# Block Explorers

Block explorers provide a user-friendly interface to view detailed information about blocks, transactions, accounts, and other on-chain data. The XION network is supported by multiple community-operated explorers, helping developers, validators, and end-users track on-chain activity.

We maintain a list of recommended block explorers for both **mainnet** and **testnet** in the [Cosmos chain registry](https://github.com/cosmos/chain-registry).

* **Mainnet Explorers**

* **Testnet Explorers**
  * [https://www.mintscan.io/xion-testnet](https://www.mintscan.io/xion-testnet.)

* [Testnet 1 `xiontestnet/chain.json`](https://github.com/cosmos/chain-registry/blob/master/testnets/xiontestnet/chain.json)
* [Testnet 2 `xiontestnet2/chain.json`](https://github.com/cosmos/chain-registry/blob/master/testnets/xiontestnet2/chain.json)
