There is a range of services in the crypto sphere that allow you to monitor the market's state, easily access data on specific transactions, analyze the actions of major players, and find other information about the network. This keeps crypto transactions transparent and makes it easier to work with the blockchain.
One such service for the TRON ecosystem is the TronScan explorer. In this article, we explain its features and how to use it.
Blockchain Explorer: What Is It?
Cryptocurrency is based on transparency: blockchain transactions can be viewed by all participants of the network. This allows you to protect against fraud and preserve the decentralized nature of the market.
Independently checking the status of a transaction or accessing other information requires technical skills that not all users have. Special services, blockchain explorers, help make data search easier and more convenient.
Users can search by transaction hash (identifier), recipient/sender address, token, and other data to find a specific transaction. In addition, the explorer allows users to learn about the general characteristics of the network, statistics, and other information that will help them make further decisions about working with cryptocurrencies.
