Use the Block Explorer to test and validate your dapp deployment

Search for blockchain data​

You can utilize the search bar to locate transactions, accounts, blocks, providers, proposals, or tokens by entering relevant identifiers such as transaction hashes, addresses, blockchain names, or proposal IDs.

Explore the Block Explorer dashboard​

The explorer’s interface consists of multiple sections:
