SDK CLI

# List explorers
settlemint platform list services --type insights

# Restart explorer
settlemint platform restart insights blockscout <name>

SDK JS

// List explorers
const listExplorers = async () => {
  const explorers = await client.insights.list("your-app");
  console.log('Explorers:', explorers);
};

// Get explorer details
const getExplorer = async () => {
  const explorer = await client.insights.read("explorer-unique-name");
  console.log('Explorer details:', explorer);
};

// Restart explorer
const restartExplorer = async () => {
  await client.insights.restart("explorer-unique-name");
};

Using the Explorer

When the blockchain explorer is deployed and running successfully, you can:

1. Access the web interface through the Interface tab
2. View in fullscreen mode for better visibility
3. Inspect blocks, transactions, addresses and balances

Key features:

• View latest blocks and transactions
• Search by block number, transaction hash, or address
• Inspect transaction details and status
• View account balances and token transfers
• Monitor smart contract interactions

• Gas usage and fees
• Input data and events
• Status and confirmations
• Related addresses

Address Details

Click an Account address to view:

• Balance and token holdings
• Transaction history
