Minitel
Minitel is an external transaction decoding system developed by Kiln that provides enhanced visibility before transaction approval.
minitel.app is the enhanced decoding experience of minitel.wtf. Currently, minitel.app only supports Solana and Ethereum. Once minitel.app covers all chains supported by minitel.wtf, the latter will be deprecated.
The Kiln-hosted version offers dedicated Minitel instances for each blockchain (sol.minitel.app, eth.minitel.app, etc.) with easy navigation between these chain-specific instances.
Each chain-specific Minitel parses and decodes serialized transactions, providing clearer visibility by displaying transaction details in a human-readable format. The decoded data includes warnings for actions requiring special attention—such as modifying stake account authority.
In addition to presenting decoded transactions in JSON format, Minitel provides a summary of the transaction's actions. The format varies by blockchain to accommodate each chain's unique characteristics; for SOL, it shows an overview of each instruction.
To help users understand decoded transactions, Minitel offers an interactive decode playbook. The playbook's sample mode displays side-by-side examples of typical flows with clear, step-by-step breakdowns of each instruction—making it easier to verify transactions before signing. For each blockchain, it includes examples of supported operations (e.g., Solana: stake, deactivate, withdraw, merge, split).
