# Searching the Explorer

> Search by transaction hash, address, block height, or contract

# Searching the Explorer

The XYZ Chain Explorer supports searching by several identifiers. Each search type takes you to the appropriate detail page.

## Search by Transaction Hash

Find any transaction using its hash (64 hexadecimal characters):

```
Example: A1B2C3D4E5F6...  (64 hex characters)
```

The transaction page shows:

| Field             | Description                                             |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| TX Hash           | The unique transaction identifier                       |
| Status            | Success or failed (with error message)                  |
| Block Height      | Which block included this transaction (linked)          |
| Gas Used / Wanted | Gas consumed vs. gas limit                              |
| Fee               | Transaction fee paid                                    |
| Messages          | All messages in the transaction with decoded parameters |

<Tip>
  You can copy a TX hash from your wallet's transaction history or from the bridge status tracker after a deposit or withdrawal.

## Search by Address

Look up any XYZ Chain address (starts with `xyz1`) to view:

* **Balances** -- Native XYZ and all CW20 token holdings
* **Delegations** -- Staking positions with each validator
* **Rewards** -- Unclaimed staking rewards
* **Unbonding** -- Active unbonding with countdown timers
* **Transaction History** -- All sent and received transactions
* **Bridge Data** -- Burn records for bridge users

### Validator Addresses

Validator addresses start with `xyzvaloper1` and show:

* Validator details (moniker, commission, description)
* Voting power and delegator count
* Performance metrics

## Search by Block Height

Enter a block number to view:

* Block timestamp and proposer
* All transactions in that block
* Gas usage summary

### Future Block Estimation

The explorer can estimate when a future block will be produced. Enter a block height that hasn't occurred yet to see a countdown based on the average block time (\~6 seconds).

## Search by Contract Address

Enter a CosmWasm contract address to view:

* Contract label and code ID
* Creator address
* Transaction history involving this contract
* Other contracts deployed from the same code ID

You can also browse all contracts by navigating to the **Smart Contracts** section and searching by:

* **Contract address** -- Finds a specific contract
* **Creator address** -- Shows all contracts deployed by that address

## Search by Code ID

In the Smart Contracts section, browse by code ID to see:

* Upload hash and creator
* Instantiation permissions
* All contracts deployed from this code
