Ganache Blockchain Log Generator - Ethereum Development Simulator | Fakeact

Generate Ganache local blockchain logs with accounts, transactions, and block mining. Perfect for Ethereum smart contract testing and Web3 development tutorials.

Terminal preview

Press Ctrl + C to exit. Output is simulated for demo purposes only.

Overview

This module simulates local accounts, rpc calls, and transaction flow log events with realistic pacing.

It is designed for demos, log pipeline testing, and documentation where the real stack is unavailable.

All output is generated locally in the browser and is safe to run.

Use cases

  • Demo ganache workflows without running the real stack.
  • Test log ingestion rules around local accounts and transaction flow events.
  • Create screenshots, recordings, or training material on demand.

Notes

  • All output is simulated text; no system changes are made.
  • Refresh the page to restart the log stream.
  • Use the CLI for longer sessions or offline demos.

Yes. The CLI supports speed and repeat options, and the web page can be refreshed.

Does ganache change my system?

No. It does not install, update, or modify anything.

What's more about Ganache?

Ganache is a local Ethereum blockchain for development. It prints accounts, private keys, and transaction logs. Developers use it for smart contract testing.

The output above mimics Ganache CLI so you can test log ingestion or demo blockchain tooling without running an actual node.

Stack Overflow Questions

Popular questions and answers from Stack Overflow related to Ganache.

How to fork mainnet with Ganache?
Accepted Answer

Use ganache --fork https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/YOUR_KEY to fork Ethereum mainnet. Add --fork-block-number to fork at specific block. This allows testing against real contract state.

How to increase block gas limit in Ganache?
Accepted Answer

Use the --gasLimit flag: ganache --gasLimit 12000000. In ganache-cli config: gasLimit: 12000000. This helps when deploying large contracts.

How to persist Ganache data between restarts?
Accepted Answer

Use --database.dbPath flag: ganache --database.dbPath ./ganache-data. Data persists in that directory. Without this, blockchain state is lost on restart.

How to get test ETH in Ganache?
Accepted Answer

Ganache automatically creates 10 accounts with 1000 ETH each. Use ganache --wallet.defaultBalance 10000 to change default. Access accounts via web3.eth.getAccounts().

How to use Ganache with Hardhat?
Accepted Answer

In hardhat.config.js, add network: { ganache: { url: "http://127.0.0.1:8545" }}. Run Ganache first, then npx hardhat run --network ganache script.js. Or use Hardhat Network (built-in).

How to view transaction logs in Ganache?
Accepted Answer

Ganache GUI shows transactions in the Transactions tab. For CLI, use --verbose flag. Or query via web3: web3.eth.getTransactionReceipt(txHash).logs for event logs.

How to mine blocks manually in Ganache?
Accepted Answer

Use --miner.blockTime 0 for instant mining (default). For manual mining, use evm_mine RPC method: curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"evm_mine","params":[],"id":1}' localhost:8545.

How to impersonate accounts in Ganache?
Accepted Answer

Use --wallet.unlockedAccounts flag with address: ganache --wallet.unlockedAccounts 0xAddress. This allows sending transactions from any account without private key, useful for testing.

How to set specific timestamp in Ganache?
Accepted Answer

Use evm_setNextBlockTimestamp RPC method before mining a block. Or evm_increaseTime to advance time by seconds. Useful for testing time-dependent contracts.

How to connect MetaMask to Ganache?
Accepted Answer

In MetaMask, add network: RPC URL http://127.0.0.1:8545, Chain ID 1337 (or 5777 for older versions). Import Ganache accounts using private keys shown in Ganache output.
