List of useful Bitcoin block explorers

[Ethan151]

I usually prefer Blockchain.com because it is simple to use and makes it easy to check transactions and wallet activity. I think having a few reliable block explorers is useful because if one is not working properly, you can always check the same transaction somewhere else.

@GazetaBitcoin
It appears that you missed my "previous update" Roughly 50 days have passed since I made that post and the situation remains the same for those explorers, so I think it's time to remove them from the list.

Oooops! 🤦‍♂️ Please forgive me, SFR10, I have no idea how I missed that for 50 DAYS Oo
I am in vacation right now and I have only the phone with me and it's difficult to make such changes from the phone... But I will apply them once I get home.

Finally back home However, I wrote another reason for eliminating Gliese than the one you provided. When you made that post, you said Gliese was in maintenance mode since May. However, now it's working but it is no longer a Bitcoin explorer.

I moved to Eliminated Explorers the four websites - cryptoID, Satosys, ChainQ and Gliese. You will be able to share it in the topic you translated. Thanks.}

New explorer added - BlockSight.Live. You will be able to share it in the topic you translated. Thanks.}

Hey Gazeta! changes applied in the Spanish and Basque topics, and a new post added in both of them notifying these changes.

Just a heads-up in case some other translator doesn't notice, new changes relate to cryptoID, Satosys, ChainQ and Gliese, while BlockSight.Live was an earlier change.

Ooops that was in the above line inside same post of mine, but I edited my post for making the change more visible

Sorry but I'm a week behind with forum updates/content (had to go to the capital to sort out some things, so I'm really in the dark about what's going on or what's this all about!). Got back home yesterday!

So we just remove four explorer from the list of block explorers?

These four (cryptoID, Satosys, ChainQ and Gliese)? To the Eliminated.

And (BlockSight.Live), to new explorer.

Right? CMIIW...

I frequently make use of mempool.space to check or track transactions on Bitcoin ledger but lately, the mempool website is not opening and for some times now it hasn't been able to grant me access to the website so I am thinking if it is from the website because I have clear cache and also try other explorer on the same browser and all are opening properly without delay but mempool isn't opening till now even through trust wallet too I  cannot be load the page
I really don't know why it is not opening for me does anyone here know why?

You're not the only one... I've experienced the same thing as well and I believe a VPN is the easiest way to fix it ^{[depending on the servers you connect to, you might experience some delays, but it usually helps with the loading issues]}.
^{- Alternatively, you can try other mirrors from our forum users: e.g., [mempool.bitmixlist.org] Announcing the community Mempool.space node}

Thank you for this recommendation. I actually had no idea we have this there as I have been thinking of how to go about it for some time because I am used to mempool as it gives me a clearer view of transaction movement to easily flow with.
I appreciate your efforts for putting up with this reply. I will have to bookmark this mempool link so I can be using it now.

About the mempool.space downtime mentioned above — worth pointing out for anyone building tools around block explorers, not just browsing manually: relying on one explorer's web UI as your only source is fragile for exactly this reason. Outages happen, rate limits kick in, sometimes a site just changes its HTML and breaks whatever you built around it.

If you're doing anything programmatic (bots, portfolio trackers, alert systems, whatever), the API side matters a lot more than the web UI itself. BscScan, Etherscan, and Basescan all have free-tier APIs that are solid enough for personal projects, and something like DexScreener pairs well with them if you also need live price/liquidity data alongside the on-chain side.

One thing worth checking before you commit to any of them: rate limits. Free tiers vary a lot between providers, and if you're polling frequently or across multiple chains at once, that becomes the actual bottleneck a lot faster than people expect — same failure mode as the mempool.space situation above, just self-inflicted instead of the site going down on its own.

You're very welcome I did more digging and found out there's another one ^{[worth bookmarking as well (in case the other mirror temporarily goes down)]}: mempool.emzy.de
^{- I almost forgot to mention trying their onion site with a Tor browser (refer to the "Different other sites / .onion links" section in the opening post). You'll experience fewer issues with it.}

I am not too vast in the onion site and tor browser of a thing but I think the initial you had brought up is okay with me for now but I will still take my time to learn more about the onion site and tor browser to know how it functions so I can make use of it diligently without having any thing to worry myself about.

It appears that two more platforms have shut down their explorers:

• I noticed CloverPool's explorer was redirecting to their mining pool, so I did some digging and found the following announcement: Notice on Discontinuation of CloverPool Blockchain Explorer Service
• CoinEx explorer returned no results and I had no luck finding an announcement about their explorer, but it probably has something to do with gradually halting their exchange operations ^{[their wallet and vault services aren't affected]}: Important Notice on CoinEx’s Orderly Cessation of Operations

Thank you for the update, SFR10! I moved both websites to "Removed blockexplorers" section.

I also added an abbr code at mempool.space, indicating also the link provided by NotATether below (mempool.bitmixlist.org) and one more, suggested by NeuroticFish (https://mempool.emzy.de).

I moved to Eliminated Explorers two websites - CloverPool and CoinEx. I added an "abbr" BBCode at mempool.space, containing two mirror links (mempool.bitmixlist.org and mempool.emzy.de). You will be able to share it in the topic you translated. Thanks.}

May we please, pretty please, add this to the OP?

May we please, pretty please, add this to the OP? 

Since you said "pretty", how could I not do it?

However, since several sites have mirror links -- and none was added -- in this case I did a thingy for adding that extra link. So I added a "abbr /abbr" BBCode sequence on mempool.space. If you hover the mouse over its name, you will see also the link you provided.

Thank you for the suggestion!
