# Blockchain Explorers A **Blockchain Explorer** is a website or tool that allows users to search and view the details of transactions that have taken place on a specific [blockchain](/glossary/definitions/decentralization/blockchains.md). By using a blockchain explorer, you can see information about specific transactions, such as the amount of cryptocurrency that was sent, the addresses involved in the transaction, and the time the transaction was processed. This can help you understand the details of a particular transaction and ensure that it was processed correctly. A blockchain explorer can also provide information about blocks on the blockchain, such as the number of transactions contained in each block and the specific time each block was added to the blockchain, which can help you understand the overall activity on the blockchain and get a sense of how quickly transactions are being processed. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
