Browse blocks
The block explorer home screen, by default, displays the 10 most recent blocks in the chain. View all blocks for a more complete overview of recent blocks, or click on a specific block number for details on that block. The blocks page is also accessible via the top menu.
View all blocks
You can click on a block number to see all the details of that specific block. If you want to browse more blocks, click the Blocks section of the navigation menu. Use the pagination to navigate to the next page.
However, if you have already left the homepage, you can always search for any block by typing in the block number.
There are two main sections inside a block:
- The Block Header
- This shows brief information about this specific block, as well as a link to the previous block in the chain.
- Transactions
- Consists of lists of all the transactions that were included in this block.
