.
Huge thanks to @Quantumplation for contributing!

A while ago I made a simple web app so I could look inside CBOR on the fly and quickly see what was in whatever transaction I was looking at. I named it Cquisitor.
Bit by bit it grew from a CBOR decoder into a set of tools that help you figure out what's wrong with a transaction debugger) and dehosk (a UPLC decompiler) grew up alongside it, first on their own, then inside Cquisitor.
Cquisitor can:
- validate a transaction and highlight what's broken
- tell if a tx involves a DEX and show order details when it can
- debug UPLC (DE-UPLC) or decompile it (dehosk)
- break CBOR down byte by byte and check it against CDDL
- decode transactions and other Cardano structures
The whole point of Cquisitor has always been to spend less time on broken transactions. These days a lot of that work happens with AI agents, so the next logical step was to let them use it too.
That's why I built cardano-debug-mcp. It gives your AI agent the same capabilities through its native tooling and saves you a lot of headaches while building on Cardano. It can even open the transaction in the Cquisitor web app and show you what's wrong.
Happy debugging:
github.com/cardananium/ca…
npm install -g @cardananium/cardano-debug-mcp
claude mcp add --scope user cardano-debug -- cardano-debug-mcp

Cquisitor just got a very sweet update from @Quantumplation: it can now decode SundaeSwap V4 transactions and show much more useful info about them. The new order graph looks like fresh ice cream during a summer heatwave.

New in CQuisitor: CDDL Tool
• Edit a CDDL schema next to CBOR, validate live
• Parse & mismatch errors mapped onto both schema and bytes
• Hover/pin links schema ↔ hex ↔ decoded JSON ↔ tree
• All Cardano era schemas one pick away, Conway bundled
• Auto-detects the root rules://t.co/feiahXJxwD

Some things we do just for fun. Some people collect pokemon cards, others build cars piece by piece.
As for me, sometimes I write random tools just out of curiosity—to see how realistic it is to build something.
So, meet a UPLC → Aiken-like pseudocode decompiler, available The decompilation quality can be a bit rough around the edges, sure - but where else have you seen something like this before?

Updates to DE-UPLC:
You can now profile your favourite UPLC code directly in DE-UPLC.
As always, you can share your debugging session via a link.
Don’t forget to star:

CQuisitor: cardananium.github.io/cquisitor/

Big day for de-uplc: it has now migrated to the web, so you no longer need to install an vs code extension to debug your UPLC code. Everything can be done in the web app: cardananium.github.io/de-uplc-web/
In addition to the previous functions of de-uplc, it can now debug random UPLC code nsaction context.
But it wouldn’t be a big day without integration with CQuisitor: there is now a button that navigates to de-uplc to debug a specific redeemer in its transaction context.

Additionally, CQuisitor can now detect usage and decode datums from the following projects:
SundaeSwap
Minswap
WingRiders
Splash
MuesliSwap
Genius Yield
VyFinance
SaturnSwap
CSWAP
Chakra
ChadSwap
SnekFun
Danogo
Liqwid Finance
Lenfi
FluidTokens
Levvy
Indigo Protocol
Butane
Djed
nance
Charli3
Orcfax
JPG Store
The list of projects is a bit eclectic — I was just experimenting and having fun. Except for SundaeSwap support — for that, you already know who to thank (Just check previous tweets).
Detection and decoding may be limited for some projects, but you can always open a PR to CQuisitor or DM me.

More features for CQuisitor:
1. You can now inspect the script context for each script.
2. Load on-chain transaction CBOR directly in the CQuisitor interface.
3. View script trace logs in the Plutus scripts tab.
4. See asset details for each asset in a transaction.
5. See in decimals.
6. See how much of the total execution unit limits are used in the transaction.
7. Paste a missing signature and submit the transaction directly in the CQuisitor UI.
8. See the divergence of the validity interval from the local time.
Big kudos to @Quantumplation for:
Script context inspection
Script trace logs
Execution unit limits usage
Missing signature paste and transaction submission
Validity interval divergence from local time

Bro tool reference in CQuisitor.
If you’re tired of CQuisitor or want to check an alternative view, you can now go directly to Tx Studio by @Ryun1_ and check your transaction there.
Both tools are great.

A week of great updates for CQuisitor: it now supports Blockfrost.
Blockfrost has some limitations from a data-providing perspective, but it’s still a solid alternative.
Extra huge thanks to @Quantumplation for adding it!

Small but gorgeous updates to CQuisitor:
1. If a CBOR payload is invalid, CQuisitor can now show the partially decoded payload with error highlighting. No more guessing where it was encoded incorrectly.
2. The tool now shows warnings when a CBOR payload uses non-canonical encoding.

Now in CQuisitor, you can share your CBOR with a link. Sometimes you come across a funny transaction or CBOR and want to share it with your friends, colleagues, or family—like it’s the latest meme. But honestly, if CBOR makes you laugh, you might need to see a doctor… and ion.

I have one more tool to mention that could be very useful for developers who want to debug UPLC code in the context of a transaction. It is called DE-UPLC.
github.com/cardananium/de…
DE-UPLC is a VS Code extension that provides a convenient UI for working with UPLC’s otherwise -machine-based execution model.
The extension uses a modified UPLC representation that preserves more information than the usual textual UPLC view. It also provides convenient debugging features such as breakpoints, step-by-step execution, and other familiar UI tools.
In addition, it can display the machine state, machine frames, transaction context, and CEK-machine environments.
The workflow is straightforward: you simply open a transaction hex file in the extension and choose the redeemer whose script you want to debug.
The latest .vsix file can be downloaded from the GitHub Releases page:
github.com/cardananium/de…
This project is quite experimental but if DE-UPLC looks useful to you, please give it a star on GitHub — it really helps the project.

No one asked, but it was done:
Script data hash decomposition in CQuisitor.
The most annoying part to debug is now easier.
Limitations: it requires datums to be serialized with a set tag and redeemers as a map, but this can be updated if needed.
