Etherscan

Etherscan is a blockchain explorer for the Ethereum network, providing users with an easy way to read and analyze the Ethereum blockchain.

What is Etherscan?

Etherscan is a blockchain explorer for the Ethereum blockchain. It allows users to explore transactions, addresses, blocks, tokens, smart contracts, and other information on the Ethereum network.

How does Etherscan work?

Etherscan works by retrieving data from the Ethereum blockchain in real-time, maintaining an organized data record, and presenting this data to users. It uses RPC (Remote Procedure Call) to communicate with Ethereum nodes (the servers that store blockchain data) through RPC endpoints (virtual addresses).

What is Etherscan used for?

  1. Explore wallet addresses: Users can look up wallet addresses to check their holdings of ETH, ERC-20 tokens, and NFTs (ERC-721 tokens), as well as view transaction history, wallet analytics, and charts.
  2. View transactions and blocks: Etherscan provides data on Ether (ETH) price, market capitalization, gas prices, transaction speed, network upgrades, and a comprehensive record of all Ethereum blocks and transactions.

View smart contracts: Users can explore smart contract details, including the deploying wallet, code, deployment details, token holders, transaction history, and associated wallets.
