What is a Bitcoin transaction explorer?
Bitcoin transaction explorers (block explorers) are online tools that allow users to track data related to the Bitcoin blockchain. They provide access to information about transactions, blocks, addresses, and other network statistics.
Key features of explorers:

🔵 Block analysis: Explorers can view information about blocks, such as the block number, hash, creation time, and number of confirmations.
🔵 Address tracking: Users can view the balance and transaction history of a Bitcoin address.
🔵 Network Status: They provide data on the current mempool size (unconfirmed transactions), average fees, and mining difficulty.
