Cardano tracking tools

Since Cardano is a public blockchain ledger, it is possible to easily track all recent transactions, block details, and epoch data using different tools.

Exploring transactions and blocks #

Cardano Explorer

Cardano Explorer is a user-oriented tool that fetches data from the main database and reflects it in a straightforward and convenient web interface.

The Explorer shows the latest epoch details. You can click the latest epoch and see:

• a number of blocks produced during this epoch
• time the epoch started
• time of last produced block
• number of processed transactions
• total output in ada

By choosing a specific block, you can explore it in more detail to see its ID, size, epoch and block details, number of included transactions and confirmations:

You can also search for specific epochs, transactions or blocks by pasting their IDs in the search field.

Here is a list of other explorers to consider:

• AdaEx
• Adapools
• AdaStat
• Adatools
• Cardanoscan

Exploring assets #

Cardano supports multi-asset creation and management. To see a list of created assets and tokens, you can use these tools:

• Adapools
• AdaStat (tokens)
• Adatools (tokens)
• Cardano Assets
• Cardanoscan (tokens)
• Pool.pm (tokens)
• Adapools (tokens)

Exploring stake pools #

To find a list of all registered stake pools, their tickers, pool names, and IDs, you can use these tools:

• Adapools
• ADAtainment
• Adatools (pools)
• Cardano PoolTool
• Cardanoscan (pools)
• Pool.pm (pools)
• POOLSTATS

Note: IOHK has developed a stake pool metadata aggregation server (SMASH) to provide the community with a list of verified stake pools with valid metadata. Smash is integrated with the Daedalus wallet, and users can see a list of valid stake pools in the delegation center tab.
