# PND Blockchain Explorer

## Block explorers

A block explorer is a search engine for the blockchain. Paste in a transaction ID, an address, or a block height, and you can see exactly what happened on-chain — when, how much, and to whom.

Two explorers track the Pandacoin (PND) network. They show the same data — the blockchain itself — but present it differently. Pick whichever you like.

### The explorers

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th><th data-hidden data-card-target data-type="content-ref"></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>🐼 <strong>Pandacoin Explorer</strong></td><td>The official community explorer. Built on eIquidus. Includes rich list, market data, and network stats.</td><td><a href="https://explorer.thepandacoin.net/">https://explorer.thepandacoin.net/</a></td></tr><tr><td>🔗 <strong>Cryptoid (Chainz)</strong></td><td>Third-party multi-coin explorer.

### Common uses

#### "Did my transaction go through?"

1. Copy the transaction ID from your wallet's transaction history.
2. Paste it into either explorer's search box.
3. If the explorer finds it, the transaction is broadcast to the network. **Confirmations** count up as new blocks are mined on top of it. Most exchanges treat 6+ confirmations as final.

If the explorer can't find your txid at all, your transaction may not have propagated — try restarting your wallet and re-broadcasting.

#### "Where did my coins go?"

Search your wallet address. You'll see every transaction in and out, with the counterparty addresses. Click any txid to dig into the details.

#### "Is this address legit?"

Search the address. An exchange deposit address will usually have many incoming transactions and a high balance. A scam address is often empty or has only test-amount activity.

### API access

Both explorers expose APIs for developers building wallets, integrations, or analytics:

* **Official explorer** (eIquidus): see endpoints at [explorer.thepandacoin.net](https://explorer.thepandacoin.net/) — supports JSON queries for blocks, transactions, addresses, supply, and rich list.
* **Cryptoid**: documented multi-coin API at [chainz.cryptoid.info/api.dws](https://chainz.cryptoid.info/api.dws) — useful for ticker price, balance lookups, and tx history.

### A note on privacy

Block explorers are **public**. Anyone with your wallet address can see every transaction tied to it. If privacy matters to you:

* Don't share your main address publicly.
* Use a fresh receive address for each incoming payment (the desktop wallet generates these automatically).
* Treat your address like a bank account number, not a username.

### Want to run your own explorer?

The official explorer is open-source ([eIquidus](https://github.com/team-exor/eiquidus)) and the Pandacoin daemon exposes the RPC interface it needs. If you want to mirror the explorer for redundancy, ask in [Telegram](https://t.me/pandacoin) — the team can point you at the right config.
