The State of Block Explorers: A Tiered Analysis
Tiering block explorers based on their functionality, ZachXBT emphasized the dire need for enhanced on-chain transaction tracking beyond the realm of Ethereum. While singling out popular players like Blockchair, Mempool, and WalletExplorer for Bitcoin, ZachXBT applauded these platforms as exemplary in providing efficient transaction tracking capabilities.
Diving deeper into the realm of block explorers, ZachXBT shed light on the subpar performance of explorer services on Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible chains like OKLink, Solana’s Solscan, and Ripple’s Bithomp. Dubbing them as ‘okay’ but not quite optimal, ZachXBT’s critique highlighted the need for more robust and user-friendly exploration tools in the industry.
Exploring the Bottom Tier: A Closer Look
In a candid assessment, ZachXBT placed a selection of block explorers—including Cosmos, Bittensor, Hedera, Harmony, Algorand, Aptos, and Sui—in the bottom tier. With a particular emphasis on the shortcomings of Aptos and Sui, which he described as ‘not great,’ ZachXBT’s evaluation underscores the pressing need for improvement and innovation in the block explorer landscape.
