About The Cardano Blockchain Explorer

The Cardano blockchain explorer is a digital utility accessible through the internet that permits users to browse and look up data on the Cardano blockchain. It operates like a regular search engine, except it scours the Cardano blockchain instead of the internet.

Like any other block explorer, this tool enables individuals to access instant information about the blockchain, such as transactions and blocks. It also furnishes comprehensive details about each transaction, which include the addresses of the sender and recipient, the quantity of ADA cryptocurrency transferred, and the fees incurred.

The explorer can be used in several ways. Users can view the complete transaction history for a specific address. This feature can be used to track the movement of ADA, tokens, or NFTs across the network or to check an address’s balance. It is particularly useful for businesses or individuals who require a transparent and secure record of their transactions.

In addition, the explorer allows users to view the code of smart contracts on the Cardano blockchain. This feature benefits developers who want to build smart contracts on the Cardano network or businesses that require transparency in contract execution.

Cardano ADA currently trades at $0.7337 at the time of press, and it is up by 0.56% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinmarketCap.
