Solscan is a block explorer for the Solana blockchain. A block explorer is a search tool or an online blockchain browser for viewing blockchain and checking transactions. It provides information like the contents of an individual block, transaction history, and balance of wallet addresses on Solana blockchain. Solscan is not funded, opereated, or managed by the Solana Foundation but instead exists as an independent entity. Our commitment lies in enhancing blockchain transparency by meticulously indexing and making all Solana transactions searchable in the most transparent and accessible manner possible. Solscan is not a wallet service provider. Solscan does not store your private keys, nor do we have access or control over your wallet, funds, or any transactions on the Solana network. As a result, we cannot assist in reversing transactions or recovering lost funds. In addition to our explorer, we offer a suite of load-balanced, robust API services. These services can be leveraged to build decentralized applications or serve as data feeds for Solana blockchain information. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.solscan.io/browsing-the-site/solscan-knowledge-base/general/what-is-solscan.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
