Block Explorer
Block explorer is a program or website that enables users to examine and follow transactions on a blockchain network. It offers users a graphical user interface (GUI) to search for certain transaction data, view blocks, and travel across the blockchain.
Block explorers show details about the most recent blocks that have been added to the blockchain, such as the block number, timestamp, and the quantity of transactions that make up the block. The sender and recipient addresses, transaction amount, and transaction fees are also visible to users when viewing specific transactions.
