How to Use the Avail Explorer

The Avail Explorer (opens in a new tab) serves as a powerful interface for interacting with the Avail network. Whether you're a developer, a validator, or an end-user, the explorer provides you with the tools to inspect network activities, manage accounts, and participate in governance. This guide will walk you through its key features.

Advanced Features
Manual Transactions and RPC Calls
For developers and advanced users, the explorer offers features like manually submitting transactions (opens in a new tab), making RPC calls, and other debugging tasks.
CONFIDENCE
The explorer hosts a light client that performs Data Availability Sampling (DAS) to verify data availability. The very latest blocks may not display a confidence score until this process is complete.
