[ Blockchain, Decentralization, Block Explorer ] - Steemit Crypto Academy Season 5 : Homework Post For Task 4

(3) What is a block explorer? And what is its purpose and use? Search for different cryptocurrency block explorers and list them below. At least five different crypyo currencies. Also explore the transaction of a crypto coin on block explorer and explain with the help of screenshot.

• What is a block explorer ?

Block explorer is a tool or web that we can use to find out information about transactions using cryptocurrencies in any blockchain including the Steem blockchain which is often used by Steemit users today.

Block Explorer also makes it very easy for users to view transaction details, balances, and so on. So that we can find out a transaction that occurs in great detail by only using tools or tools from each block explorer.

As we know that Blockchain explorer is also very transparent and decentralized, because it gives access to all transaction data to everyone who wants to know the transaction history of someone who has just made a transaction using any Cryptocurrency.

So that this is also one of the differences between cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies, because every transaction using Cryptocurrency can be explored in its transaction history in each Blockchain Explorer respectively. Meanwhile, transactions using Fiat currency will not be published in any browser.

• And what is its purpose and use ?

The purpose and use of Block Explorer is of course to make it easier for blockchain users to view the history of a transaction that has occurred in very detail and detail.

So that we can see who made transactions and who received transactions, along with details of the sender and recipient addresses and the number of transactions they sent.

Another use of Block Explorer is that when we make the wrong transaction, such as entering the wrong memo when making a deposit in a Crypto Marketplace, we can show proof of the transaction from the block Explorer to the crypto marketplace so that they believe we entered the wrong memo when making a deposit. in their marketplace.

Here are some other purposes and uses of Block explorer :

1.) To view the Verification of transaction status, sender address, recipient address, confirmation number and more.
2.) To view the transaction time.
3.) To view the transaction fee in a transaction.
4.) To view the transaction Hash of a transaction.
5.) To view the transaction history of the Wallet address and also the transaction number.
6.) And many other uses.

• Also explore the transaction of a crypto coin on block explorer and explain with the help of screenshot.

This time I want to explore one of my transactions using Tron or TRX on one of Tron's Block Explorers, namely Tronscan.com.

we only need to go to Tronscan.com to see the details of one of the transactions that we make using Tron or TRX. Then we just paste the trx address or transaction hash to see the transaction details on the Tronscan.com.

(1). The first stage I did a search using the TRX address in the search menu at Tronscan.com as below :

(2). Then several menu options will appear, and I choose the transaction menu. And to see one of the transactions that I made, I only need to click on one of the transaction Hashes in the transaction menu as below :

(3). Then the details of one of the transactions that we clicked on will appear. All information about the transactions that we made will be displayed as below :

The following is the detailed information of the transaction that I did :

Block	information
Hash Transaction	0e46565f588de7fbdb20fa73e8e568c3d69180f558e82dfaa40c83de84c05e49
Block Number	36967452
Timestamp	2022-01-06 09:53:45 ( Local )

Nos of Confirmations	Confirmed by over 200 blocks

That's one example of a Tron transaction that I explored to complete the answer to the question posed by the professor.
