Overview
Avalanche Explorer is a public blockchain explorer for the Avalanche network. It allows users to search for addresses, view the latest blocks, investigate transaction details, inspect smart contracts and their verified source code, and track token balances and transfers. Whether you're a developer, validator, trader or curious user, the explorer provides transparent, human-readable views of on-chain activity.
Key Features
Block Browser
See recent blocks, block height, timestamp, validator, number of transactions and gas metrics. Use the block view to audit confirmations and historical state.
Transaction Details
Inspect transaction hash, status, gas used, fees, input data and internal traces. Easily copy raw hex or view decoded input if the contract is verified.
Address Pages
Lookup any address to view balances across AVAX and tokens, recent transactions, and ERC‑20/ERC‑721 token holdings.
Token & Contract Explorer
Discover tokens, view holders, token transfers and contract source code. Verified contracts often include ABI and read/write interfaces for quick interaction.
How to Use
- Enter a block number, transaction hash, address, token symbol or contract address into the main search bar.
- From the result page, review metadata: for transactions check
status,nonce, gas and logs; for addresses review balances and recent activity. - Use the contract tab to read state variables or call view functions. Use the token page to inspect distribution and recent transfers.
Useful Tips
- If a transaction is pending, refresh the page or use the hash to track confirmations — pending transactions will show
0confirmations until mined. - Search by ENS-like names or human-readable aliases if supported by the explorer.
- Use the verified contract source to decode calldata — this helps identify what a transaction actually executed.
Developer Tools
Many explorers expose APIs or CSV export for programmatic access. Developers can integrate with explorer endpoints to fetch tx history, token transfers, block data, and more. Also consider using Avalanche official RPC endpoints alongside the explorer when building dapps.
Troubleshooting
- Transaction not found: Ensure you copied the full transaction hash. If recently submitted, it may still be propagating across the network.
- Incorrect balances: Token balances shown by the explorer reflect on-chain state; if your wallet UI differs, resync or check the network configuration.
