Block Explorers

Overview

Block explorers are the Google for searching data on a blockchain. They give developers and users the ability to search information such as balances, contracts, tokens, transactions, and API services.

Native Astar Explorers

Subscan is the most widely used explorer in the Polkadot ecosystem. Subscan has indexed Astar Network in its entirety, and supports both Substrate and Ethereum APIs. BlockScout is the best explorer for developers who are building on Astar EVM, as it has all the features of EtherScan.

Under certain circumstances, the Polkadot.js apps portal may also be used to explore blocks.
