A blockchain browser is a key tool for understanding and exploring decentralized networks. It allows users to view on-chain data in real time and track information such as transactions, accounts, contracts, and blocks. The TRON blockchain is transparent, and all on-chain data can be publicly accessed and verified. TRONSCAN (https://tronscan.org) is its most widely used blockchain browser. The explorer is applicable to TRON's Mainnet and two major testnets: Nile testnet and Shasta testnet, providing developers and users with a consistent on-chain data access experience.

What is TRONSCAN?

TRONSCAN provides a graphical interface for users to easily access real-time data and historical information on the chain, offering developers, users, investors, and validators comprehensive data analysis and on-chain activity views. TRONSCAN is a window to understand TRON network activities, allowing users to monitor the status and dynamics of the entire network without having to delve into the underlying code.

Overview of Core Features

TRONSCAN's functional design is both intuitive and feature-rich. The following section shows the main modules and uses of each module:

1. Block Browsing

Block Information: Query the information of the specified block, including the block height, time, block size, block status, block rewards, transaction number, transaction type, and resource consumption.

2. Transaction Query

Transaction Search: Allow users to search transactions by the transaction ID, sender address, or receiver address.
Transaction Details: Support viewing the transaction hash, transaction amount, transaction status, time, and fee composition.

3. Account information

Account Balance and Resources: Users can view an address's TRX balance, held tokens, collateral assets, Energy and Bandwidth resources, and resource delegation relationships.
Transaction History: All historical transactions under the account, including the initiation time and transaction type.
Contract Account Information: Support viewing the contract code, deployment address, call record, and other detailed information.

4. Smart contracts

Contract Code Viewing: Supports viewing of the source code, ABI interface, and contract call history of smart contracts.
Contract Verification: Contract developers can upload source code and compilation results for users to verify the authenticity of the code.

5. Token browsing

Display Issued Tokens: Lists all issued TRC-10, TRC-20, TRC-721, and TRC-1155 tokens, including the token name, number of holders, issuance volume, and token price.
Popular Token List: Displays tokens with a high market value or trading volume.

6. Data charts

Data Charts: Provides a variety of visual charts such as transaction trends, on-chain activities, and account growth to facilitate data analysis and market insights.

7. Super Representatives

Super Representative Voting: Displays the current list of Super Representatives (SRs), number of votes, and rate of return.

8. On-chain parameters

Parameter Viewing: Displays various parameters currently in effect on the chain, including the resource unit price, resource supply, and block rewards.
Voting Viewing: Records the voting history of on-chain proposals to reflect the on-chain governance process.

9. Advanced data analysis

TRONSCAN API: Allows developers to access raw data on the TRON blockchain on demand, and conduct more complex and flexible data analysis and integrated development, such as building their own on-chain data panel, risk control system, account monitoring tool, or token analysis dashboard, and even integrating data into third-party services or DApps.

Other Features

In addition to regular on-chain data, TRONSCAN has also implemented the following enhancements:

Wallet Access: Allows users to connect to TRON wallets such as TronLink and trade or vote directly in the browser.
Contract Call Simulation: Developers can test or review the calling process of smart contracts.
Token Issuance Tool: Users can issue TRC-10 or TRC-20 tokens directly on TRONSCAN.

Significance of Block Browsers

TRONSCAN is an indispensable part of the TRON network. It is not only a guarantee of open and transparent information, but also a must-have tool for users and developers to gain a deeper understanding of TRON. Whether it is to view personal accounts, verify the authenticity of transactions, analyze token information, or explore smart contracts, TRONSCAN provides a simple and comprehensive solution.

As part of the blockchain infrastructure, TRONSCAN plays a vital role in improving user experience, enhancing developer toolchains, and ensuring the verifiability of on-chain activities.
