Explorer user guide
You will need
- The explorer URL for your network (public testnet or your operator’s explorer)
Steps
1) Look up a transaction
- Paste a tx hash (
0x...) into the search bar (or open/tx/<txHash>). - Check:
- receipt status (
pending/selected/applied/dropped) - applied cycle (if present)
- receipt status (
2) Look up an address
- Paste an address into search (explorer may support either
pubkey32oraddress20views depending on the build).
3) Browse blocks (cycles)
Important: in Catalyst, “blocks” map to cycles, and some cycles produce no block/LSU.
You may see “No block produced” for certain cycle numbers. This is expected.
Verify
- A recent applied tx should appear after indexing catches up.
Troubleshooting
- If a tx is missing, the explorer/indexer may be behind. Verify via RPC directly:
