What is Solscan?
Solscan is a blockchain explorer built for the Solana ecosystem. It provides users with an easy way to view onchain activities on Solana wallets, token balances, transfers and general program interactions. Like Etherscan on Ethereum, Solscan has become one of the most used tools on Solana for traders, developers and regular users who want to understand what is happening on the blockchain.

Features and Benefits
Solscan, with its beautiful interface, comes with many features that enrich the experience of any user who wants to analyze data. Some of the following items highlight the ways Solscan may be used:
Transaction Tracking
Users can look up any Solana transaction by entering its signature (This can be copied from the transaction history of any dapp used on Solana). Solscan displays detailed information such as block number, transaction status, fees paid, and accounts involved in the specific transaction.

In the transaction above, the details accompanying the transaction are displayed. Information such as the timestamp of a transaction, the signer, and the block which contains all the transactions and states during a specific time are displayed through the Transaction Details page. The summary mode shows the movement of the transaction from one account to another as some SOL was exchanged for USDC.
Wallet Explorer
By pasting a wallet address, users can view balances, token holdings, and complete transaction history in the wallet. This is useful for portfolio tracking or for monitoring the treasury balance of a project of interest.

In the overview section, the balance of SOL and the worth in USD is displayed. Directly underneath is the list of the token balance in the wallet and what they are worth.

Still under the wallet explorer feature, Solscan provides a graph display of the value of the tokens in a wallet and the daily inflow and outflow of transfers performed on the wallet. Users can also view NFT metadata, circulating supply, holder distribution, and marketplace activity.
Program Insights
Developers can use Solscan to track interactions with Solana programs. It helps with debugging, auditing, or the monitoring of dApps in the Solana ecosystem.

Chain Analytics Dashboard
Solscan offers charts and stats on network performance, validator activity, and DeFi protocols. It gives the user a view of Solana’s health in real-time.

The analytics page provides statistics such as the number of transactions per second on Solana, network fees earned, and the number of validators actively running the Solana network.
