It is an endless digital magazine with information on various exchange operations other than the cryptocurrency. The blocks content should be analyzed. They include approved transactions awaiting confirmation, crypto coins and tokens name and place, and sender and recipient addresses. It is quite problematic to carry out such an analysis without additional services.

Blockchain explorer

A blockchain explorer is a website or mobile application that collects and provides technical information about blockchains, view wallet addresses, network hash rates, transaction data, and other necessary information.

• Blockexplorer
• Etherchain
• Live blockcypher
• Etherscan
Getblock

The main Blockchain Explorer’s task is to use nodes to interact with the network and retrieve all blockchain data and store it in easily searchable database tables. Explorer collects recent transactions and blocks, thus offering the user a user-friendly interface for presenting blockchain data. It searches and provides the necessary information on the network’s state in real-time.

Search engines researchers complement the limited understanding of the crypto wallet blockchain by providing an effective service for the crypto-coin ecosystem. A digital wallet contains information only about its addresses and transactions.

What information can be obtained from the Blockchain Explorer?

  • Existing blockchain blocks
    
  • Any transaction in any existing block details
    
  • Any public crypto-address history
    
  • Find out the address of sending and receiving the specific token
  • Mempool status with the total number of unconfirmed transactions per day
  • The number of abandoned blocks that are not tied to the blockchain
  • Mining pools blocks
  • The first block of the blockchain.

How does blockchain explorer work?

Each transaction gets its own hash (personal id number for each operation). For example, if you want to track your latest transaction, you need to copy the received transaction hash and paste it into the block explorer’s search bar. You’ll get the unconfirmed transaction immediately. And after a while, after collecting the necessary number of votes, will change to successful transaction status. For faster block approval you can set a higher commission.

You can check the accuracy of the specified address for the transaction using the transaction ID, track the transfer’s time and status of the (stuck, rejected, successfully completed).

The blockchain explorer will display the following information based on the public key or the digital wallet’s address:

• Balance
• The number of transactions with the number of their confirmations and the cost of each
• How much money has been spent

You have to analyze the indicators of the coin’s hash to check whether it’s new. Difficult simultaneous growth is a good sign of miners' interest. You can track the distribution of the cryptocurrency by cryptocurrency exchanges and large private holders. Respond in time if the mining pool of interest is more than 51%.
In addition to crypto coins, some blockchain conductors are able to track smart contracts while studying ICO.

Blockchain conductors are becoming a useful tool for cryptocurrency owners. It helps to get instant information about all transactions, to conduct a quick transaction analysis, and to assess the prospects and demand for new coins.
