The world of crypto just got a lot easier to navigate
Today we’re introducing a brand new Blockchain.com Explorer that features the most important information on the crypto ecosystem–all in one place.
Before diving into what’s new, it’s worth taking a step back and revisiting how we got here.
The History of the Blockchain.com Explorer
When we first introduced the Blockchain.com Explorer back in 2011, our goal was simple–provide an easy way to understand what’s happening in the crypto ecosystem, starting with Bitcoin.
Our original Bitcoin Explorer solved this by surfacing information on mined blocks, transactions, and key statistics from the Bitcoin blockchain. It quickly became one of the most visited sites in crypto and a go-to source for analysts, traders, and enthusiasts alike.
Over the years, the crypto landscape has expanded significantly. And, with it, so has our offering.
With the rise of new protocols and assets, we added new Explorers to support the growing ecosystem. This included the Ethereum Explorer (introduced in 2018) and Bitcoin Cash Explorer (introduced in 2019).
And as new use cases emerged, we continued to add more data and insights. In 2021, we introduced the NFT and DeFi Explorers to help users better understand and participate in these burgeoning ecosystems.
With all this information now available at your fingertips (and certainly more to come), it was incredibly important for us to revisit our original goal and ensure we’re continuing to provide the easiest and most intuitive experience possible.
