This article shares the use of the Ethereum blockchain explorer Etherscan.
Home Page#
The main functions on the home page are shown in the figure below:
The most commonly used function is the search function. Fill in the address, contract, ENS, transaction hash, etc. you want to query to learn all the information about them.
Transaction Query#
When transferring funds to others and the transaction is not confirmed, you can use the transaction hash to confirm the reason, such as low transaction fee setting, wrong address, etc.
The details page corresponding to a transaction hash is shown in the figure below (the data displayed for contract operations and token transfers in the Value and Input fields may be slightly different).
Contract Query#
Here, we take the previously popular PEPE as an example. First, search for it, but it is recommended to directly use the contract address for searching!
You can see information about the contract, such as price, number of holders, number of transactions, market circulation, market value, etc.
Contract Operations#
Next, let's take an example of how to query the number of PEPE tokens owned by an address.
- Click on "Contract"
- Click on "Read Contract"
- Click on "Connect to Web3" and connect your wallet as prompted
- Fill in the address you want to query
- Click "Query"
Here, we use an address of a large holder for the query.
Note: Actual quantity = Queried value / Token precision value
You can see that the result matches the actual quantity held.
Address Query#
Taking an address from Binance as an example, you can see the token holdings and transaction information for that address.
