What are blockchain explorers? What can it be used for?

The blockchain browser refers to a tool that provides users with the ability to browse and query all information on the blockchain. There are similarities and differences between blockchain browsers and the two aforementioned browsers. Similarly, they can all be used to search for the information we want. The difference lies in that the search object of X song and X degree is the entire Internet, while the blockchain browser is oriented to the data on the blockchain.

The so-called blockchain browser refers to a tool that provides users with the ability to browse and query all information on the blockchain. Here, users at least include developers, coin holders, DApp users, miners, regulators, people interested in the blockchain, and so on. This is often related to the stage in which the blockchain is located. Taking the public chain as an example, during the testing phase of the blockchain browser, the main users are developers; After being connected to the main network on the public chain, coin holders, DApp users, miners, and others gradually need to use blockchain; As the influence of the public chain grows, regulatory and curious users of blockchain will also use this product.

As the world's largest all-currency blockchain data platform, Tokenview supports over 100 mainstream public chains and over 100000 types of smart contract data queries, covering almost all on-chain data in the current blockchain field, and can query information such as transactions, addresses, and blocks. Let's take Tokenview as an example to take a look.

·Each transaction on the chain mainly involves the transaction addresses of both parties, and these transaction data will be packaged to generate data blocks. Users can search on the Tokenview homepage by address, transaction hash, or blockchain height.

·At the bottom of the homepage, there are over 100 blockchain browser entrances, where users can see specific data on mainstream public chains, including currency prices, 24-hour price fluctuations, and the latest blockbuster information (note: The Bitcoin protocol stipulates that a block will be generated every 10 minutes across the network. After completing the calculation task and discovering a new block, miners will receive a reward of about 12.5 Bitcoins. Discovering a new block is also known as a blockbuster), the latest blockbuster time Total transaction amount, and other information.

Each public chain supported by Tokenview has its specific browser, for example, the Bitcoin blockchain browser can only query Bitcoin-related block information, while the Ethereum blockchain browser can only query Ethereum-related block information. Taking BTC as an example, after clicking on a main chain, you can see more detailed information, including the computing power of miners across the entire network, the number of transactions on the 24-hour chain, mining difficulty, the number of coin holding addresses, and the number of daily transactions.
