Overview

As mentioned earlier, all blockchain information is available for anyone to view at any time. Where can we view this? On blockchain explorers.

Each chain has its own version of these. See the list below for some examples.

Navigating around them does vary slightly from site to site but the underlying concepts are the same.

Your Wallet

To go direct to your wallet from MetaMask click the 3 dot menu at the top right and click "View Account in explorer". Ensure you are on the wallet you want to view and on the correct network as it will divert you to the corresponding site. On the app, tap the menu and click on "View on XXX" where XXX will be the name of the actual explorer. (it will have a picture of an eye next to it).

Here you can view all the transactions that have ever existed in your wallet and the current holdings of your wallet. Have a click around.

Contracts

Contracts are all on the blockchain too. You can usually get the contract from the project information or from marketplaces. Below is a 5 minute video with a good general overview.
