Leading Blockchain Explorers & the Importance of Them

Introduction to the Leading Blockchain Explorers

In 2018, TON raised 1.7 billion USD for its ICO. First, the Telegram team released a blockchain explorer (that was barely there) for testing, which was later replaced for a much more complete one. Then, APIs for developers to interface with the blockchain was released with notes that the testnet was ‘highly unstable.’ The SEC has stopped the planned launch after an investigation is underway to prove that Telegram’s ICO was really a security offering. While Telegram suffers through a delayed launch and an investigation, Dash updated their Dash Explorer on January 7th to improve API. Marketing Manager, Michael Seitz, commented that the old API is “outdated and has limited functionality in comparison to the new and improved API, Insight.” While some blockchain projects seemto never take off, others are always working to improve their services and benefits. Some of these offered services including blockchain explorers that work as the google of cryptocurrencies.

Blockchain explorers are an essential tool for blockchain users and cryptocurrency traders. These platforms are just as important to the blockchain as wallets and exchanges are. In short, most blockchain explorers look like a search engine (e.g. Google Chrome) because in essence that is what they are. Trustworthy blockchain explorers help users corroborate and follow their transactions in the blockchain (as long as the blockchain used is public). Most blockchain services like Stellar, blockchain.com, CoinMarketCap, etc. offer a blockchain explorer interface for their clients, so they can watch live the progression of their transactions in the blockchain. Most blockchain explorers share the same elements, such as a search bar where you can copy an address, hash number, or transaction number and also a live feed of the latest blocks added to the chain. To use a blockchain explorer, first, make sure you are in the correct one. Remember that there are different blockchains and you need to use a platform that is compatible with the specific blockchain where your transactions were made.
