【NeoLine Talk】Are you a skilled user of the blockchain browser？

In the previous article on solving the problem of unsuccessful transmission, we mentioned that if you have not received the token for a long time, you can check the progress of the transmission on a blockchain browser such as NeoTube. So, what is a blockchain browser, and what is its purpose?

Today is NeoLine Talk, let us talk about the blockchain browser.

Everyone is familiar with the term “browser”, and most of the browsers we touch are as follows:

The blockchain browser is a channel to information on the blockchain network, and its “look” is very different from the general browser (Take NeoTube as an example)

What is a blockchain browser?

We all know that the blockchain is composed of blocks, which is essentially a distributed ledger, and the accounts are recorded in these blocks. Because the blockchain is open and transparent, it needs a medium that allows all users, such as regulators, developers, and traders, to see the information stored on the block.

The blockchain browser is this medium and tool for querying and browsing information on the blockchain network.

It records in detail the confirmation process of each block and the process of generating and distributing digital currency, and completely records the circulation of digital currency between each block. It can more fully and publicly disclose the information such as the amount, increment, and turnover rate of digital currency.

On the blockchain browser, we can view the information we want to obtain by searching for addresses, transaction hashes, and smart contract addresses.

Information that can be queried on the blockchain browser

Through the blockchain browser, we can find the following information:

1. Chain information, including block height, market value, token price, computing power, 24h transaction amount, address, etc.

2. Block and transaction information, you can find the packaging time, handling fee, specific transaction data of a block, etc.

3. Address, account balance, and historical transaction information.

4. Information about smart contracts.

How to use the blockchain browser

Most of the blockchain browsers are very “smart”, you only need to enter the wallet address, transaction ID, block hash or block height and other information you know, and you can directly query, and the operation is very simple.

For the average user, the most commonly used query methods are as follows:

1. Check balances and historical transactions

If you want to know the wallet balance and historical transaction records of an address, you can enter the wallet address in the search box to query.

2. Check the transfer progress

If there is a delay in arriving after the transfer, or if the two parties have differences in the transaction, you can enter either party’s address or transaction ID in the blockchain browser to query the transaction progress, and if necessary, it can be presented as evidence.

3. Consistency of information

Now many articles that give investment opinions and suggestions will include screenshots showing information such as the amount of his funds. If he provides the wallet address, you can enter the wallet address provided by him through the block browser to check whether it is consistent with the published one, to better distinguish the authenticity.

4. Tracking large account holders

For experienced players, you can track large positions on the blockchain browser to help you better understand the flow of funds and provide a basis for analyzing the price trend.

The above is the entire content of the seventh issue of NeoLine Talk. I hope this article will give you a deeper understanding of the blockchain browser and let it play a more important role in your future “blockchain life”.
