### What is Solscan? Solscan is the leading block explorer for the Solana ecosystem. It's far more than a way to look up a transaction, account, or token — Solscan turns raw on-chain data into something you can actually read and act on. Every action on Solana is recorded on-chain as raw, encoded data. Solscan indexes and decodes that data, then presents it as human-readable transactions, labeled accounts, token metrics, DeFi activity, and market insights. Whether you're verifying a transfer, researching a token before you trade, tracing where funds came from, or building an application on Solana, Solscan gives you the data and the context to make sense of it. Solscan serves a wide range of users across the ecosystem: traders and investors hunting for opportunities, analysts and compliance teams tracing on-chain flows, and developers building the next generation of Solana apps. *** ### What Solscan offers #### Explore the chain Look up and understand any account, transaction, token, NFT, block, or program — with decoded actions, not raw bytes. Search by address, signature, or token to get a complete, readable view of on-chain state. #### Track and analyze Follow transactions, monitor account balances and token holdings, trace funding sources, and watch DeFi activity across the ecosystem. Dashboards for analytics, DeFi, and NFTs surface the trends and numbers behind the chain. #### Research before you trade Check a token's holders, supply, authorities, liquidity, and price history to evaluate risk and opportunity before committing. Solscan is built to help you see what an asset really is, not just its ticker. #### Manage your experience Create a Solscan account to add personal labels, build watchlists, set up notifications, and export reports — tools that make ongoing monitoring and record-keeping far easier. #### Build on Solscan Access the same indexed, decoded data programmatically through the Solscan Pro API, the Solscan MCP server for AI agents, and the Solscan CLI for the terminal. *** ### About this documentation This documentation helps users and developers get the most out of everything Solscan offers.
