DigiExplorer, also known as a blockchain explorer for #DigiByte, is a web-based tool or interface that allows users to view and analyze detailed information about the $DGB blockchain. Its primary purpose is to provide transparency, accessibility, and usability for interacting with the blockchain’s public ledger.
Purposes of a DigiByte Explorer
Transaction Tracking
- Enables users to search and view details of DigiByte transactions, including transaction IDs, sender/receiver addresses, amounts, fees, and confirmation status.
- Helps verify whether a payment has been sent, received, or confirmed on the blockchain.
Block Information
- Displays data about individual blocks, such as block height, timestamp, miner, size, and the transactions included.
- Shows which mining algorithm (e.g., Scrypt, SHA256, Odocrypt) mined each block, reflecting DigiByte’s MultiAlgo structure.
Address Lookup
- Allows users to check the balance and transaction history of specific DigiByte wallet addresses.
- Useful for auditing or monitoring funds without needing to run a full node.
Network Statistics
- Provides real-time insights into the blockchain’s health, including current block height, hash rate distribution across algorithms, difficulty levels (adjusted by MultiShield), and total DGB supply.
- Helps miners and developers assess network performance and security.
DigiAssets Exploration
Some explorers support viewing DigiAssets (digital assets or tokens created on DigiByte’s blockchain), including metadata, issuance details, and transfer history.
Developer Support
- Offers APIs for developers to integrate blockchain data into applications, wallets, or services.
- Facilitates building tools like payment processors or analytics platforms.
Transparency and Trust
- Ensures all blockchain data is publicly accessible, reinforcing DigiByte’s decentralized and permissionless ethos.
- Allows anyone to independently verify transactions, blocks, or network activity without relying on intermediaries.
