Block explorer
Explore the functionality of Block Explorer, a comprehensive tool for monitoring activities on your ZKsync chain.
The Block Explorer is a tool designed to provide comprehensive insights into all activities occurring on a ZKsync chain. This tool is especially useful for users and developers who need to monitor or interact with the blockchain. Block Explorer consists of three main components:
- Block Explorer Worker: This indexer service manages ZKsync chain data. Its main role is to collect data from the blockchain in real time, process this data, and populate a database that supports the API.
- Block Explorer API: This component offers an HTTP API to access structured data from the ZKsync chain. It retrieves data from the database maintained by the Block Explorer Worker.
- Block Explorer App: This is the user interface that enables users and developers to navigate and examine transactions, blocks, batches, contracts, tokens, and other elements within the ZKsync chain.
