# Block Explorers
Explorers enable you to search the history of Nibiru for transactions, blocks, accounts, smart contracts, and other activities on the Nibiru blockchain.
# What is a Block Explorer?
A block explorer is an online tool that monitors and displays data on a blockchain network. It enables users to search for specific transactions, review account balances, track contract interactions, and more. Block explorers also often offer features such as wallet integrations and interfaces for decentralized governance.
# Nibiru Block Explorers
Explore blockchain activity on Nibiru with the following block explorers. EVM explorers provide insights into smart contracts, token transactions, and account balances, while Interchain explorers track Cosmos-SDK-based transactions and governance activities.
