Explorer Onboarding Guide

URL: xdcscan.io

Step 1 — Open the Explorer

Navigate to xdcscan.io. The homepage shows live network activity: the latest blocks, the latest transactions, and key chain statistics.

No account is needed — everything on the explorer is public and free to browse.

Step 2 — Search

The search bar at the top of the page is the main way to navigate. It accepts:

• Transaction hash — 0x... (64 hex characters)
• Block number — e.g. 80000000
• Address — any wallet or contract address
• Token name or symbol — find tokens by name

Tip: search works across supported networks — XDC, EVS, Wanchain, and Velas.

Step 3 — Read a Transaction

Open any transaction. The transaction page gives you three layers of detail:

Summary

• Status — success or failure, plus the confirming block
• From / To — sender and recipient
• Value & Fee — amount transferred and gas paid

AI-Powered Decoding

A plain-language explanation of what the transaction did — transfers, swaps, contract calls — decoded against verified contract ABIs.

Raw Details

• Input data, logs, and events for deep inspection

Step 4 — Explore an Address

Click any address to open its page:

• Balance — native token balance
• Token Holdings — tokens and NFTs held by the address
• Transactions — complete history involving the address
• Contract — for verified contracts, source code and read/write methods

Step 5 — Interact with a Verified Contract

For verified contracts, the Contract tab lets you:

1. Read — call view/pure methods and see results instantly (no transaction needed)
2. Write — connect a wallet and execute state-changing methods
3. Review source — read the verified Solidity source and ABI

Unverified contracts show raw bytecode only. Verifying a contract unlocks decoding and interaction — see the developers section.

Step 6 — Use the API

Everything the UI shows is also available programmatically:

curl https://xdcscan.io/api/v2/stats

Interactive documentation for every endpoint: xdcscan.io/api-docs. No API key required to start.

Tips

• Start from the search bar — it’s the fastest path to any entity on the chain
• Trust the AI summary first, then dig into raw logs when you need proof
• Token pages show holders, transfers, and contract details in one place
