# Block Explorer

Block explorer is a tool used to view and navigate through the contents of a blockchain. Block explorer provides valuable insights into the transactions, addresses, and overall state of the blockchain network.

Use Spydra's block explorer feature to:

1. View Transactions: Explore and search for specific transactions by its hash. You can examine transaction details and owner details.
2. View Blocks: Explore and search for specific block by a block's number. You can examine number of transaction in the block and other details.
3. Monitor Network Stats: Keep track of network statistics, including the total number of transactions, the block height, and the overall health and performance of the blockchain network.
