Blockscout

Whitechain uses Blockscout as its block explorer. In a browser you can inspect transactions, addresses, blocks, and token transfers. For a verified contract you can read the source, call read methods, and submit write methods.

Reading chain data with the API

Blockscout exposes an HTTP API that returns the same data the browser shows: balances, transactions, logs, token transfers, and verified contract details. It offers four interfaces, so you can use whichever matches your existing code. Full endpoints and parameters are in the API reference, by network. The API answers targeted lookups: one address, one transaction, or recent logs. For large custom queries across the full chain history, a dedicated indexer is the right tool. Whitechain indexer support is documented as providers integrate. If a request fails, check whether the explorer and its API are running on the status page.

API access and rate limits

The Blockscout API is public and read-only, and needs no API key. It is rate limited per IP to protect the service, so batch related lookups and cache results where you can. For sustained or high-volume querying across the full chain history, run your own indexer or Blockscout instance rather than the public API.
