Etherscan
Crypto · Block Explorers
The definitive Ethereum explorer for transactions, smart contracts, tokens, and gas tracking.
Overview
Etherscan is the definitive block explorer for Ethereum, letting anyone inspect transactions, addresses, smart contracts and tokens on the network. If something happens on Ethereum, Etherscan is where you verify it.
Paste in a transaction hash to confirm it succeeded, look up any wallet's balance and full history, read or interact with verified contract code, follow token transfers, and watch gas prices in real time. It's essential for everything from confirming a withdrawal landed to researching who holds a token.

Frequently asked questions
Is Etherscan free?
Yes. Browsing transactions, addresses, contracts and tokens is free, and there's a developer API with free and paid tiers.
Does Etherscan work for other blockchains?
Etherscan covers Ethereum. Sister explorers run the same way for other chains — for example BscScan, Polygonscan and Arbiscan.
Can I see who owns a wallet on Etherscan?
No — addresses are pseudonymous. You can see balances, activity and sometimes public labels, but not a real-world identity.
