You might have heard terms like "Etherscan" and "Arbiscan" tossed around, here is a simple guide to pick it up.
What is a block explorer?
A blockchain explorer is a powerful tool that allows users to view and interact with data stored on a blockchain network. Before we dive into Arbiscan, let's introduce the concept of "block explorer".
Smart contracts contain extensive data, and a block explorer allows users to access it. You can search for a specific smart contract and find details, such as the crypto wallet responsible for deploying it. Additionally, a block explorer provides information about the contract's code, deployment date, time, block height, and total token supply. It also lists token holders and their respective shares, along with the contract's transaction history and associated wallet details. Key Features of Blockchain Explorers includes:
Transaction Verification: Users can track the progress of transactions and confirm their addition to the blockchain.
Address Exploration: Individuals can explore the transaction history of specific wallet addresses.
Block Monitoring: Explorers display newly mined blocks and provide details about their contents.
Data Analysis: Researchers and analysts can study blockchain activity patterns and trends.
What is Etherscan and Arbiscan?
Etherscan is a popular blockchain explorer specifically designed for the Ethereum network. It allows users to explore Ethereum transactions, smart contracts, addresses, and token information.With Etherscan, you can:
